How to Patch
|
|
|
|
Depending on the version of the SMB3 rom you have, you'll have to use a different patch.
|
|
Mario_Adventure_0.ips is for the SMB3 rom Super Mario Bros. 3 (PRG 0) U.nes rom file name.
|
|
Mario_Adventure_1.ips is for the SMB3 rom Super Mario Bros. 3 (PRG 1) U.nes rom file name.
|
|
|
|
They are not the same, so if one doesn't work, try the other, if that doesn't work, get a
|
|
new rom.
|
|
|
|
This hack should work with most major emulators, including Nesticle (though if you
|
|
use Nesticle, you may want to use save states, since the SRAM isn't supported for SMB3 in
|
|
Nesticle). I recommend using FCEU.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Palette
|
|
|
|
If your emulator supports palette files, use the included palette file called
|
|
Mario_Adventure.pal. It is fx3's palette file, but I renamed it since some emulators
|
|
support file name palette association. If you do not use FX3's palette, the game will NOT
|
|
look the same. So take 3 seconds out of your life and load that palette (included) with my hack
|
|
to get the full enjoyment.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Central Hub and the Worlds:
|
|
|
|
The Central Hub is the Warp Zone. From here Mario can access any world 1 through 7. Beating a world only requires Mario
|
|
beat the Koopa Kid of that world. Once Mario beats a world, a small box on the lower right will have a check mark
|
|
in the proper world box (1-7, going left to right). Mario can play any world at any time. To leave a world, either beat
|
|
it or reset the game. After complete a world, Mario can re-enter it from the Warp Zone and skip over the levels
|
|
freely move simply moving over them. Not only can Mario re-enter worlds, but he can else re-enter beaten levels in
|
|
the current world. However, if you reset your game mid-world, you WILL have to replay all the levels again! Only
|
|
completing a world will allow Mario to skip levels.
|
|
|
|
It's also rumored that something happens when you complete all the worlds and unlock all the locks!
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Saving:
|
|
|
|
The game will save some of your progress as you go along. The game saves the following statuses:
|
|
|
|
Coins
|
|
Score
|
|
Time
|
|
All Items
|
|
Item Box
|
|
Kuribo Shoe Storage
|
|
Worlds Completed
|
|
Keys Gotten
|
|
Locks Unlocked
|
|
|
|
This will save as part of the battery back up, thus, if you want to play fair, you don't have to use save states.
|
|
|

|
|
Erasing A Game
|
|
|
|
At the title screen, when Press Start appears, press [Up] + [Select] to bring the erase game prompt.
|
|
Pressing [A] will erase the game, pressing [B] will cancel it.
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Keys
|
|
|
|
Each world has 1 hidden key in it. Mario must travel from level to level completing each and keeping an eye for
|
|
any odd areas that might be a potential door way to a key! If Mario can't find it, he can always go back later
|
|
on after receiving a clue after defeating the Koopa Kids. There are keys, there are locks on the Warp Zone.
|
|
Coincidence? I think not!
|
|
|
|
|
|
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Coins
|
|
|
|
As normally expected, Mario can collect coins through out levels. However, these coins do not give extra lives.
|
|
Instead, Mario might want to take them to the local Mushroom Houses to spend! He may walk out with something good
|
|
or something bad! Try searching for hidden golden mushrooms for a quick coin bonus! Mario's pockets can
|
|
only hold 9999 coins.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Items
|
|
|
|
Mario has a plethora of new items at his disposal! The Spade and Heart power-ups can give twice the advantage
|
|
where else the coin power-up can make the Mushroom coin currancy rate sky rocket! The Warp whistle used to take you
|
|
to the Warp Zone, but what does it do now? Just try it and find out for yourself! Every world has something to
|
|
offer for the Warp Whistle!
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Power Ups
|
|
|
|
Mario has a few new power ups for this adventure, namely the newest ones are the following:
|
|
|
|
Fire Fire Mario:
|
|
Fire Fire Mario is just like Fire Mario, except he throws straight fireballs that can go through walls and
|
|
he can jump higher!
|
|
|
|
Invisible Mario:
|
|
From the Mario 64 era, Invisible Mario can temporarily go behind any background on a level. Pressing [Down] + [B]
|
|
activates his power for a limited time. While behind a background, Mario is almost invulnerable to attack. On
|
|
the plus side, Invisible Mario can stomp many more enemies with this power up!
|
|
|
|
Magic Mario:
|
|
Magic Mario is one tough cookie! He can take a punch three times before he's down! He throws magic stars
|
|
that are quite powerful and he can stomp a lot of enemies down!
|
|
|
|
Kuribo's Mario:
|
|
Not a new power up, but now Mario can use the shoe in any level and in any situation! Beating a level doesn't
|
|
steal the shoe away, looks like Mario better grow some bigger feet!
|
|
|
|

|
New Controls
|
|
|
|
A few new controls must be talked about before you're on you're adventure!
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Item Box
|
|
|
|
The Item Box returns from SMW. Grabbing two items in a row will store the previous one into the item box.
|
|
Pressing [Select] will switch out your current power up with the one in your box. You can't store your
|
|
current power up into the box if the box is already empty.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Kuribo's Storage
|
|
|
|
Kuribo's shoe can't swim, so if Mario must get rid of it for any reason, he can do so by pressing
|
|
[Up] + [B] at the SAME time. The timing must be right! If successful, a K will appear on the status bar on the
|
|
mid-left area. Pessing [Up] + [B] again at the SAME time will retrieve any stored shoe. You can have two
|
|
shoes at once this method, so if the shoe you have won't store, be sure there isn't one already in storage!
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Cheat Codes
|
|
|
|
That's right! Mario can cheat if he wants! But there are no cheat codes available at the moment except for one!
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
Sound Test
|
|
|
|
To access the sound test, at the title screen where it says Press Start press the following:
|
|
|
|
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Select
|
|
|
|
Press Left or Right to change track an A to play the track.

FAQ (SPOILERS HERE!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. I can't find the way out of this level!
|
|
|
|
Try searchin again, or collecting many coins.
|
|
|
|
2. How come the exit doesn't appear in the level that requires you to get coins?
|
|
|
|
Move around the level a bit, make sure the screen scrolls because if you get the last coin
|
|
on the same screen the door is suppose to appear, it won't show up, moving off the screen to a different
|
|
part of a level and back will make it appear.
|
|
|
|
3. How come my last item went away?
|
|
|
|
If you have a full inventory, grabbing items will erase your last item. So if your last item is a key, DO
|
|
NOT GET ANOTHER ITEM. Keys cannot be gotten twice!
|
|
|
|
4. Why does it rain/snow?
|
|
|
|
That is randomly determined part of the game. It adds more variety and keeps you on your toes and is
|
|
a neat effect!
|
|
|
|
5. What if I find a bug?
|
|
|
|
Unless it actually affects game play in a bad way, don't report it (i.e. don't report graphical problems).
|
|
|
|
6. Can I have some of the hacks in Mario Adventure for my hack?
|
|
|
|
Nope, sorry.
|
|
|
|
7. Are you going to work on Mario Seasons anymore?
|
|
|
|
For the moment, no. I may pick it back up later. |
