The Ultimate Mario Fan Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Back in the day, I used to really dislike anything fan-related when it came to Super Mario. I'm not really sure why, maybe it's just because I was a purist or something. But I've come to find that the fans have done some pretty incredible things, especially in the realm of fan games! What are some of your favorite mods, hacks, and homebrews? I honestly used to know nothing about this topic until a few weeks ago when someone recommended I play Mario Adventure on NES, which is a SMB3 hack. While I still don't think any fan games hold a candle to the real thing, I was nevertheless impressed by just how extensive Mario Adventure was, with weather effects, tons of levels, and brand new power-ups! Another one of the best hacks I found is called Super Mario World 1: The Twelve Magical Orbs. As far as SMW hacks go, the level design isn't the greatest, but it has 9 different power-ups (including FLUDD) and every stage has its own unique music. And the music is phenomenal! While in the past I never would have even considered playing a hack, I've become more open to the idea. Sure, they're no official games, but they still can be fun. SMB2 was an official hack after all, and that's become one of my favorite games of all time. Super Mario Maker now lets us customize Mario games whenever we want. What are some Mario hacks/homebrews you would recommend? Link to comment
Eliwoodman12 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Never played through the fan made Mario games. I may have at some point on flash player but it was only for a few minutes. Couldn't even tell you the games. It was a great experience getting Mario Maker though. I don't have the patience to throughly make a level, but I did enjoy seeing other people's creative ideas come into fruition. Link to comment
The Ultimate Mario Fan Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 I was going to talk about Kart Fighter in this thread but decided to gauge the response first. Now, AVGN decided to make a video on it. It's a pretty interesting game as far as unofficial hacks go, given that it predates Smash Bros. (The music is AWFUL though.) Link to comment
The Ultimate Mario Fan Posted April 22, 2018 Author Share Posted April 22, 2018 Apparently someone somehow found a way to insert Mario into Ocarina of Time! Finally, an excuse to actually play Zelda? I'm in! Link to comment
