The aptly-named Pokemon Red/Blue Color Hack gives you what it says on the tin: fully colorized versions of Pokemon Red and Blue.

Some may be aware that, in fact, Pokemon Red and Blue did have some color when played on a Super Gameboy. However, the Super Gameboy’s colorization capability was extremely limited, being unable to assign separate colors to the background and sprite layers, among other limitations. This hack, targeting the Gameboy Color, does not have these limitations. As you can see in the screenshots, this colorization is akin to the gen 2 games.

This hack also optionally replaces the pokemon sprites with gen 2 equivalents, since some of the gen 1 spritework was… questionable. The battle UI has also been ported from the gen 2 games. However, the patch is available in a “vanilla” variant for those who prefer the original spritework and battle UI.

Previous versions of this hack were plagued by graphical corruption bugs. After much headbanging and many headaches, these bugs have been fixed. It has been tested extensively on a real gameboy, and the bugs have not resurfaced. However, it must be noted that the VBA emulator has issues with this hack. VBA-M works, though, as do the more accurate emulators such as BGB.

Hello there!

Super Mario Bros. 3: The Forgotten Worlds is now 100% tested and fixed. As a bonus, a poster has been attached, where you can read the fully worked out and improved plot.

As for those, who has downloaded and played this game, once again, sorry for having 4 worlds in the game. The SMB2J clone hack patch allowed only 4 worlds regularly and the idea/plan was 4 worlds originally, too.

Spoof

• 007 - You Only Live 2wice (Super Mario Bros.)(NES)

Are you a fan of old 007 movies and retro gaming?

‘007 - You Only Live 2wice’ is a spoof of SMB1 offering a difficult challenge and complete re-imagining of an old classic. This ROM hack features new fireball mechanics (thanks Teeporage777), unique puzzles, and secrets.

• Included in the download is a ‘Mission Briefing’ with extra challenges for the veteran Mario player (e.g., Can you beat level 3/4 without letting go of RIGHT on the DPAD?).

• Also included is an optional ‘Easy Mode’ which plays slower than the original to allow new players an easier way to master each level.

Be the first to jump down a pipe–at your own calculated risk–and enjoy this iteration of SMB1!

And you thought “Christmas only comes once a year…”

A modification to Pokemon Emerald Version that inverses type match-ups similar to the Inverse battle mode from Pokemon X and Y, and Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire.
