In case you missed it under ROM Hacking Related Releases, here is a link to the completed hack. I hope you enjoy!
Super Mario Bros. 3: The New Journey. After working on this project for over 4 years, I'm finally comfortable enough to give a release date (November 25, 2016) which, you have my word, will not be delayed or changed. I've always dreamed of creating a complete Mario game since I was a small child and now it's becoming reality. This is a complete hack of SMB3. I created 8 brand new worlds, each with its own theme and complete with full levels, custom overworld music, and graphics created by yours truly. I tried to create the new graphics to fit into the original game. A New Club Game can be found on the overworld. It's an extra bonus stage, much like the switch palaces in SMW with a treasure chest at the end. It's intended to be a Super Mario Bros 3 continuation. I consider myself a conservative hacker. My goal is to stay true to the SMB3 game while creating new and intriguing worlds to explore. I hope you guys like it! Title Screen World 1 Overworld: Fungi Marsh World 1, Level 4 World 1 Palace: All kings and creatures are different!! World 2: Native Ruins Overworld World 2, Level 1 World 2, Temple 1: Star (Shuriken) Bro!! A modified version of the Boomerang Bro! World 3: Crystal Canyon Overworld World 3, Level 1 World 4: Bass Lake Overworld World 4, Level 1 World 4, Level 4 World 5 Overworld: Golden Plains World 5, Level 5: Golden Bricks that Mario can shoot into coins. World 5 Hammer Bros. Battle World 6 Overworld: Piranha Forest World 6, Level 1 World 6, Level 7. Worlds 7 and 8 are for those who want to play through the game!! Brief history behind the game. After I completed Cinnamon Hills (My SMW Hack) I went to work on an SMB3 NES style game on an SMW ROM. I went pretty far with it, about four worlds (unpolished) and I converted all SMB3 NES graphics to the SMW ROM. In 2013, I realized that I went a bit over my head with the project, mostly the music, and decided to scratch it and explore SMB3 Workshop and create the game using the SMB3 ROM. I converted many levels and ideas from that previous project into this one. I created a rough rendering of the first 6 worlds on April, 2013 and my progress has been at a crawl for a long time. All 8 worlds were finished in late 2015 and I've been doing a lot of polishing ever since. Have experience being a tester or know someone? Particularly with SMB3? I could use some input to make the game better! Any thoughts or suggestions? Let me know! Thanks. |

This hack is gangsta!
I dig the screenshots, I hope that you'll change the text in this hack later down the road. You got this. ____________________ My Linktree |

This looks amazing! Thanks for sharing and continuing work on this project! The level design looks good, although I'm not entirely a fan of what you've done with some of the palette changes, it still adds to the hack nonetheless. ____________________ Jamie Dignam |

I have been looking forward to this hack ever since you made a thread about it 2 years ago, visiting it again and again to look at the beautiful screenshots. I'm glad to hear it's nearing completion, I can't wait to try it out! |

Posted by Googie Never thought to change the text on the status bar. I wanted the game to feel like the original but I do understand how it can be bland. I'll consider it for sure. Posted by Termingamer2-JD I know World 4 has a unique palette but like you said, I wanted to add a bit of character. The piranha plants have red stems (they don't hide when Mario is near.) That may be subject to change. Thanks for the comments!!! Can't wait to finish this! |

I'm a bit late to post, but when I first saw this announcement, I instantly became super excited! I remember when you were first developing "Super Mario Raccoon" and how I was looking forward to it. Very much so. From the unique graphics and palettes that established worlds beyond the original eight that were completely unfamiliar with new atmospheres and dangers for Mario and Luigi to conquer, to the level layouts and designs that just looked like they'd be so much fun to play; I was afraid of what had become of the project due to the lengthy period of time without any new updates. However, it can definitely be understood how we don't necessarily always have the time and/or feel like working on a project (I've experienced this for a while now) so I always do my best to wait patiently and continue looking forward to the day when such projects are finally released. Thank you so much for providing us with an update and even more amazing previews to relive all of that excitement again! I know you have a planned release date this time, but still, please don't feel rushed or pressured! Your project and our "new journey" has always been worth the wait! Best of luck! |

Posted by Quick Curly Thank you for the compliments, Quick Curly! I'm happy you're a fan! This is basically the same project as Super Mario Raccoon but I decided to change the name. This project improved dramatically since that last posting several years ago. Currently working with Mari42 to make this even better! More updates will arrive! |
