[@nathanisbored]

i feel like this is different enough that it might as well be a homebrew fangame rather than a romhack

[@607]

It's not constructed from the source, though, I assume, it actually started from the compiled ROM.

[@nathanisbored]

@@607 right, what i meant was, they may as well have started from scratch because of how much they changed, tho i was mostly joking. i know that would still be way more work

[@607]

@@nathanisbored Maybe, but I think starting from scratch would be in some ways a lot less impressive, and it would be a lot less cool for players of Super Mario Bros.!

[@nathanisbored]

@@607 keep in mind most romhacks do "cheat" a little bit by allowing for bigger rom sizes than the original devs were allowed due to cartridge manufacturing costs. so romhacks will probably always be able to get away with more than their source game. the original smb was only 31kb, but i imagine this hack is probably quite a bit more (a quick google search suggests the NES could go up to 1Mb)

[@trik0me]

@@nathanisbored this hack has 4x as much data and 8x as much graphics

[@jsels777]

This hack is so good that I feel comfortable giving one genuine critique of it. If a player skips the hint using a warp zone, then they have no way of knowing to fall underground. That's the only thing really wrong, other than the difficulty curve being really slow and then really steep. Like I said, the hack is very good and so was the video :)

[@trik0me]

This is a good point, though if people are taking the warp zones, presumably they have played the game before, or they may have to play it through the normal way to "learn a secret".

[@brunoais]

There is a warning in the beginning that if levels are skipped the hints are also skipped

this one is breathtaking graphically. very sharp mix of reused and original sprites but also a lot of really impressive little things in terms of animations, palette work, and a very clean HUD. smb1's unidirectional scroll axis keeps the right edge of the screen clean, which makes a big difference overall IMO relative to smb3. spectacular stuff, nevermind all of the gameplay/QoL improvements, level design, etc!

[@MuffledSword]

Nice, I've been meaning to check out the new deluxe edition of this hack. I don't know if you figured it out later, but the star in 8-1 appears to be your reward for bouncing on the koopas enough times, since lives are meaningless here.

[@JKDontJudgeMe]

New Soup DS Castle Theme is so underrated. I heard it from this and Super Mario Bros. Dimension (another fan-game, not a romhack)

[@JrIcify]

1:48 I knew what part of the song was coming and I saw the three blocks, so I thought "no way in hell he'd want to hit those with the music and think fast enough to get it." And then he did it seemingly by accident making it even more of a gift.

[@nakano15]

Bowser moves like a horror game ghost. If there were trails behind him, would probably make the boss fight scarier.

[@lava-ru5ue]

This would really be a cool speed run. Would definitely make for fun streams once you've run through a lot of the rom hacks casually :)

[@jaygothard7797]

That was so good. It appears to be less of a hack and more of an original game. Normally "hacks" use a particular "Mario game engine" 1,2,3,US 2, etc., but this game contained elements from all 4 and unique elements that none of them contain, Very cool!

[@scottyherring1053]

26:36 "Nailing this beginning" *Immediately dies*

[@WorldinRooView]

24:56 - You got a start here because you jumped on enough koopas to get a 1-up. So it's just not coins when you get a star power but whenever you get a 1-up since there is no lives counter.

[@everythingthrice]

[@monteharris1099]

Bowser's fire without bowser... lol. This is a very well built rom. 👏 and of course kosmic is a master as well.

[@barbarictearemedy]

I think because there are unlimited lives, you instead get a star for any situation in which you would normally get a 1-UP, like 100 coins or bouncing on a large number of enemies

[@ecernosoft3096]

I swear, that "It's a me mario" sounds just like the N64 and SNES. HOW?!

[@aarontesanovich1414]

You have some serious skills. This might be the hardest game I’ve ever played

[@ST0PM0SS]

It's neat that instead of giving you a 1up it gives you a star

[@GMDTheOnyxGuyEizzX]

21:21 I feel like it does not specifically kill it, but just bounces it slightly upward. You can kinda see how it just kinda bops up and then falls down just like it would usually do

Do you include staff roll music? Because Super Mario Land's ending does for a big part play during the credits, if I recall correctly. In that case, I disagree: in my opinion #1 is Mario Kart Wii, #2 is Super Mario Galaxy, and #3 is Yoshi's Island. #4 is Super Mario Land.
