The Pipes can send you ANYWHERE

This is XXXX, The Super Mario Bros. game 4 X's in 1 title where pipes send you to random locations. Collect 4 stars in 1 go and you'll get warped somewhere random. Collect enough and you'll find Peach :)

For those curious, Frantik looked into how the game works and said this: "When you get 4 stars, it checks the number which is keeping track of the "color cycle" for the coins/? blocks. if it's 1, it will send you to princes. if it's 3 or 5, it will send you to bowser sans princess. and any other number sends you to a random room so 1/6 chance of princess, 1/3 chance of bowser with no princess, and 1/2 chance any random room"

[@gloweye]

Sounds like it's speedrunnable with that information...

[@Kosmicd12]

@@gloweye that's just to handle the star warps, each pipe transition is would be much harder to control

the "beyond the wall" tip is for the room shown at 10:28, in second quest go over the wall at the end and there's another pipe that leads to a set of kaizo rooms

[@MewtwoStruckBack]

Someday, someone's going to make a romhack that punishes you for getting Small Fire and it'll be hilarious. Like...the game does some kind of check to see if you were ever in that state and right near the end of the game throws in an unavoidable game over if you were ever Small Fire, but if you weren't, the game progresses normally.

[@sarysa]

So the title theme was Lufia 2's overworld theme. The most common gameplay theme was the 1st dungeon theme from Wonder Boy III: Dragon's Trap ...but I have no clue what the Bowser Castle theme was.

[@Valacosa]

The Bowser Castle music is the boss music from Final Fantasy 2 ... for Gameboy! I played Gameboy a lot as a kid. Surprise hit of nostalgia. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p32TdYR7odKIaZI

Oh my god! 2:00 that's one of my favorite boss themes ever! It's from Final Fantasy Legend 2 for Game Boy, which I think is actually SaGa 2.

It hasn't for me. That game is such a masterpiece that I keep coming back to it once in a while~

Have you played, or know of any ROM hacks that have procedural level design like Spelunky? Rogue-like Mario would be pretty cool, maybe.

[@Whkixsbukb]

Spelunky is unreachable on the spectrum of uniqueness

[@TheSteeltec]

Okay I dont know if there's a romhack like this or a way to even make one. But what about a transition randomiser? Every time you go through a screen transition, like a pipe or the end of a level, it takes you to a completely random transition, like if you take the very first pipe it puts you into the start of 2-4 or you pop out of a pipe in 2-1. The goal would be to try and find a way to the last level and beat the game. Again I have no technical knowledge of if this could be done but it sounds really cool!

[@lerikhkl]

Crazy that it was made in 2003, 18 years ago. OG Super Mario Bros. was made in 1985, 18 years before that!

The legendary romhack... small fire and 8000 shell kick!

If the hack was RNG based and there was a 1/6 chance that you got the princess and a 1/3 chance that you go to Boswer in the first place, it's a little confusing as to why you got sent to so many random rooms.
