The positive responses to Pasta La Vista: Super Mario Bros. encouraged me to share another similar Super Mario World hack that released last year. Super Mario Bros. CD is a "what if" Rom Hack, what if the Nintendo Playstation released and had its own Super Mario Bros. game? Hack Info: Hack by: King Mayro, Famicom CD Team Patch version: 1.2 Release date: 10 October 2025 Source: https://famicomcd.org/smbcd

The Nintendo development group responsible for the Mario series games in the days before the playstation release (just at the time of the attempt of the Big N and Sony alliance) repeatedly stated that all the next Mario series games would be in 3D, so the chances of a 2D game being released on a similar joint console from Nintendo and Sony were almost zero.
And maybe I'm being too picky, but the graphics solutions of the hack (especially the palettes) are not only inconsistent with those of the PS1 generation, but even a little simpler than on the SNES - closer to the NES.
This hack is a "what if" the NES/Famicom had a CD add-on. It uses the underutilized SNES video MODE 0, limiting sprites to 4 colors, like the NES. In return, it offers 4 background layers, which the imaginary FamicomCD add-on would have provided. This has nothing to do with Nintendo's PlayStation.
 
Love the "what if" alt-history takes on things.
This is neat-o!
 
besides the cd quality music, it looks like the snes can do all of this anyways. parallax scrolling, layers, etc. the snes could do all this. now the mega drive... that actually needed an add-on to catch up.
 
god i love the famicomDS, i've been looking forward to this one. Can't wait for full release.

I love T-square
 
Like, this uses MSU or how does it work?
MSU1 is basically a regular snes rom with high-quality (CD) music. Comes in a folder with the ROM + music tracks. Just play the rom file from this folder in SNES9X and it'll work (download latest dev version from EmuCR to be sure).

Your typical MSU-1 ROM folder structure:

I don't disagree, this is very similar to the argument that a Sonic game on the Saturn would've looked like Sonic Mania which we know both Sonic Team and SEGA of America wanted to go with 3D, I remember the mid-late 2000s how 3D was all the rage that 2D games were seen as outdated tech even when they looked incredible, it's just a nice concept to imagine what it could've been.

This Romack is beautiful. The pictures don't do the parallax scrolling justice. I've been following this one for a while. Got really excited for a minute when they released the soundtrack for it a few months back thinking the final game was done.

Some extra info from the info page of the site might help explain it more to the others that never seen this amazing romhack before.
 
I deadass thought this was a PC game for a second lol. Those visuals look awesome!
