Mario Adventure game hack

by Blake Snow { Feb 13th 2006 at 8:00AM }

This is arguably the most professional and best designed new game hacks we've ever seen. The game's creator goes by DAHRKDAIZ, and we want to give him a big shout out in advance. Regarding the new hack, Vintage Computing writes: "... Just last week I was about to keel over for want of Mario when, at the last minute, I found the greatest NES game hack of all time, Mario Adventure... this is a real game, a new game, crafted with care... using the Super Mario Bros. 3 game engine."

If you haven't already, embrace the nostalgia in an all new way.

[Thanks, Eliot]

how do i do this, do i just put the patch in the same file as the mario 3 ROM?

Its cool but its ridiculously hard and frustrating, which doesnt make it fun, but a boring chore to play.

This is great!
After setting this up and giving it a try, I realized that it's portable too!
I've set this up on my thumbdrive and will be collecting more now.

THANKS!

I think the page for the website is broken. It's giving me a 404 error.

Vince @ Feb 13th 2006 3:58PM

Wow...This game is too damn random and hard to play.

Get the file here: http://www.zophar.net/hacks/nes.html

The reason I sent the page link and not the file link is because there is one version for the PRG0 version of the SMB3 (U) rom and one for the PRG1 version.

This game is amazing. I've just beaten the second world and though it is definitely incredibly difficult, it's a lot of fun. You get infinite lives so you can try a level as many times as you want without having to go back to the beginning of the world if there's a game over. The new power-ups are really cool (Though Magic Mario is kind of overpowered) and the level design is great. Although if you have any trouble with mario 3 at all, this game will be waaaaaay too tough.
