“Mario…how did he become super big??”
A game known as “the most destructive modified game in the history of Famicom” has quietly appeared. It is a fan Hack version called “Mega Giant Mario Bros.”, which has made extremely outrageous magical changes based on the classic “Super Mario Bros.”. The Mario controlled by the player has been enlarged four times. Everywhere he goes, there is no grass, and even the bricks are unbearable to touch!
This fan work adds a new gameplay – players can hold down the down button during the jump, and they can also crush the floor under their feet. The whole game is simply a meeting of destruction. The latest version further adds a vibration screen effect, and corrects the bug that the lifting platform will cross the terrain, ruining the experience before upgrading!
What’s interesting is that this work is actually packaged in a realistic way, and even has official-style color instructions, character cards, and box designs, which once made people mistakenly think that this is really a mysterious replica launched by Nintendo. The production level of the high imitation is staggering, even the warning label on the back of the card box is not missed.
What’s really shocking, though, is the game content itself.
As soon as the game opens, Mario is already in a super giant state, as if transplanted from Mega Mario in “New Super Mario Bros.”, sweeping the enemies and scenes in front of him. Whether it was bricks, question mark bricks, stairs, flagpoles, or even Bowser himself, they all became sacrifices at his feet. Even the underground water barrier is not difficult, just knock down the iron bars with one kick!
But this is not purely a game of destruction. The developers have also given Mega Mario more mechanical challenges – you can’t enter the water pipe, you can’t get props, you can’t enter the sky bonus level, you can’t even get 1-UP. To get to the end, you have to rely on operation and judgment, not just brute force.
The end of the game makes people reflect even more humorously: What is left in the Mushroom Kingdom that has been trampled to pieces along the way? Although Peach was rescued, she probably didn’t know that her kingdom had been reduced to scorched earth by Mario, hahaha!
However, the technical capabilities of this Hack are still impressive. Under the limitations of 8-bit hardware, the producers were able to achieve this kind of interaction between super-large character images and scenes. Players may feel a little tired at the end of the game, but the “giant Mario + total destruction” alone is enough to leave a legendary name in the world of Mario modifications.
It is said that in the next update, Mario will sweep across 256 worlds – please continue to pay attention to subsequent developments!
