Don’t think this is gonna be a 100% Gold Remake, it’ll have its differences. Extra battles (some’ll be optionals, tough but rewarding), Hoenn Pokemon (in every area, and hard to find) New areas, Remapped some dungeons (so your old guides wont work) , Extra recurring characters (some’ll hate you, some’ll help you)
Note that the hack is incomplete but feel free to enjoy the hack as-is.
Super Mario Balloon v1.0 (Balloon Fight hack) by Magnus Nilsson How to use ---------- Apply the ips to Balloon Fight (USA).nes CRC-32: CB8FD7B2 SHA-1: F5E4CD9F287A8233EEE35AD1881B2770D9F2C453 MD-5: 6E125395CA4F18ADDB8CE6C9152DEA85 Changes ------- Graphics, text, sound and number of lives. About ------ This hack changes Balloon Fight into a Mario-themed game. Players are replaced by Mario and Luigi and enemies are turned into koopa troopas. Almost every palette in the game have been changed in order to make it a bit more brighter and "friendlier" compared to the strange space themed original. A few bonus lives were added to make it feel a bit more casual in difficulty. One of the worst things with the original was the annoying high pitched noise that the enemies made. This has been changed to a more neutral and less stressfull sound for a much improved playing experience. This hack came to be when trying to get my girlfriend into retrogame classics, Balloon Fight (of all games, never mind stuff like Zelda or Metroid...) was the one she liked the best. Because of this, I dedicate this hack to her. (C) Magnus Nilsson 2014
