Have you played Super Mario Sunshine on the real GameCube? The heat effects is on the real console, and heat effects removed is not accurate emulation in my book.
I don't care if the image looks like someone smeared something over it, it's a genuine part of the game and not some kind of side effect from the emulator.
But yeah I believe you, if it's a hack then I can relax.

They're the supreme devs, they can do whatever they want.
People might start complaining that the heat effects is annoying and before you know it someone found a way to remove it completely.
I'm paranoid OK!
Basically NeoBrainX did it to have some fun with FIFO player, it was not committed anywhere and it was just a hack posted here (coincidentally) by a dev
Thanks for the info, now I can sleep good at nights!
Why not add it as an hack option?
I remember it was kind of annoying when playing SMS at high resolution.
I'd suggest to write the code like this though, instead that with a chain of ifs:
static u8 sms_heat_haze_data = {...};
if(CONFIG->remove_sms_heat_haze_hack && !memcmp(g_pVideoData, sms_heat_haze_data, sizeof(sms_heat_haze_data)))
skip = true;
Because if we started doing that the Dolphin code would crumble under a pile of hacks.
I say the less non-useful hacks the merrier.
Speeds hacks though is another thing, the ZTP speed hack have literally changed everything in Twilight Princess.

lol when I read that question I first thought it'd be some kind of early april's fool :p
As for making the hack an option: That is not really up to discussion for obvious reasons.
We need a hack for every BS post-processing effect nintendo uses to ruin there games. WW DoF, TP bloom, SS DoF, SMS heat, WW heat, mario kart wii bloom, etc.
