Super Mario Crossover 3.0 Adds Mario's Most Obscure Levels

A new update to Super Mario Crossover, the popular flash game that lets you play as other iconic NES characters in Super Mario Bros., is getting an update that will add new levels.

The new levels come from an obscure Japan-only port of Super Mario Bros. that released for the Sharp X1 and the NEC-PC8801 PCs. As you can see in the trailer below, this version of the game added new power-ups and enemies, and has a slightly different color scheme. Along with the new levels, there are also added difficulty settings.

For more on the game you can head to Exploding Rabbit. There's no specific date on when 3.0 will be ready, but it should be soon. The Lost Levels have also been promised, but this version of Mario Bros. took priority.

Nice, I didn't even realize they were still working on this. I love how they did the levels in the style of other games for this one.

There was a version 2.0?! Well *** studying, time to go check it.

Mushroom Kingdom Fusion was another good fan-made game, anyone who hasn't played it should check it out.

AWESOME GAME, IT LOOKS PRETTY COOL, I JUST MIGHT HAVE TO TRY IT.

I've been meaning to try this out for a while. I guess now is the right time to do so.
by Joshua LeMay Saturday, April 27, 2013 at 08:05 PM

Wait did the last version have Super Mario 2, 3, and World as well? I ask because this trailer showed levels from all three of those games and no one is mentioning it. Amazing.

Everyone talks about how good NES games are, but no one talks about how hard they are

Quite interesting. Also, did he really mod FF's Shadow as a playable character skin? That sounds amazing!
by gamefan71 Sunday, April 28, 2013 at 01:07 AM

This is like a brand new game and near endless potential. ^_^

Wow!! You get to play New Super Mario Bros. 2 too! Wart was one of Mario's greatest enemies! And it gave us a break from Bowser...
