Incredible. That hack seems like it is actually better than the original SMB3. I will definitely try it some day.

In reply to Wig Fitzpatrick. Funny, this game hack is from 2004, as the label actually says, and Adventure Time started in 2010. Maybe it's just the reproduction cart that is recent.

I think that randomness is cool. Gives it more replay value I think..

Checkpoint’s aren’t an issue, multiple checkpoints are. Super Mario Bros, Super Mario Bros 2, Super Mario Bros USA, Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World and god knows what other classic NES/SNES Mario games all had at least one check point in the levels.

Checkpoints for the New Super Mario Brothers games are a must due to how long the levels are. Play any level in NSMB U and then play any level in SMB3. The ladder is extremely short, I’d even say 1/4 the average level length of NSMB U.

Two things about this hack…

It was designed on an emulator that used a lighter color palette than the real thing, so when the colors are shown on a more accurate emulator or hardware, they are way too dark.

It was designed for emulators which did not properly emulate the MMC3’s IRQ counter. So the game does things that normal games would never do, such as use background graphics directly as sprites, which is a no-no on the MMC3. This causes the IRQ counter to be ticked more times than it should be, and the status bar triggers earlier in the frame than normal. Net result is the status bar appearing about 32 pixels higher than normal.
