THE SUPER MARIO BROS. 3 ‘RAINBOW RIDING’ LUA HACK

Adding to the insanity of Xkeeper’s original drag and drop Super Mario Bros hack, the FCEUX emulator includes a second LUA script that turns Super Mario Bros. 3 into the DS game Nintendo never made.

The hack disables direct control of Mario completely, and only allows you to manipulate him (and protect him from the rest of the world) via mouse-drawn lines ala the DS’s Kirby Canvas Curse and Atari’s The Chase. Admittedly still a bit rough around the edges, but still incredible to see the depth of remixing possible running directly from the original game.
