About this project

This is a hack of Super Mario Land version 1.1 for gameboy. I started making this after playing Frank15's enemy rearrangement hack. I thought it was great but I thought it needed more. So I started touching up the graphics and stuff. Then I wound up getting the idea of colorizing it. I held that off till I finished making the graphics. I made sure to leave no graphic untouched. Anyhow I had downloaded a 2.4 colorizer long ago and used it to colorize this. There was some problems that all people who have colorized this expereinced. Luckily Parasyte offered to lend me a hand and fixed a problem I was having with the status bar. After the colorization I altered a few more sprites then released it. About a year later a friend (Ugetab) offered to help me further on my hack and fixed the remaining issues I have. And so now you have this version. I believe this will be the final version.

Features of this hack:

  • Rearranged enemies.
  • Improved graphics.
  • Black and white and a special color version.

For a colorization of the game with fewer changes to the levels that also works on more emulators and real hardware see THIS hack.

Apply these to the 1.1 version of Super Mario Land.

The black and white version is the most playable. It has improved graphics, rearranged enemies, and no glitches. I have also included a colorized version. There is some problems with it. I would reccomend trying it at least once cause it is pretty awesome to see Mario Land in colors. I colorized it using GBcolorizer version 4. Below are some of the problems you will come across with the colorized version.



New to color version 3.0
- Level 3 obstacles has now been made passable.
- Music is now corrected.
-All other issues in the previous version remain, but none of them are too bad. I have also found that the final boss can be beaten. So long as you do not shoot him right away. Wait for him to attack then start your shooting.

Problems with color version 2.0:
-Level 3 has some parts that are unpassable without use of a gameshark code to become invincible.
-Some graphics could not be colored correctly so they were redrawn and colored to black and white colors.
-You can stomp Bullet Bill launchers like little goombas.
-Some Projectiles can be destroyed.
-Messed up music. It is recommended you leave the music off while you play.
-You cannot defeat the final boss.
