Super Mario Bros. 3Mix

released on May 30, 2014

Super Mario Bros. 3Mix is a large-scale hack that changes and adds lots of features to Super Mario Bros. 3, and pays homage to many past and (relative) FUTURE Mario titles, while attempting to remain faithful in spirit to the look and feel of Super Mario Bros. 3: - All new levels (and a few “remixed” Mario 3 levels somewhere in there) - Many new songs added from other Mario games (kept some SMB3 classics!) - Play as Mario, Luigi, or Toad (cosmetic only) in any configuration - New power-ups (Penguin replaces Frog, Carrot replaces Tanooki) - Star Coins (which are used to unlock portions of the game) - Ability to re-enter past worlds (with level completion intact) - Ability to re-enter past levels (to get all of your Star Coins) - Alternate exits in some levels - Ability to save progress - Many new enemies, typically some special ones for the world theme - All new bosses (many are “remixes” of bosses from other Mario games) - All kinds of gameplay changes to meet the theme of a level/world

Rareware levels of programming prowess and level design. 100%ing it is so much fun, too.

best mario romhack period i love how it had parts of all mario games in it.

Feels less like a Romhack and more like a completely original game with Mario 3's Engine as a base. I have alot of respect for that. The game is honestly better than most official 2D Mario Games so give it a try!

Imagine New Super Mario Bros. but made in the Super Mario Bros. 3 engine and conceptualized as a celebration of the entire Super Mario series, including the some of the oft-maligned entries like Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA) and Super Paper Mario. It's one of the most impressive ROM hacks I've ever played, and I mean that sincerely.

I'm only putting it down because I tried to play it on an Analogue Pocket (an original hardware facsimile), and boy does the new stuff in this game bring that device to its knees sometimes. Absolutely worth checking out if you haven't already, but consider doing so on a software emulator.

While I did like this game overall, I can't help but be disappointed by its uninteresting level design and lack of polish.
