Description:
Rohrleitung Gate is a Steins;Gate inspired SMB1 hack. Unlike most other SMB1 hacks, it's a puzzle solving game, and requires quite some understanding to the SMB mechanics to beat. Savestates are recommended for this hack.
With 2-way scrolling within 2 pages and the mechanics of koopa shells breaking bricks and revealing hidden coin blocks, the game was made ideal for puzzle-solving stages, and these mechanics were exploited to the full extent. And there's more.
Technical-wise, this hack also has custom background (by metatile), parallax scrolling, VRC7 music, and a great amount of bugfixes to the original engine (wall jumps, going through walls etc). This is probably the 2nd most technically advanced SMB1 hack that has been released. Some enhancements are very underdeveloped, but as experiments, these enhancements paved the way for the author's later hacks.
