| Even better than Asaki's color restoration, must-have hack | saulfabreg | 2022-01-28 | Version 1.2 |
This is a must-have hack for all lovers of Super Mario Advance! It's just better and better, rather than Asaki's "color restoration" of SMA. I see it's very complete than the old one, and also compatible with the most common ROM of Super Mario Advance i find and play. Thanks a lot for this!! - saulfabreg | |||
| Incredible hack, must try out | SuperStarFox | 2022-01-22 | Version 1.2 |
This hack makes this into a proper port of Super Mario Bros. 2 on the Game Boy Advance. All of the bright colors are changed to resemble the SNES All Stars game and changed Mario, Luigi, Toad, and Princess Peach look far more accurate. The Mario Bros. game also had its colors tweaked to look exactly more like a 16 bit port of the original arcade game. Although the "Choose A Game" text has some tiny white lines left over, but that isn't too much to fix a little. The bosses and enemies have the same colors from the SNES port while some new bosses were given a new color design to look less bright. This is totally worth a try, you can also play it along with the music pitch correction to get the most enjoyable experience that Nintendo never actually thought of before. | |||
| Very Faithful to the original remaster of the original game | Johnny008 | 2021-12-23 | Version 1.0 |
The bright colors were really great back in 2001 when you played it on original hardware but nowadays it looks not necessarily horrible but too bright in terms of playing it on a emulator. Glad this hack exists. | |||
| Excellent Restoration | NelsonPalacios2001 | 2021-12-23 | Version 1.0 |
To tell the truth the original color range was very bright because the first model of gba ags-001 did not have backlight making the screen look like off, but from the sp model and even the ags-101 model if it had backlighting and that is evident the range of bright colors in the following models of this game. But this patch restores the range of colors as standard as possible and make it more faithful to that of super mario bros. 2 of the super mario all-stars of snes. | |||
