Description:
The aim of the project is to modernize the look of classic Super Mario Bros while remaining within the limits of the original programming and ROM size. There are no ASM hacks and no expanding the ROM–and no mapper! Just brand new pixel art (and a few things borrowed from later Mario games), palette edits, and metatile rearrangement. You can enjoy the original game with a fresh coat of paint, or try combining it with map or gameplay hacks that don't change the graphics too much!
First released on IRC and message boards in 1997 and later published on Zophar's Domain in 1999, this graphical facelift project has been celebrating 25 years! Super Mario Bros DX has evolved a lot since its early days of shading some background elements and porting sprites from Super Mario Bros 3, so come see what's new! Lots of bonus content has been added since 2022 and there is still more to come! But we are nearing the 25th anniversary of the project's 1.1 release in 1999, and thus nearing the end of the Anniversary Edition updates.
- v4.5 UPDATE: Just in time for the new year! This update includes:
- An entire library of add-on patches to customize the look of your game!
- Updates to the "Aesthetic Edition" vaporwave styled patch, with music by Amilgi!
- A brand new patch for compatibility with the 50Hz PAL ROM.
- A fresh focus on clean, unified visuals.
- Major refinements to the Bowser sprite.
