Hack description

This is a hack of Super Mario Bros. featuring Dr. Mario and his adventures against the viruses! This hack was aimed towards building onto the story of Dr. Mario while utilizing the platformer-style of gameplay from SMB1. The goal is to create a nostalgic experience while maintaining the integrity of the original Dr. Mario game. Because of the Dev team's strict adherence to the style and limitations of the 8-bit era, gameplay should feel as if it's the long lost game Nintendo never got around to releasing.

This Hack Features:
-New Level Design
-New Character Design
-New Storyline
-New Music

All based on the original Dr. Mario
There's secrets and alternative routes to discover!

Strange, but interestingdiablo6662022-10-16Version 1.0

The graphic hack looks strange. Coins are pluses. It seems to me it would be better to add a "box", they say it collects medicaments by level for treatment. Enemies and boss are viruses, and the plant is a syringe. Scissors were much more appropriate instead of a plant.

Logically, viruses, if they are touched, should poison Mario, i.e. make him smaller in size. (but this disadvantage does not apply to all enemies)

Level Design is pretty good.

The music is taken from the game Dr.Mario. In some places, it doesn't sound right.

But, honestly, to evaluate the hack by playability - it is made qualitatively and interestingly. This was able to do smoothly increasing complexity and does not overdo it with enemies or pits. This is a plus.

Graphically, musically - strange, but Level Design saves. And it's a pleasure to play, so I can recommend this strange miracle
