What is your opinion on "improvement" type romhacks?

When Super Mario Land DX finally let the original sprites for Mario and other things in the game I got happy.

Well, I'm kind of a semi-purist in a way, changing things that needs improvement is a yes but I want to keep the original aesthetic that doesn't looks like a fangame.

I'll be honest and this Mario head does not look like "Made By Nintendo" in my book

On the other hand having Luigi playable and Hard Mode right on the go from the title screen made that romhack a replacement to the original.

I kinda regret that the original didn't let you play the hard mode with a special code like Kirby's Dreamland 1.

I don´t give a crap about this so called "Pure" crap where you must play games on OG hardware or original version and so on. I just wanna play a good game I don´t give a rats ass if it´s on og hardware or uses original version.
Yeah, if someone wants the "authentic" experience they're free to do so.

We can appreciate something the way we want too.
