The first romhack for Smb is a hack that pushes the limits graphically, it’s called “Super Mario Bros. DX” released by flamepanther. This hack enhances the graphics of the original game with some detailed sprites and more vibrant colors. It borrows graphics from Smb3 and Super Mario All-Stars mixed with some new original sprites. All this mashed together makes this a very beautiful hack!
But one of the best parts is that you can apply this patch with other Smb patches. If you check the readme that flamepanther included he recommends some really nice small upgrades. Like this hack that simulates the jumping physics of Smb3 or this “Fire Mario to Big Mario when hit” hack that i really like. You can try out some other hacks to combine with “Super Mario Bros. DX” to update the graphics.
Thats it for this time! My aim is to try to cover more systems in the future but romhacking for the Nes is just so popular and there are so many great games so all you Nes fans out there will see more great romhacks soon in the Romhacking Spotlight!
