Mario World is a hack of Devil World, an NES black box series game never released in America. As the title suggests, Mario World changes the graphics to be Mario themed. Mario replaces The Devil and he controls the moving playfield. You (and optionally a second player) take control of a Goomba and must take over Mario's World. Grab an Ice Flower, defeat any Shy Guys, Toads or Luigis that stand in your way and get ready for a long lost Miyamoto classic.

Nice!

Looks pretty awesome.

Shouldn't the shyguys and goombas be working together . Maybe the shyguys running around the map should be toads. Just a thought.

Well, I could swap around the Shy Guys and Toads, but that'd be a lot of work and I'd probably run into palette limitations. The hack looks the way it does largely because of limitations.

I love the shy guys lol

Yoshi might be another option. Regardless it looks really cool looking forward to giving it a try.

Yoshi would be practically impossible to implement for two reasons. One, all the playfield characters are only 2x2 tiles big, or 16px by 16px (whereas Yoshi is twice that size in his widely animated incarnations, meaning ugly sprites probably).

Two, the palettes. Devil World is really strict with them without being able to hack sprites to use different palettes, which is currently beyond my understanding. For example, Mario, Toad and the Ice Flower all share one palette. Goomba Player 2, Luigi, the bonus round eggs and the ! boxes share another palette.

Mario World is pretty much complete, but I do appreciate suggestions and critiques. Maybe if all goes well and if there's any demand, I'll share some copies here on NA.

Any word on a patch release?

This looks awesome!

I'll release it later on, not quite done with it yet.

Clever hack, it looks really good. Well done!

EVerything about modding a NES game graphics with Mario its fantastic.

Awesome job there! Pretty cool idea too. Something NOA would probably would have loved back in the day. If Devil World where to be localized, this would be the way to do it imo!

Devil World was my second repro (first successful one - I had to go back and fix my first repro... which was just Friday the 13th using Friday the 13th as a donor). Since this was the first time I had made a working game on my own I felt like a god damned wizard and am so pumped to play this!
