I've been working on this one in the background off and on for quite a while, and it's finally ready for a demo release. What is it, you ask?
And what on earth could this be?
And this?
It's one of the first ever Metroidvania Mario hacks, complete with:
- Working save system
- Respects save slots
- Works properly for erasing slots
- Saves location, lives, powerup, coins and switch palaces
- Metroid-style permanent powerups, in the form of coins you collect
- Saves to SRAM
- And last but not least, a whole new world with branching paths and varied environments!

Now with video!
The demo contains three environments (grassland, caverns and desert), the Yellow Switch Cave, and the first poweup coin (plus a little something extra at the end, if you can figure it out!) and can be downloaded here!
Credit to Icegoom for the NSMB base, of course, and anyone else I can't remember; full credits will of course be listed in the final version, assuming the project does in fact run to completion.
Also note: I'm looking to make this somewhat of a team hack at some point, since I very much doubt I'll ever be able to finish this on my own.
Enjoy!
P.S. If you figure out what to do with that number, hold down and press A in midair.
