Hack SNES / Super Famicom

Super Mario RPG: Demake

Super Mario RPG · スーパーマリオRPG

Brings the extras of the 2023 Switch remake back to the original Super Mario RPG on the SNES: post-game boss rematches, new ultimate weapons, extra story scenes and fast travel.

What it adds

AnAxemRanger and Pidgezero_one's hack ports content that was exclusive to the 2023 Nintendo Switch remake back into the SNES original:

  • extra post-game story events and rematches with Bundt, Belome, Punchinello, Jinx, Booster, Johnny and Culex, with mechanics modeled on the remake
  • new ultimate weapons for Geno, Mallow and Bowser, plus new accessories and items
  • story scenes from the remake added to the main game
  • the fast red barrels on Booster Hill
  • warps to the start and end of Booster Tower, the Sunken Ship, the Factory and Bowser's Keep once you have reached them
  • holding B auto-scrolls text

What had to go

To make room, the opening demo, the Timed Hits, ally-switching and Flower Points tutorials and a short Sunken Ship scene were removed. As the SNES game has no Team Gauge, the Teamwork Pin instead boosts your stats in battle.
