And even these little tweaks aren’t really against the rules Samus did learn to duck eventually, after all, and they haven’t made a Castlevania game without a double-jump for ten years. In places like this where strict adherence to the classic movesets would be detrimental to fun, the game makes concessions. Samus can’t duck to shoot short critters, for example, and Belmont always jumps a fixed distance. Some of these old characters have… how should I put it? Eccentricities that make them infuriating to pilot nowadays. The next step is to make Belmont actually fun to play. It’s another to make Belmont control like Belmont. It’s one thing to plug Belmont into a Mario game. So close, I daresay, as to really make no difference to the average player.īut he didn’t stop there. (I say this as a man who still has an actual NES hooked up.) But he really did get damn close.

But this is the first time I’ve seen it pulled off with such… panache. Sticking video game characters into games they don’t fit into is a time-honored fangame tradition, harkening back to the days when people first started plugging sprites into romhacks. You can play as Mario if you want, or you can get wacky with Mega Man, Samus, Link, Simon Belmont, Ryu Hyabusa or Contra Guy. ![]() ![]() Check this out:Įssentially what this evil genius, this Jay Pavlina guy, has done is shoehorned a bunch of old classic Nintendo characters into the original Super Mario Bros. So as I teased yesterday, I’ve been playing quite a bit of this Super Mario Bros.
