??Rohrleitung Gate

(A Super Mario Bros. ROM Hack)





Thanks for downloading.



Since I made the project without an assembler and only by hex editing, now I've forgotten a lot about the code, and plus I've lost some notes I made before.

I've shifted my focus towards my new hack Mario Gaiden, and I would likely not finish the hard quest part. Thus I'm releasing this version.



The hard quest was intended to be accessed in the hard mode of the game, but I've edited it so that it doesn't branch to the 4th world midway.

In certain stages, the solutions to the puzzles differ between the normal and the hard quest.

>What's so significant about this hack?

The majority of SMB1 hacks are devoid of ASM edits, and only a handful of them have used ASM edits to make the gameplay brand new. For instance, Extra Mario Bros is one of them. And this hack is another example.

By allowing 2-way scrolling within 2 pages and adding the mechanics of koopa shells breaking bricks and revealing hidden coin blocks, I've made it ideal for puzzle-solving stages, and I tried hard to make use of these mechanics to the full extent. And there's more.



Technical-wise, this hack also has custom background (by metatile), parallax scrolling, VRC7 music, and a great amount of bugfixes to the original engine (wall jumps, going through walls etc). The custom background is mostly underdeveloped though, due to my poor drawing skills, but as experiments, these enhancements paved the way for the hack Mario Gaiden.

Introduction:



'Sekai wa hitotsu ja nai, moshimo to iu sekai...

Mugen ni aru to shite, ima dohou ni kureteiru...'

(It's not such a singular world - the so-called 'what if' worlds exist

Now that I know of the infinite possibilities, I am currently lost inside it)

-- Hitomi no Naka no Meikyuu



'Soshite mata, kanashimi no nai, jikan no loop he to...

Nomikomarete yuku, kodoku no kansokusha...'

(And so, a time loop without sadness will once again

engulf me, the lone observer)

-- Hacking to the Gate



Rohrleitung Gate is a Steins;Gate inspired, non-profit fangame (ROM hack). (Looking back though, it could've been made into a Yami to Boushi to Hon no Tabibito-inspired game)

In case you don't get the title, 'Rohrleitung' is the German word for pipe.

ROM Info: Mapper 85(VRC7), PRG=64KB, CHR=40KB (A great chunk of the CHR space is unused though)

Genre: Action puzzle

Difficulty: Gets very hard later, savestates advised (Complete it without savestates and you're a god). The use of glitches are forbidden (actually many wall glitches are fixed in this hack)



Basic knowledge:

>The screen can scroll in both ways for most stages.

>Enemies don't disappear when they're offscreen. They only disappear if they're defeated or if they fall into the abyss of death.

>Shells can break bricks and coins.

>Always watch for hidden stuff. They can either aid you or become Kaizou traps.



New functions:

SELECT - Injure yourself

Enter the Konami Code (without START) on the title screen - Get 31 lives and enter hard quest (also enables stage select). (Ever tried inputting this code more than once?)



The 'irreversible reboot' is inescapable.

Enjoy the puzzle solving (and aim for the bad ending www)
