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.

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.
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!!!?!??)
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 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.

All of this and you didn't say he can't jump on enemies a main part of the mario games? and down face rly.

Producer: Too bad.
Thank you! That's exactly what I was thinking, the way he was tossing those crates around.
Nintendo + Capcom collab.

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.
Background and Bowser graphics look directly ripped from Super Mario All-Stars. No idea what Genesis game involves throwing crates, though.
This is hilarious.
It's actually a lot better than that old Sonic rom for SNES.
