Super Mario Bros. is a platforming game for the Nintendo Entertainment System released in 1985. When Bowser invades the Mushroom Kingdom, it's up to Mario to stop him and save the Princess.

SMB 1 Scoring Hack, intended for use with score attack runs. Changes some of the ways scoring works in the game, to remove exploits that allow easy points and limit the number of extra lives players receive.

Features:

-Kicking a shell starts the ShellChainCounter two steps lower than it does normally - instead of starting at 500 points, it starts at 200 and must defeat two extra enemies to reach 500, then progression is normal
-Kicking a shell no longer allows players to attain a 1-up - instead it will add 8000 points for every kill after the first 8k kill
-1-up mushrooms no longer give lives - instead they add 8000 points when collected
-Players only receive 10 points per timer tick left at the end of level, instead of 50
-The highest tier of the flagpole only gives 4000 bonus points
-Bowser gives 8000 points if fire-killed
-The Koopa Troopas at the end of 3-1 are replaced with Goombas
