also if you need a copy of the ips for ice Mario hit me up or after world 8, *edit* can confirm all of these are still obtainable as either ips or roms with a bit of knowledge where to look so no real need to spend money on this unless you want to play it on actual hardware and don't own an everdrive... wayback is definetly your friend for a lot of these.
Super Mario Bros Tropical Island Story "In this hack you adventure to a tropical island far away from the Mushroom Kingdom! Graphics are nice and detailed, the game isn’t hard or boring at all, and the hack’s creator replaced a powerup : Instead of getting a Fire Flower, you get a Hammer Suit, and you can transform into…you guessed it : Hammer Mario! This game contains 16 levels, you’re probably saying this needs a bit more levels, and you’re right. But it’s not a short hack compared to some others & the author put real effort inside."
Nice that you’re in good spirits about it. Toad(though specifically Bucken Berry)’s my favorite Mario character/species, so I always love to see ROM hacks where you can play as him/one.
I made Luigi Bros a long time ago, way back when I was in high school. There's actually a newer version of it (still incomplete) which I never released online. So weird seeing it on a multi-cart.
@@gabx007 I guess I should have been more clear. There *was* a newer version of it on my old computer about 20 years ago. I've been out of the romhacking scene for a long time now.
when you said "when I was in highschool" i couldn't tell if that was 1 year ago or 30. so thanks for the clarification. wow it's an older hack for sure!

The version of "All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros" shown off in this video is not the original FDS version converted to an NES rom, it is a remake by YY. The physics in the original version are the same as The Lost Levels, while in the remake by YY they are the same as SMB1. The skid sound is also absent in the YY remake as well and in the original version World 8-4 is also from the Lost Levels while in the YY remake, 8-4 is from SMB1.
I'm really surprised that YY-SMB wasn't included. They included YY's All Night Nippon and his transfer of The Lost Levels into SMB1's engine, so why not that one?
2:16 is what you would find while randomly clicking to the "mari0"s title (mari0 is a game made by stabyouself team, coded with l0ve framework. it basically gives you a portal gun, level editor and custom modpacks to play)
"Tropical Island" seems to be based on Adventure Island by Hudson Soft for the NES. The hammer suit mimics the tomahawk that the main character threw in Adventure Island.
That's really cool that on that second hack Mario Sprite is the one from Super Mario Land 2. That Yoshi one looked quite interesting as Yoshi Sprite is based off of Yoshi's cookie and I could tell if the music was an 8-bit rendition of the main theme from Yoshi's story. The 26th hack you mentioned was pretty awesome to considering that they included some elements from Super Mario Land 2 and even included the underground theme from the first Super Mario Land. I also like that one of the ROM hacks had the castle music from new Super Mario Bros DS
Man, that Ridley X hack of SMB 2 always gets me cuz of the name that I always use for everything, even here. But coincidental name aside, I like this video! Always been a fan of hack compilations like this! Also, be sure not to burn yourself out with that stuff. I know the feel of being sick of many hacks back to back. XD
The Metroid hack should have had Samus turn into her zero suit when she's hit by an enemy, wasted opportunity there. Also surprised the Super Mario World NES demake isn't on the cart.
I’m surprised you keep commenting other channels hoping to grab more viewers for your shltty Wikipedia-out-loud articles full of slow talking and unnecessary explaining.
Very cool. I was just recently thinking of trying a Mario Hacks stream of some kind, and this video gave me a great idea about ones I should check out.
killgruz, i hate to tell you this, but i'd watch you play every single one of these hacks, to 100%, without even any cuts or editing. i would gladly watch an hour or two a day, & you stopped to thank people at *eleven minutes*? little do you know how wonderful you are. :)
"Plus, it uses Phillips screws, which the originals didn't." Not to sound like the nerd in the room, but there were 5-screw carts, which actually did use Phillips screws, as far as i'm aware. Also, some 5-screw carts apparently have 60 (Famicom) to 72 9NES) pin converters in them. If you have any 5 screw carts, look inside of them.
It's 2024 but I somehow found one last year for $15! I don't know how I swear. I've been trying to find this cartridge for years and where he said he found it it wasn't advertised mine has a different label on it though.
Loved this video btw really glad you ground out all of these hacks, I'm surprised you only took a few weeks of a break, I would need a week in between every 2-3 hacks to be able to handle it
Man, This video takes me back to when I discovered your mario 3 hacks video. This was a quite informative video and I like to see how your channel has stood the test of time and is still great. I am probably gonna get this. So in this case, thank you for making this video. Your videos are pretty great and I’m glad to have revisited it! But I’m gonna say it, I liked Super Mario Bros Special. I feel like I’m the only one but I like it alot.
The Mario artwork on the cover is actually the drawing used on the late 80s early 90s Mario Toybox. The image is actually Luigi recolored with an M on his hat... because back then, Luigi and Mario didn't have a separate identity other then their color to distinguish which player's turn it was in the original game.
You give me a Christmas themed Mario game where you play as Toad and all I'll see is that Super Mario Bros. Super Show where he got a sleigh for Christmas and was super obsessed with it.
1:23 The Mario artwork is from the original Super Mario Bros. Japanese version. Which was used on the Western cartridges as well, when Super Mario Bros. came bundled with Tetris and World Cup.
I used to play a NES emulator cd rom in my PlayStation and l remember a smb hack with a super Mario world shape. The colors were beautiful and the enemies, blocks, and items, looked exactly like Mario World. I couldnt find anything about this rom, but it would be great taking a look.
Back in the late 90's there were two hacks my little brother and I liked to play. Abraham Lincoln Brothers - where they wore a top hat and beard. Super Wheelchair Mario - where Mario and Luigi were in a wheel chair.
no its different it has a Blue sky, a cliff, a pipe latuki, shiny, koopa troopa and paratroopa, goomba, bullet bill, hammer bros, Grey ox bowser holding a weird looking peach in a castle. weird looking mario and two toad chained up cheering for mario
"So I won't be able to talk to in depth about every game on this cartridge otherwise we'd be here for 9000 hours or more." Wait, you'd have to talk about a game for 200 hours each!?
You know, the people that made Super Mario Brothers: Tropical Island were actually on to something with this game and when Super Mario Maker 2 came out, guess what happened? Yes, they had a desert theme for Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario World.
Hm... What really jumped out at me was the climbing animations for the Yoshi Evolution hack, because they clearly seemed to be based on Bonk's movement from his NES game.
"The Forgotten Dream" is a really challenging SMB2 hack that changed up all the levels and you can play as Yoshi instead of Luigi. Pretty cool one I tried as a kid. This vids old but I thought I'd suggest it Also thank you for bringing me nostalgia with EDS Bros, I loved that one
Dude, hacks etc. There is a different SMB-hacks culture in ex-USSR segment. there were OTHER games, hacked to be sold as SMB4-5-6 up to 25 to my knowledge.
A fairly easy way to check if its the original all night nipon is this, play the luigi game, he should be in his outfit and have his super Mario bros 2 japan control physics (jumps higher, takes longer to stop running). As far as I'm aware though I don't think there was a proper conversion of all night nipon but simply rom hacks designed to look like the original. Super Mario Bros 2 however was properly converted a few years ago, there were earlier glitchier efforts and straight up rom hacks for that one as well though.
Wow, this one was a lot of work to put together. Took me way longer than I thought! Sorry for the delay, but I hope you enjoyed it!
No part 3 I have a game genie code that makes power ups and 1-ups levitate AVLUKG
Only works on the super mario bros cartridge
it's okay! quality over quantity!

I just realized I have never seen the inside of an nes cartridge. Thank You for rectifying that.
Super Mario Unlimited has some cool features like "Find all 32 Mario coins to unlock secrets".

So as of late 2022, these cartridges have gone extinct! I can't find this 45 in 1 game anywhere!! They're extinct!
I like that everytime he says "New graphics and new levels" :)
Got a few of these on my SNES mini, man I love that thing...
why this feels like the 2012 videos about super mario bros hacks? it gives me nostalgia
I can't believe this cartridge is missing MC Mario! 🤣
I admit to buying this (famicom cartridge version) after pausing half-way through the video :D

Love your videos, even though they come out somewhat sporadically. The old ones are still worth watching.
You know, the people that made Super Mario Brothers: Tropical Island were actually on to something with this game and when Super Mario Maker 2 came out, guess what happened? Yes, they had a desert theme for Super Mario Brothers and Super Mario World.

If Bowser kidnapped Yoshi, then do you get to ride Peach like you normally ride Yoshi? That would be hilarious.

Mario rescues Yoshi
Santa's evil brother? They didn't use Krampus? Facepalm!

Just mind blowing, how they could stiff 45 mario hacks on 1 single cartride.
I don't know, maybe RAM switching or something like that
14:47 i love the fact wario bros has the original theme but in minor key

well done, mate! really cool review!
It's great to have an 8bit remix of a theme I like
A fairly easy way to check if its the original all night nipon is this, play the luigi game, he should be in his outfit and have his super Mario bros 2 japan control physics (jumps higher, takes longer to stop running).

Super Mario Bros 2 however was properly converted a few years ago, there were earlier glitchier efforts and straight up rom hacks for that one as well though.
Fun fact, the creator of Mario Adventure has been making a sequel for a while now.
