Hack description

This hack changes Balloon Fight into a Mario-themed game.
Players are replaced by Mario and Luigi and enemies are
turned into koopa troopas. Almost every palette in the game
have been changed in order to make it a bit more brighter
and "friendlier" compared to the strange space themed
original. A few bonus lives were added to make it feel
a bit more casual in difficulty.

One of the worst things with the original was the annoying
high pitched noise that the enemies made. This has been
changed to a more neutral and less stressful sound
for a much improved playing experience.

This is a cool and fun hack for an already fun game. In fact, it looks graphically better than the original and fits in with Mario doing just about EVERYTHING. Although I would like to see the fish replaced with Boss Bass, the Koopa Troopas work very well.
