Mario somehow packed on a few pounds for the Genesis version of Super Mario World. In this rare, illegal port, Mario also walks funny while he's carrying...why is he carrying crates? Oh, and it looks like he's modified his fire pellet throw. Now it's closer to Ryu's Hadouken.

I could almost stand this, but Mario has a bit of a downs face, and the music is a bastardization of the original. The underworld music isn't even there; it's just the messed up main theme over and over. And why do the crates make that sound when they break.

Someone bought this piece of sh*t, this unlicensed Genesis cartridge, for $20.50 in an eBay auction. I suppose I might have, too. I would have played it with the sound off, though.

Watch the video until the end. You have to hear the sound it makes when Mario dies. It sounds like a 16-bit chain saw.

I'm strangely attracted to the graphics here. Especially that Bowser sprite. I don't know why...

If a fat dragon rushed you, you'd probably make that deathscream too.

From that death sound I can assume Mario was related to Ecco the Dolphin...

Why do the Goombas sound like puppies yelping when you kill them?

That crate sounds is fucking brilliant. Like lazers.

Whoever took the time to make that would've looked way better if they didn't just shove Mario and goombas and stuff in their platforming game. But still, the dev/devs must lack a sense of hearing. That was painful.

Producer: Hey guys we need to ship this thing today at 3pm.

Lead Programmer: But we haven't finished the collision detection on some of the blocks and Marty is still trying to figure out how to make the fireball arms rotate.

Producer: Too bad.

Thank you! That's exactly what I was thinking, the way he was tossing those crates around.

I agree with Electrium: whoever took the time to rip this off would have made a better game if they had just used some original IP.

Usually these pirate games are rom hacks with sprite swaps. That's probably why mario and other characters seem to be out of proportion to the rest of the world.

Anyone have an idea what genesis game this was likely hacked from? (There wasn't a Genesis Rescue Rangers, was there!!!?!??)

Mario step on the fucking goombas, you are not Donkey Kong.

This reminds me of a rom I found once forgetting that SEGA and Nintendo were freaking bloody rivals, and there was Sonic the Hedgehog, for SNES.

TheBigFeel said what I was going to say.

Background and Bowser graphics look directly ripped from Super Mario All-Stars. No idea what Genesis game involves throwing crates, though.

Holy shit that death was the most insane thing I have ever heard from an old school game.

This is hilarious.

I actually like it. Crappy sound fx but doesn't look like a bad game. looks better than a lot of crap we get now. Sorry if that angers any authors here at Destructoid.

I wonder who decided "Fuck it, lets just let the player jump through the ceiling" on level 2.

I got this not-ROM a few years ago, couldn't stand playing till the end of the first level.. It's just one more of the shitty pirate games that came out at that time... Shitty games like King of Fighter 98 and Virtua Fighter VS Tekken for Genesis and Sonic 4 (a lame Speedy Gonzales hack), Tekken 2, Soul Edge and X-Men Vs Street Fighter for the SNES. Just sad.

Man, this Mario's been juicing, all tossing crates like nobody's business. He's like -this- close to having the cops called on him for domestic violence.

Did he just...bend over to shoot fire from his face?

He jumps through ceilings!

It's actually a lot better than that old Sonic rom for SNES.

Box throwing reminds me of Chip and Dale's Rescue Rangers.
