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.

The focus of this hack is entirely on level design - can you make every item, enemy, and coin placement meaningful? Difficulty is somewhere around a step up from Lost Levels, verging on kaizo-y with some of the tricks towards the end. Save-states shouldn't be necessary, but it gets pretty tough around world 5, so expect a few game-overs. Remember that you can hold A while pressing Start on the title screen after you game-over to retry from that world.

Features:[list]
[li]Complete hack - all 32 levels remade[/li]
[li]Challenging without being too difficult[/li]
[li]Unique level themes and gimmicks[/li]
[li]Reasonable 1up placement so you don't have to spam load-state[/li]
[/list]

Very minor language warning at the end, but you may find it's well deserved - if you can make it there, that is. Good luck!

Version 1.1 update:[list]
[li]Some levels changed slightly[/li]
[li]Hidden 1ups added to each -1 stage (no coins required from a previous -3 stage)[/li]

Lore for nerds: The Princess is tired of Mario simping on her, so she flees through a series of increasingly difficult worlds to escape him.
