What would Super Mario Bros. look like on the Sega Genesis?

by David Hinkle { Feb 28th 2008 at 12:00PM }

We've been loving these fake Super Mario videos that have become all the rage with the kids on the net. It's like someone was reading our diary, reaching into our brain and sifting through the garbled mess of fanboyish dreams that we think about on a daily basis. It may be kind of violating to have someone so accurately recreate our inner-most desires, but it's a small price to pay for the minutes of joy we got out of the video above.

i'm glad this came out on snes, not genesis.

saylorsgang @ Feb 28th 2008 12:14PM

I would buy that, looked more fun than the original, I doubt it will be on the VC anytime soon.

Mega Drive/Genesis>>>>Snes.

This video is somewhat awesome.

chip & dale?

Jonathan Tran @ Feb 28th 2008 12:26PM

I don't get know why the gameplay is so different. After all, Sonic is about running and jumping on people.

See below comment, it's a graphically edited version of a pre-existing Genesis game.

mgroves @ Feb 28th 2008 12:30PM

This is an actual game for Genesis. I believe it's a hacked version of Chip & Dale.

Cory Anotado @ Feb 28th 2008 1:19PM

I heard Speedy Gonzales. It's something cartoony.

mgroves @ Feb 28th 2008 1:41PM

Turns out we're both wrong, it's "Squirrel King" (it's on YouTube). To me, it looks like a Chip & Dale game that might have been created on spec, not bought by Disney, and released as "Squirrel King" instead. But that's just speculation on my part...

@ Cory:

You're thinking of the pirated Sonic game on the SNES. It was an edited Speedy Gonzales.

jman @ Feb 28th 2008 12:32PM

I remember playing that ROM. Like five years ago or something. It's pretty old. >_>

DaiMac79 @ Feb 28th 2008 1:04PM

I actually have a pirated Chinese cart of this game..trust me it sucks. One thing, there is far more extensive use of Kuribo's Shoe or whatever in this than there was in SMB3 ;)

JPN @ Feb 28th 2008 1:51PM

Thats funny, cause, its not Mario game.

dwain white @ Feb 28th 2008 1:45PM

It was nice to see, but makes me love my nintendo!

Good thing he wasn't on the Genesis.

David Hinkle @ Feb 28th 2008 2:16PM

Yeah, I don't think I would like Mario as much if he threw boxes instead of jumping on the heads of his enemies.

dishwasher @ Feb 28th 2008 2:34PM

I wanna see some videos like this of sonic!
Lets see sonic on the NES.

Abscissa @ Feb 29th 2008 12:12PM

Look up "Somari" on the NES. It's basically the Genesis Sonic 1 ported to NES, but with Sonic replaced by Mario.

RupeeClock @ Feb 28th 2008 5:04PM

There's a BIG difference between fan-created videos, and shittily crafted pirate games that just stole graphics from the SNES games anyway.

SabreCat @ Feb 28th 2008 7:38PM

More like if Super Mario Bros. were a buggy early build of a Commander Keen-era shareware game...

It's much closer to what Super Mario Bros. would be on the Genesis. In fact, it keeps the original gameplay intact (sort of). You play as Sonic, but it's still clearly Mario.
