Hack description

Mario's just an everyday salary man, and now's the time to prove yourself! Bowser has kidnapped
your boss, and it's up to you to rescue him! Do a good enough job, and you might just get a
bonus for your trouble!

There are 4 worlds that are immediately selectable from the title screen. There are coins
scattered throughout the stages, and when you collect 20 you gain brief invincibility. A new
powerup has been added, as well as custom music and enemies/hazards. You don't immediately go
to Small Mario upon getting hit as Fire Mario, and there's auto scrolling stages as well.

Very polished and challengingChrisRemixLongplays2024-05-25Version 1.0

As usual with Polaria Poyon, you get a polished and challenging hack that's a lot of fun to play, enough new graphics and gameplay elements to make it stand apart from the original SMB without going overboard, and some devious final levels.

I really recommend you try this one.

A cool hackdamirium2023-05-14Version 1.0

A very cool hack that has a bit of something for everyone. Nice graphics. But I didn't understand the gimmick in 3-4. I know about the floaty physics before you jump, bit it still didn't seem enough to cross that pit... I'm probably missing something. World 4 was ruthless, especially 4-3 and 4-4, those phanto firebars are insanely tough, they remind me of those old Japanese crazy unbeatable hacks such as Love and Guilty and similar. But the cool thing about this hack is you don't have to play those levels if you don't want to. It's like 4 small Mario games in one. So I'd say this is a very solid Mario 1 hack, worth your time if you like such things.
