One of the best Super Mario Bros. hacks thus far in terms of custom mechanics added! We've got P-Switches, custom powerups, swimming in puddles, and a lot more!

Hi kosmic

[@BriansMe]

your dog is so cute lol

[@PierceArner]

Those winged goombas definitely deserved their spot as the boss fight for how frequently they took away your power ups!

[@BriansMe]

@Anna huh

[@Typical.Anomaly]

Is this rom hack available to download anywhere?

[@Bismuth9]

Probably the most well-made romhack so far, shame it wasn't completed!

that goomba boss fight was definitely interesting 😂

[@souptaels]

*The Mario series having over 100+ powerups throughout the games* Rom hackers: "so uh... hammer suit as a 'custom' powerup again?"

[@Heavy_Orbital]

I really don't know why they insist on adding the hammer suit, it's a really bad item.

[@souptaels]

@@Heavy_Orbital I don't get it either. It's just a fire flower with a different arc. You have the cape, blue shell, mini Mario, etc., but let's just add fire flower 2 instead.

[@abumonke118]

@@souptaels honestly i find hammer to be more annoying to aim. And i guess it kills different stuff than fire flowers do but it isn't going to be that useful for a smb1 hack (hammer suit in NewerSMBWii is accually pretty good)

[@NZIA]

@@souptaels The problem is that those power-ups are very hard to add, for the hammer suit, they can just use the same 'actor' for when a hammer bro throws a hammer and make it kill enemies on collision. It's even simpler in Newer Wii, where they just take the actor of when Yoshi spits out a hammer.

[@souptaels]

@@NZIA I mean, yeah, but I'd say the effort would still be somewhat worth it, at least

[@mineland8220]

Its really intresting what people can do with such old titles. The power of reverse engineering games to do other stuff they werent designed to is outstanding. Cheera

[@hdofu]

check out Super Mario Bros Special: 35th anniversary edition, a masterpiece of what could be done with Super Mario Bros porting an exclusive computer title with exclusive powers up and enemies.

[@Sqk.]

@@hdofu Yeah, the original SMB Special had many problems and the 35th anniversary edition really redeemed it

[@thag_simmons]

the rollercoaster of emotions when you got to that last level!! I'm so sad that this wasn't finished, especially since that ice flower looked great. imagine the puzzle potential, ooagh 😭

[@Lierofox]

I'm wondering if the sound effects being weird is because they changed the sound channel priority so the music is a higher priority than the sound effects, causing the sound effects to get clipped, or played back with fewer than normal sound channels? The music didn't seem to change as a result of sound effects like it usually does (except for the P Switch music.)

[@marioisawesome8218]

extra sound channel(s). instead of having a restriction of 2 squares, one triangle, one noise, and one dcpm, the famicom can use sound chips hidden in the cartridge to boost the in game sounds. it's probably using the FDS sound chip but i'm suprised how they managed that on an NES, which i don't think uses extra sound chips from cartridges.

[@ExperimentIV]

@@marioisawesome8218 yeah there’s tons of nes games with extra sound chips. people use them in famitracker a lot.

[@lukahmad5683]

[@Urist_Mythrilforged]

I was expecting this comment.

[@zetaoid]

I would have been so disappointed if this comment didn't show up. Thanks.

[@devansurf]

By the far the most well made rom hack you've played, that fact that this rom has so many more features compared to others speaks on the level of difficulty of making it

[@Jdtendo]

13:40 : Seems like a perfect spot for 8000 point shell kick

[@ccvjd3909]

He moved his desk to a different wall.

[@michaelmahoney5677]

I love that Luigi's hat in the lives indicator changes color when you get a fire flower!

[@CosmicNyan]

i'm pretty sure that didn't require any additional coding. it probably just uses luigi's palette, so when luigi's palette changes the lives indicator does too because it would be a waste to include the same palette twice.

[@BUGFlower413]

The H. suit, the way the levels are build (things like the beginning of w1-4 or the pipe before the boss), the boss, the music, everything about this hack is just mindblowing O.O

[@Moja_Ballada]

13:54 The most satisfying moment xD

[@edwardgrin8556]

This mod is insane! If I saw this mod in my childhood my mind would blown into pieces!

[@letsfailgaming9850]

6:38 perhaps they made the multi-coin behave like NSMB-DS coin blocks where if you empty them they give a mushroom

[@LtCdrXander]

That 8-bit Prelude was crispy! Not sure if it sounded that good in the original games or what, but still, good choice of title music!

[@Neubulae]

It did

[@SA77888]

Kosmic - heres a Rom hack I thought ya might be intrested in, Im playin it now its called ' The Desert Trip '. Its hard af without being tolly or having cheap deaths..........has lots of them red pirahna plants that still come up even when close to/on top of the pipe which makes for some difficult jumps/timing Id say its about as hard as SMB2J or slightly harder.

[@macethorns1168]

10:40 LOL "it's so threatening...in the least threatening way"

[@pkmntrainermark8881]

Always nice to hear Super Mario Land music. I could practically hear the sound effects.

[@SomeGuy712x]

Man, this hack seems really impressive! (13:56) Nice triple kill! You're apparently really good at doing that by accident!

[@aroohwahoou]

I love how the sound effects sound like they're being emulated wrong... but that's just what they sound like

[@MunaAlaneme]

13:26 - Perfect Music Transition

[@tsm688]

The meme as I recall it, is actually "water in the fire".... It's reassuring to see a speedrunner get hurt as badly by the RNG as anyone else!

[@copperymarrow1583]

The picture of Luigi at the top-left CHANGES when he gets a fireflower. Very nice!

[@spurdosparde8197]

man this game has so much potential, i hope this gets completed someday

[@TheZenytram]

That Pokemon battle theme was fits like a glove for boss themes

[@macethorns1168]

2:56 my goodness Kosmic is amazing

[@TheAdvertisement]

9:40 This goomba fight was awesome.

[@flames2089]

I swear Kosmic could just stare at the camera for ten minutes and it'd still.be entertaining as heck.

17:24 Poor Luigi, never being recognized. :(

[@macethorns1168]

13:10 *that* pipe is the best I've seen. Wow.

[@peaberry9413]

His dog is so cute.

[@PierceArner]

Am I correct in assuming that your prediction about the chat / comments' reaction to the Fire Flower in the Blue Lava at 14:55 is in reference to Korone's _"Water in the Fire! Why?!"_ from her English SMB playthrough?

[@Computer_Freak_2004]

This looks so cool! Need to play this sometime.

[@thekingoffidget52]

6:37 In New super Mario bros DS, When you hit a multicoin block and get all the coins, a mushroom spawns. even when you are big.

[@HarryToeface]

When I heard the super Mario land music I felt so happy they incorporated that into a romhack

[@blasterfox3000]

That's the best SMB Romhack ever. All of this sick stuff in the original Super Mario Bros? THAT'S INSANE!!!

First vertical levels, now entire custom bosses. ASM is amazing but simultaneously difficult af. Wish I was an expert at it.

I really need to know if it's possible to mod/hack the original game so that it gives you a 1UP when you touch the top of the flagpole, as opposed to 5000 points.

[@JustJamesNotJerry]

I’m very curious how this is even possible, I saw a video on how SMB1 works and it seems like it would be impossible to do this if it’s on actual hardware. Very impressive hack.

[@ThomasfanSQBProductions]

This was a very cool hack (now I want to play it but I can't find it)! BTW, I see two "references" to Sonic. One was your shirt, and the second was when you said "Welcome to Green Hill Zone". Teaser maybe (IDK)?
