Hack description

Mario goes puzzle platformer! A hack which requires tricky jumps but not totally glitch abusing skills to pass. You have to figure out the sequence of the rooms, rescue the princess and find all 9 floors.

This hack is based on a project started by w7n. The abandoned hack featured 3 levels and the finished hack features new graphics, altered game mechanics, different music and a total of 25 levels.

PATCHING INFORMATION:
This hack comes in four variations.

- Mario's Keep 1.3
- Mario's Keep 1.3 - NO MUSIC

- Mario's Keep 1.21
- Mario's Keep 1.21 - NO MUSIC

The version without music does contain sound effects and works perfect if you prefer to play games with your favorite music in the background. Choose one of the IPS files to patch Super Mario Bros. (W) [!] -- use Lunar IPS or MultiPatch to patch.

HINT: Sometimes you might need to take a hit. It's not always good to be big.

Puzzle in Mario? Interesting idea	diablo666	2020-03-27	Version 1.2
(Strange, not one review. Hmm...) How do I create a good hack based on an original idea? here's how. Make something out of it - who hasn't done it yet. There are many levels that will make your brain work. And that's good. After all, to train the mind-you will need not only perseverance, But also logic. However, a couple of levels enraged that I want to not scream. There is a point where you need a very precise jump-otherwise you will break the block and you will not go further. You're doing something wrong. And there is another point. You must quickly reach the pipe by breaking the wall. The problem is that the wall is further away, and the height to jump to avoid the fire is too low... And so, it is playable, interesting, recommended. I hope the author will listen (read) the wish.
