Thank you for the very honest and very fair review of my hack! It was done at a time where I had very little game design experience (not like I'm a professional now). I'm glad to see it's still being enjoyed this long ago. I understand the project isn't going to be enjoyed by everyone and it's really rough around the edges. I hope people have some interest in the spiritual success, "Koopa Kingdom Escape" that I've been working on over the past 2 years.
I just got my own NES Cartridge so I can play it on the original hardware, and I gotta say it is my favorite SMB 3 Hack so far! I haven't found all the keys yet, but I've enjoyed all the levels and especially the wand powerup.
great work and kudos to you
🙏
You know you could do regular reviews of hack, bootleg and homebrew games and such. I'd watch that.
+LeatherIceCream I'd love to see a review of Super Mario World: Call of Cthulu!!!
I'd really like to see a review of "SMW The Escence Star"
LeatherIceCream
LeatherIceCream zTHAT IS CALLED JONTRON
Leather wtf are you doing here
It looks too depressing to play.
I demand more colors.
Shoulda been super mario bluebird of sadness
You woulda loved original Gameboy then.
Ch33zyBreadTrellie bro this is 5 years ago.
So this is basically Super Mario Bros. 3: The Lost Levels.
I can't speak for the gameplay but Jesus this game is ugly. Horrible palette choice and level maps make no sense.
Yes, like I said in the review, it's pretty depressing to look at.
I like the darker tone of this game. It makes it stand out for a Mario game.
***** Eh, depends on the creativity of the creator on how those colors get used. There's a palette of 54 or so, although granted certain tints aren't present and there's pretty strict restrictions on how to allocate and use them. But nonetheless, an NES game can be made beautiful. I think the dull colors of Mario Adventure probably have a lot to do with the weather gimmicks, enemies, and custom power-ups that sort of limited what the palettes could be used for. Or maybe he just really wanted it to look that way, I dunno.
Different is better.....
@@JamesNintendoNerd where do you buy these?
Looks playable tho. Thats pretty cool that you can reset it without worrying about losing your progress.
Ugh that color pallete is terrible.
Agreed why is the sky gray why is the grass grey
Not too dissimilar to world 8 in the original tbh
Mike, I'm glad to see you're showing great improvements as a reviewer. You're moving away from simply "giving an opinion" to actually "describing the product" so that the reader/listener can make his/her own mind about whether they would like it or not (which is what a professional reviewer is supposed to do).
Some subjectiveness still shines through, on occasions, but you're so much better overall that I can't really complaint. Keep it up. Looking forward to see your future reviews now.
Several levels in Mario 3 were pretty bad though too.
cool
like the one where you just have to run right while getting stars or die? yeah i hated that one when i was a kid and now i see it as a waste of stage
Diego Medina
Yeah and the one at the end of the game where there is a real specific jump.
i'm pretty sure it's either 8-1 or 8-2 or maybe both and that airship before those levels> try to beat that with a frog suit it's hard as balls but fun as hell
ProtoMario true World 8 is a pain in the ass especially all of the airship stages... although the Airship theme being my favorite mario theme got rid of some of the pain xD
"Have a pen and paper ready." What is this? the 90's?
Well, we are playing NES games, so why not... :P
Captain Southbird xD. imma use notepad instead lol
Zyad48 - The Warrior of Evil Pen and paper, that brings back memories of gaming in the 80's. these days I can just take a picture of the screen from my cellphone
V Guyver lol I remember writing stuff down when playing metroid prime when I was younger xD
Zyad48 - The Warrior of Evil oh yes, it got crazy by the end of the 32bit era. Because by that point we had PC's, I went from just writing down notes to writing or reading gamefaqs, and then printing it all. Then years later, I scarcely ever pick up a pencil/pen and paper.
Weird how technology changes even basic things like writing.
Damn, now you made me want to play this game so badly.
Here's a DL www.romhacking.net/download/hacks/70/ youll probably need your own SMB3 rom and lunar IPS or snestool to patch it
Sato Link didn't work, and I will probably just play it on an emulator. I wanted to record some of the gameplay, but my main PC's motherboard is currently broken. :(
MMDE
the suggestion is to play it on the emulator yeah. and it's not too hard to find the rom patch out there :)
You should review the more obscure hacks, like the flea market ones. Although, I guess that would be classified as a bootleg...
The graphics look depressing
Its a NES game. Shut up
I think he was just talking about the color scheme, not the fidelity. It is a bit gloomy, but who cares if the game is fun.
Its a nes are enough why the shut up ?? I hate this people with fucking internet eggs. In the real world this suckers arrrre sooo small !!!!
Yeah. This graphics is shit. Original Mario 3 or Kirbi looks way more awesome then this depression.
I like it. More games need rain.
Fantastic review! :-)
No comments
I'm 39 years old and grew up with these games. I don't play anymore but I love this channel and the vids you guys make. Thank you for filling the plot holes of my youth.
Peace.
you’re now 43 years old!
@@michelangelo5903 hahaha imagine coming back to comment every 5 years about this guy's age
lorocator this is my new life goal! ill make sure to keep you posted lmao
0:12 - Thank you. :)
Mike, I respect your judgement on these matters, but I've noticed that that you seem to have a rather elitist attitude regarding the difficulty of games. This might be due to us being gamers of different generations but, think about it, is having no checkpoints fun? Is constantly failing at a level, having to repeat it again and again from the start, really super fun for people? Games should have the option to save midway through so as to make it, you know, fun? Rather than hole-in-door punchingly hard. It just makes me not want to play anymore and, contrary to popular opinion, is not all the more satisfying at the end. Sorry, ranting...
I believe it is satisfying when there are less check points in some cases. I was born in 92, so that's a whole decade away from Mike's time. It might be preference, but I also believe that check points have spoiled some gamers. Gamers now complain when there aren't enough check points when the case might be that there are too many check points and the gamer is so spoiled, they think they need more help. Like I said, its all preference. Unlike Mike, I don't think those "guides" that beat the level for you or make you invincible the whole level are bad. If that's how someone wants to beat the game, then by all means, let the game do the work. But I do think gamers don't appreciate the help found in games now and I consider that being spoiled.
You get a better sense of accomplishment (like Mike said) after beating a more difficult game. It's not a game for those kids who just play a game to beat it. Games like this are what prove who the gamers really are.
Checkpoints done right can be satisfying. I think Super Mario World had the right balance.
***** Says the person with a profile pic of a cartoon mouse.
pollo20x6 Ok, spoiling players is an issue. There's a fine line between appropriate and patronising difficultly. For some, risk is a motivator, I guess. Although, the idea that all could be lost at one miss-timed jump, does not appeal to me. Auto saves, for example, are great news because I'm not constantly stressed as I know that even if I fuck up, I can just pick it straight up again where I left off. This allows me to loosen up and enjoy myself playing the game and appreciate it more, which is kinda the point. Who wants to be stressed playing Mario, anyway? (Incidentally, I was also born in '92.)
Mike really upped his review game.
What up now, Egoraptor? WUT?? ...Yeah you ain't doin' shit.
Mike, the writing for this episode was really great. You've really improved over the years in your scripts.
Mike noticed a vine being weird, but ignores bullet bills trying to hit him with their butts.
I've always felt these hacks/homebrews alienated themselves by being unnessiceraly difficult. Kinda kills the intuativness/general fun that Nintendo had to offer.
I kinda agree on that. It might be fine for fans who want a bigger challenge, and they still show a lot of polish regardless, but we rarely ever got a ROM-hack that actually features difficulty reminiscent of that of an official Nintendo title. I don't know what the fascination is that fans have towards making frustrating levels and fangames. The same goes for the custom stages in Mario Maker.
I kinda hope you guys will cover Megaman 4 Minus Infinity.
Lakitu actually WAS in Mario 3, at least one level.
Trust me, I would know.
More than one, and had a variant. (Spiny eggs or the "dud" green ones.)
This game has Lakitu that throws bombs, was the thing
Yep. That fucker kept getting me :(
This is Wakitu... throws bombs... not in super Mario Bros 3
Whoa. I just realized it uses the Adventure Time logo for its cover.
So why don't Nintendo bring out new versions of these old games? Like same cartridges and same graphics level like 8 bit and 16 bit for snes gamers in the 30 to even 50 year old range would love it but game manufacturers don't care about gamers nostalgia just money 💰 anyway that's my rant.....
its kinda sad when the homebrew/hack community has more enthusiasm and originality than nintendo itself...
Brick Tamland
What? Is New Super Mario Bros U not original enough for you? It REEKS of originality!
(I know this comment is three years old, and you probably forgot your password and stuff to this account, lol
Lakitu was in several stages of the original SMB3, it's not a new enemy in this hack.
he did not throw bob-ombs
This version of him throws bombs instead of spinies, thats whats new about him
its wakitu... not lakitu, and you might notice he throw bombs now.
Awesome review mike, you gotta do more of these thx
The author of this hack is currently working on a new hack - Mario Adventure 3 (aka Koopa Kingdom Escape).
FUN FACT: This hack was the only hack featured at GenCon 2014.
When I was a kid I could sail through Mario 3. Not like a speed runner or anything but I put in the time that I could do some pretty badass things.
A year or so ago I re-bought a bunch of old games through the virtual console and found to my horror that I suck-ass at game I used to be good at.
Guess I have to relegate myself to casual status now...
Wouldn't this fall under the definition of a mod rather than a hack? Using the core gameplay mechanics but adding new levels, enemies, etc.......
How would you describe a hack then?
I think both are pretty synonymous.
Cinemassacre Well a "hack" is more commonly associated with malicious intent whereas a mod is just that, a modification for an existing program. I guess you could call it either one though, But additional levels, enemies, items, characters and so forth is usually referred to as a mod in the gaming community.
Cinemassacre
Mods and hacks are not one and the same. A hack is an ingenius way of solving a problem. A mod is the changes that the hack allows the person to make. In this instance, someone wants to make a new Mario game that can run on the NES using graphics from Super Mario Bros. 3.
The problem is that the data in the Super Mario Bros 3 cartridge has already been processed into binary. The person would then develop a hack to figure out what the binary means and how it can be changed. Once binary is understood or converted into a human readable form, then the modding can begin.
Peter Ian Staker Not in games. A Hack is a modded NES cartridge/game, pure and simple.
Try playing Newer Super Mario Bros Wii,
I'm in the process of doing a let's play of that game with commentary from lead designer, Skawo. Check it out if you're ever bored. :)
Lakatu is a savage.
Make a cinemassacre video every day of the week. Different shows like avgn board james mikes reviews and james and mike play
The only thing that bothers me about these homebrew releases is that they cannibalize actual 80s and 90s NES games to make them :/
InformNow Media The what
***** But it's not about the game itself: it's about the destruction of a piece of an age that's gone and lost. It could be a vintage trashy romance novel and I would still find it sad, even though it was always inherently worthless. All objects tell a story regardless of what they are.
***** Wow, insults, beautiful. And a good day to you too.
A bit late, but it doesn't feel like a cannibalization. Think of it like this: SMB3 is a tree, and this hack is the result of a seedling taking root and becoming a new tree.
But no one will judge if you just emulate a hack
Great video! We should see that kind of thing more often!
I mean... Reviews of homebrews and hacks...
good memories :'-)
In Mario 3 666 lol get the flute from level 3 world 1-1 and get the other flute in the castle and us both flutes now u can reach to WORLD 8 TADA!!!!!!
How does one even hack an actual game cartridge anyways.
Why can't Nintendo add ideas like these to their NSMB games? The only thing missing is some new world themes (Besides the space stage) and bosses, and it would be the true Super Mario 5.
4:59 big rhyme
The Second Reality Project Reloaded or The Second Reality Project 2 would be the Super Mario World equivalent (with 2 being much more difficult as it progresses).
I'm really curious as to whether or not the people who actually made the hack get a cut of the profits when people port them to carts. I'm guessing not, which is a shame
But even the original SMB had check points
I like how he hates the checkpoints in this game, yet in most of his reviews he complains about starting the level over.
The vine glitch (where it stops rising) can happen in the actual Super Mario Bros 3 game. Happens to me in 6-10 if I do not climb it as it rises.
Where would one go to buy an actual cartridge version?
+Steve Brown I would also like to know
Ebay!
Even Super Mario Bros 3 was a tough, challenging game that casual players wouldn't have patience for. That game takes some skill to get through, and I was only able to beat it because I grew up with it, dying over and over.
the video quality of game play of the hack is really bad get a better type of video cable
NES only supports RF and Composite. Composite is known for having low image quality. RF is even worse. That's actually not even the problem with this video. It's just that the game looks depressing and Mike mentioned that 3:16.
If you're not that generation of gamer, then go back to cod.
hristaki99 Actually these guys explain an expensive, but possible way to upscale old games to make them play like perfect CRT experiences. Some Japanese device called the Framemeister.
RGB and the Framemeister :: Getting the Best Picture from Retro Consoles - MY LIFE IN GAMING
***** NES games look absolutely terrible that way. It's better in Mike's video. I just don't like seeing the pixels. The bluriness of the original NES gave an illusion of a higher resolution. You just have to play on a CRT with composite to see what I'm talking about.
I guess it's personal opinion. Most people would agree that clear image quality is more pleasant to look at than blurry dots.
Loved this. I want more of these classic reviews like James used to do exclusively!
so a hack for you is basically like most mods for pc-games
yah
9Y0 There's actually a difference. Modding is legal, as it's done with permission from the developer- usually because a game's developer made it legal for anyone to mod their game. Examples include games like Half-Life or Minecraft. Hacking is illegal, as it's done without permission from the developer- thus, an infringement of copyright. The most commonly hacked games would probably be the classic Mario games.
Yep and this kind of mod would be a total conversion :)
***** But wouldn't it technically be legal until you release the game to anyone but yourself? If I am allowed to hack an electronic watch, I'd say I'd be allowed to hack a game cartridge too. Until I give it out.
lol there's a difference between a hack and a mod
Heck, I can't even get through Mario 3, and I play the Super Mario All-Stars remake for Wii.
Where can you get these physical copies?
Google it
Nat Phelps i did and just found rom downloads
Prophis From Ebay etc.
yea i never see these repro or hack types on ebay. once i saw star fox 2, but it was from brazil or something. is there a site that you can go for this stuff?
Prophis I found quite a few by googling.. www.nesreproductions.com/ Seems to be making homebrews from order and the Mario Adventure is even listed on their site.
Here's more sites: www.nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=5&threadid=57823
so can I buy this game someplace it looks interesting and how would I play it on an emulator or can I have it in a cartridge. ...
Donkey Kong Country > Mario
Who wants to fight me?
I can solve the bean stalk glitch. I own the game and love it! It is the baddest ass mario game EVER!. The reason the beanstalk stopped growing is because you hit another block shortly after hitting the beanstalk block. Next time you hit a beanstalk, wait a few seconds to let it grow up all the way before you hit anymore blocks that may be nearby.
Looks like a creative hack. I wouldn't play it because it's hard and I'm not a good gamer, but I appreciate the ideas implemented for this.
This game looks like one big headache and highly tedious but it offers an interesting spinoff of SMB3. I'd still play it simply because I love SMB3 so much it would provide an interesting twist of such a beloved game for sure.👍😎👌
Got on my Droid with a controller. Sweetness achieved.
That looks like a fun Hack NES game, Mike... where can I get a copy?
I guess us gamers who grew up with Nintendo and Sega back in the day, I guess somehow we wished we had stronger challenges towards our classic games. My wish is to have a difficult level on Super Mario RPG for the SNES. Don't get wrong, I love that game, but think about it, would it be nice to have a harder difficulty when you start a new game, or choose a challenge level? (You don't have to agree with me, I am just posting my opinion)
Give "Mario's Some Usual Day" a look, Mike. Its another really good (and hard) Romhack of SMB3.
I want to see a 100% No Death Speedrun now.
lot of links in the "plus" description, but not the one i was looking for : buy/download the game or maybe the webpage of the author. that's several time i was looking for a such game so i'm really interested to try it ! i hope it's not a only cartidige version, because i sold my nes with 20 games last year for 100$... yes, i really needed those 100 $ ^^
"this end has two boom booms" I dunno why but that made me giggle.
You just described a hack and a homebrew as the same thing
What?
The nerd needs to play Jurassic Park on SNES! Thumbs up if you agree. Shittiest/hardest game ever.
That hack looked AWESOME!!!! :-D
But hard too.
the Japanese Mario 2 is effectively the official romhack of Mario 1 if you think about it, so that's a good example to point out with Mario Adventure to Mario 3
You see MIKE, this is the reason why the original mario 2 in japan wasnt release in America. Because the game is toooo hard for the american like us. Mario adventure wasnt even that hard its just added more challenge for the mario fan and other gamer to experience that mario isnt all about jumping your way through the entire level like an idiot. Original mario 2 is way more harder then this game, Japan mario 2 will make you angry very fast. Dont get me wrong mario is a great franchise and game but what Mike said in this video just doesnt cut it for me( some part that is).
so what? That's just your opinion, if you don't think this is as hard as SMB2. Ninja Gaiden 3 is factually harder on the North American version than the Japanese release because of increased damage counters...
did mike just imply that smb3 was a casual game? i mean it certainly wasn't nintendo hard, but it was harder then smw
the deal with the vine can actually happen in the original smb3, what happened was you hit a "?" block while the vine was growing and it canceled it out. the animation of what ever you hit is what stopped the vine, if you go to world 3-4 in smb3 you can do the same thing with the lives near the end, and the same thing with 5-1 in the water area
"Is Mario Adventure a hack or a homebrew?"
The cartridge says "Hack by DahrkDaiz" right there at 0:21
How much did you say fuck while trying to beat this game?
Wasn't the inventory where you could use an item at any time in Super Mario Bros. 3 too?
No, unless you're referring to using items on the overworld map.
The New Super Mario Bros games suck. They are the COD of the Mario franchise. I would much rather play games like Galaxy or 3D World. Those games add some new things and are WAY more fun then those crappy NSMB games.
NSMB or actual CoD? Atleast in NSMB you don't have little kids screaming at you.
Yeah, but they have some of the best level design on any platformer. I never compare them to c¿COD because they are always 1 per console, and their livespans usually overlap. If you think they are to similar, you just buy the one of the console you own or prefer.
Jesus AcHe I think Galaxy and 3D World had WAY better level design. I dont want to buy any of them because I dont want to support carbon copies.
I'd take a Mario side scrolling platform over Galaxy for 3D World anyday!
Niamh W Just shows that people are different. Too much of the same is never good.
It's great that this game exists. Super Mario 3 introduced many great features that were not used enough because it was essentially the last regular adventure style Mario game on the NES before the SNES came out.
It used MMC3 chip that allows a separate space for the timer and diagonal scrolling
Nes game rom hack 💢💢🎮🎮🎮🎮🎮🐉🐉😽😽😽🎊🎉🎉👍🐣🐣👏✌😇😻😻📰📰🍙🍙🎸🎸🐺🐺😆☺👌👌
Holy Crap, I freaking wish the new Super Mario Bros. games were half this freaking creative.
I got this game from TimeWalk Games 2yrs ago. Very difficult but rewarding. You should try Extra Mario Bros. It's a mix of Mario Bros and Metroid!
There some other great SMB3 Rom Hacks out there....My faves are:
- Super Riff Bros. 3
- Super Calm Bros
- Kamikaze Bros. 3 by the one and only Barbarian! *ggg*
Why did you create an imaginary scenario where people struggle to distinguish the difference between home brew games and rom hacks?
Homebrews can come without a cartridge, and now hacks can now be put on a professional looking cartridge. Only confusion comes from not paying enough attention or looking into what you're playing.
I remember reading about the rom and playing it, but being so lost as far as what to do! I was unaware of the stored item, and coin purchase. I may have to give this game a shot again.
Great video loved the review mike however I'd like to see more of these reviews they are very well thought out and i like that it more of an analysis of the game rather than just a score like ign
This romhack is fucking superb, though pretty hard.
Wow, this is a really impressive hack! Thanks for showing this Cinemassacre (Mike)!
I thought they didn't make NES games anymore (not since the early 1990's).
great review, but... do you really think your viewers are casual players ? you insult them ^^
The game looks fun, but the bland night time, autumn and raining colors are a bit of a deal breaker for me. It is a cool idea to randomly swap out the level color palettes like that, but why do they have to be so dark and hard to read?
I have missed your videos Mike i hope you make more this was one interesting review.
My favorite hack of all time, way back in my early childhood 2004. Cant believe I beat it too lol. Best smb3 hack by far
Great video. I didn't even know this existed. For a sense of nostalgic purpose, a friend of mine recently (read: within the last year) picked up a generic NES-y machine, and a copy of Mario 3 to play, and between my experience with the game, and the persistence of said friend and his girlfriend, we eventually managed to beat the game together, something I'd never done without an emulator and save states, and that they'd never done period. I would LOVE to pop this hack in and start up the next great gauntlet with those friends. I bet we'd scream and shout and swear and drink and smoke until we go to the end a month later.
*reads Mario Adventure*
oh boy, a new episode of AVGN?
*clicks video and reads "Review by Mike Matei"*
Eh, I'll take what I can get.
This seems like a really good Mario game, sadly i'm not THAT hardcore to ever finish it. I will try it and see how far i can go, but i wont lie to myself.. i wont finish it. :P
Besides the whole colour-palette issue, I'd actually really like to play this mod! It looks like a fun and well-done take on the original Mario games, but also seems to have a nice, refreshing level of challenge to it: something I'd love, considering my (very long) history of playing through the original Mario Bros. games many times over. Great video, Mike! :)
That seasonal idea is great maybe someone at Nintendo EAD will see it and add it to Mario Maker
New Luigi Bros., Mario Kart 8, and Mario 3D World have reinvigorated my love for Mario. Although the Wii, DS, 3DS, and Gamecube games are very good, Those 3 WiiU games are new classics. I haven't enjoyed any Mario game as much since the N64/SNES days. No exaggeration.
I've seen a lot of hacks and home brew games. How many of these are available on an actual cartridge or disc? Are they expensive? And can these people use their skills to take crappy games and make them better? Most of the movie based games should be hacked to improve quality. And also; I would like to see 8-bit and 16-bit home brew games based on modern movies and TV shows. Breaking Bad for the NES? I'd love to see that! It could incorporate the zapper gun in certain levels.
I like hacks. It puts the world onto another plane of creativity with old franchises. :) This is why being a retro gamer is neat, you get to see how video games get experimented on so much back then in the NES days to make them so different from one another.
Really awesome review, Mike!
Everything you said seems to be 100% accurate. I'd problably say the same thing about it. The only thing I don't know is the gameplay itself. It looks very intresting, but also very complicated. How do you order this game anyway? Thanks for answer!
