Mario Adventure 3 (Release Date: September 21)(Out Now!)

Super Mario Bros. 3HackWork in Progress

What is Mario Adventure 3? The fully realize sequel to Mario Adventure, the classic Super Mario Bros. 3 rom hack from 2006. Yes, I am the original creator also known as DahrkDaiz, so be prepared for another NES Mario game that goes beyond anything you've ever seen before.

Premise
This hack is built off the SMB3 disassembly created by southbird3. The game has been HEAVILY modified including:
-Optimized collision engine
-Brand new level format
-All enemies rebuilt from the ground up including many, MANY custom enemies and objects
-Expanded level data
-Essentially, roughly 75% of the game has been rewritten from the ground up

Major Features
-7 brand new worlds
-New moves including kicking shells up and dropping them
-Many new power-ups, including Ice Flower, Ninja Mushroom and Koopa Shell Suit
-Many new enemies such as Ice Bros, Piranha Vines, Para Chain Chomps, Polter Guys, Spintula and many more!
-All new boss battles. No Boom-booms. No Koopa Kids.
-New item system! Purchase items at the Item Emporium and use the items within the levels
-New badge system! Collect cherries and use them to equip badges for passive abilities
-New XP system! Instead of a score, earn XP by defeating enemies in various ways. Gaining enough XP allows you to attempt to gain new abilities.
-New day/night system! Days switch to nights and vice versa in real time in a level. Enemy behaviors will alter slightly based off the time of day.
-New Mario states. Get frozen, covered in oil and even egg yolk O_O.
-P-Meter is now used by multiple power-ups to denote ability times. This can lengthened with badges.
-No more lives.
-Pushing the NES beyond its limits, see up to 28 colors on screen at the same time! The status bar has its own colors separate from the level's palette.
-Full save system. Completed levels are saved and you can even revisit worlds.
-Collect 3 hidden stars in most levels. You'll need to collect enough to gain access to the boss stages.
-Tons of new game elements including frozen water, weather effects, wind, springs, rhythm keeping, SMB2 style mushroom blocks, and SO, MUCH MORE!

Stop teasing me, when can I get it?
The planned release date is September 21, 2024!

YAY!!!!! #tb{:D}
looks like this game has recently gotten several bug fix releases that resolve some soft locks along with fixing some graphical glitches, along with tweaked level layouts found in the original 9/21 release - see the Mario Adventure 3 Versions page on getting the latest version as the original 1.0 release from Sept. 21 is no longer available there.

I'm gonna wait a few more days until around either Sept. 26 or Sept. 27 to download the latest version


edit late night 9/24
as of Sept. 27 a v1.5.1 release of the game is available which seems to be a "major" update.

I have already completed 5 worlds.

but I recently submitted a bug report regarding an unplayable/unbeatable level in the desert world (it was called "Light Dark Level Duality"). I had no other choice but to abort or "exit" prematurely as I could not proceed any further in that level.

therefore I'm anticipating some more new bug fix releases coming
versions 1.9.x of the game are again "major" updates (as of 10/7 latest release is 1.9.6) with a slight change with the title screen which now says "Mario Adventure 3 - Mushroom Mayhem" and with autosave permanently turned on with no option of disabling it. Casual mode, which was added since the v1.3.0 release, has been removed in recent versions and replaced with an Options menu and includes more bug fixes & tweaked/adjusted level designs in several levels

edit 10/7 - I've completed the normal quest and will be starting the 2nd quest or "master quest" of this game later tonight
edit 2nd time 10/8 - recently submitted another new bug report regarding the very first level, the (tutorial) level - Beginning Basics missing a malice mushroom in the master quest or hard mode in the 1.9.0/1.9.3/1.9.5/1.9.6 versions (somehow it was inadvertently removed in the 2nd quest in those 1.9.x versions when it was there in both normal & master quests in the 1.6.8 & older versions of that level - hopefully that will be fixed in the 1.9.7 & future releases)
