Description:
Update: 1.0~rc1 - Offical Release Candidate
This release (1.0~rc1) is the first official release candidate of the Super Mario Bros. Special for NES port. SMBS is a SMB based game licensed by Nintendo and created by Hudson Soft for the Japanese PC8801 computer. It was later ported to the Sharp X1, as well as the Korean Samsung SPC-1500 computer. However, beyond these (now) obscure platforms, it was largely ignored and forgotten until suddenly becoming a cult hit in the emulation scene.
The game became notorious for it’s fiendish difficulty and it’s (unusual for a Mario game) use of single screens rather than smooth scrolling. The suggestion was made to give the game a facelift and expose it to a wider audience by porting it to the NES. This is the result of that effort.
An update of the hack with new enemies, power ups, enhanced palettes and more is available here.

I would recommend the "X1" version over this one
Reviewed By: Burningtrash4heat on 08 Feb 2020There’s nothing wrong with this hack and you may prefer it over the X1 version, which has an appropriately-garish PC-88 style color palette and lots of dithering. X1 makes some other minor gameplay tweaks to get a little closer to the source material.
Version 1.0~rc1 Recommended - Yes
