Super Mario Bros. 3: Super Mario Bros. in the Mystery of the Flying Fish

Super Mario Bros. in the Mystery of the Flying Fish is a mini-hack of the classic Super Mario Bros. 3 developed by PSlugworth, released on July 23, 2005. In this single-world adventure, players control Mario and Luigi as they investigate a bizarre phenomenon in the Mushroom Kingdom where flying fish threaten local fish markets. The hack features a unique fish-themed gameplay with auto-scrolling levels, offering a challenging yet entertaining experience.

While Mario is romping through the Mushroom Kingdom's royal water fountains one day, he is witness to a mysterious phenomenon: the fish from around the kingdom begin to take flight! It's up to the Mario Brothers to find out what is responsible (I wonder...) and stop it before the local fish markets are all dried up! Note that this is a "mini-hack" -- a novelty/concept hack that is complete and spawns only one world.

Concept:

I'm calling this a "mini-hack" because there is only going to be one world. Quite frankly, I lose interest in PLAYING most hacks after around one world, much less MAKING them. Plus the theme of the hack is good for about a world, but would definitely run thin quickly if it went on for two worlds or more, so I figured this was the best route.

Story:

While Mario is romping through the Mushroom Kingdom's royal water fountains one day, he is witness to a mysterious phenomenon: the fish from around the kingdom begin to take flight! It's up to the Mario Brothers to find out what is responsible (I wonder...) and stop it before the local fish markets are all dried up!

Additional Notes:

That's the loosest story I could come up with that incorporated the theme of the hack. In all honesty? I came up with the theme and title (which I thought was pretty damned funny) and eventually BSed a story out of it! But that's not important -- its' a fun hack, regardless!

I would rate this as pretty challenging; even I found myself swearing at my computer more than once playing through it. But it's not impossible, and it never gets so frustrating that it's not fun anymore.

As you may have guessed, every level features fish, and -- because there just weren't enough in the original SMB3 -- they all auto-scroll.

Thanks,
