Super Mario Bros.: Super Mario Bros. Special is a fan-made ROM hack for the Nintendo Entertainment System inspired by the original Super Mario Bros. and All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros. It features restored graphics, modified sprites, and a blend of tiles from both Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2. The hack aims to create an engaging experience that bridges the classic gameplay of the original titles while introducing new visual elements.

This started off as a palette restoration of Messatu's X1 hack. It is a combination of Messatu's enjoyable new minor features and lovely title screen, but with how Levi “Karatorian” Aho and frantik's hack actually looked like a NES game. Once the palettes and flash effect cycles were restored to that of their version, sprites were then also restored and a few small tweaks made.
SMB Special should be... special. So, inspiration was taken from All Night Nippon SMB. That game had a mix of tiles from SMB and SMB2j. So, the same was applied here. There are some tiles here from SMB2j as a result, but not all of them are. The intention was to make SMB Special feel like an in-between-quel for SMB and SMB2j and this seemed like a solution.
The beta ground tile from SMB2j is used here for the same purpose as well.
The end-game text was also modified to remove the Hudson thanks Messatu added and changed it be more like a traditional Mario ending. Starman also smiles now like he does in the actual SMB Special game by Hudson.
This has been play-tested. Applies to a bare SMB rom.
