There are times in my life where I think I'm going insane. When I'm up late watching Comedy Central and they actually start dropping the f-bomb despite it being basic cable. When I go to a McDonald's and see that they sell veggie-burgers. Right now, it's thanks to these videos of Extra Mario Bros.
The amazing powers wielded by some of the fan developers out there never ceases to astound me. From the looks of these videos, this game could go toe-to-toe with New Super Mario Bros in terms of raw Mario-ness. But it's the multiple Mario/Super Metroid mash-ups contained here that push this one into the "must have" category for me.
From the looks of these videos, Extra Mario Bros may be an actual game. With that, I'm officially on the hunt to track down a copy. Or some anti-psychotic medication, which ever I can get first.
More vids of this maybe real game can be seen here, here, here, and here.
Thanks Sistermind, who ever you are.

spell check ftw. that is pretty freakin sweet tho.
Click on Lab File and it's #162. It's a SMB1 hack, so you'll need to patch the IPS to onto the ROM.
Please don't have me fired.
Read the comments, theres a link to it.
As for this, Man, I watched the whole thing. Pretty damn great.
I would certainly get lost.
I watched the entire vid before commenting... oops.
When I opened the story there was 0 comments, so my bad. Thanks for the link though Slaughterhouse
They never threw this version away though, stashed it somewhere. Hidden from the public. Someone working at Nintendo stole the code and here we have it today.
Nah! That would be too cool. Probably a hack.
There's some pretty sweet SMW ones too.
The way the author added so much that seems impossible to be in SMB is pure ASM6502 (The NES Assembly) hacking and adding. It is a nice hack, though.
Actually, since the bizarre language you aliens speak means nothing to me (pure ASM6502?) I guess the mystery remains.
If you're more into speedruns, there's one on http://tasvideos.org/
Think of everything you like about Super Mario 3 and add it into Super Mario World. Oh yeah, and throw in a 100 story ghost house just to mess with you.
There are backgrounds from several different games, though the music is still the same. The hackery was apparently done with Lunar Magic, a SMW level editor.
Check it out!
ASM = Assembly language
6502 = Main CPU in NES
Wedge: The game does actually look like it's supposed to be played without glitching through it, given the amount of stuff the player in the video outright ignores or skips through.
Y'know, at first I thought that you might be mistaken, but with the abundance of turtles about, you can definitely get through the walls that the player glitches through legitimately.
I'm gonna give this one a try.

Awesome.
So either you're lying, or somebody sold me an unfinished copy of SAB.
The guy selling it to me did seem a little shifty. And I $1000 was a little steep.
Here's his picture. If you see him around, call the cops.
On second thought, yes, the graphics, gameplay and music isn't what oyu find in your average ROM hack, but it seems to miss a few of the loveable quirks. Maybe Mario and Metroid are just not compatible.
