This is an archive from a 2022 ROM hack I made for ROM hack races. It's built on top of xkeeper disassembly. This hack was a complete overhaul of the game, with the goal that it would last 5-20 minutes depending on the skill level. A lot of new features were added to the game to make the experience much smoother for a race setting, while respecting that the game would still runs on the original NES and fitting the whole ROM size at a whopping 512kb. However, all of the changes I made could probably still fit in a ROM size of 256kb. The patch can be found in the release section.
- Complete overhaul of the level
- Complete overhaul of the visuals
- Beta music was added to replace the previous underground theme
- Pressing start now act has a fast respawn
- Dying now quickly respawns you, acting the same as pressing start
- Removed the iframe freeze that would happen when taking damage
- Reworked how cherries and shells work to make the gimmick work
- Able to swap graphics bank directly into the levels
- And much more that I forgot...
