Unofficial Super Mario Bros. Maker Launches for SNES

A ROM hacker known as Infidelity has recently released an unofficial Super Mario Bros. Maker for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES). Here are the key details about this project:

Project Overview

  • It’s a port of the original Super Mario Bros. from NES to SNES, with an added level editor feature.
  • The project includes two versions: a straight NES-to-SNES port and an alternative version with the level editor called “Super Mario Bros. Maker”

Level Editor Features

  • Players can access the editor by pressing X when starting a new game
  • It allows editing of 16×16 blocks that appear at the top of the screen
  • The editor can be controlled using either an SNES controller in port 1 or an SNES mouse in port 2

Development History

  • The idea originated in 2019/2020 as a potential NES ROM hack
  • Infidelity revisited the concept from July to August 2024, incorporating it into his latest NES-to-SNES port

Current Limitations and Future Plans

  • The current version doesn’t allow editing of enemy sprites, but this feature is planned for a future update
