1. FIRST WORDS

Welcome!

First of all, be sure to have the original cartidge from NINTENDO, called "New Super Mario Bros."!
Otherwise, delete this patch immediately!! I'm not supporting illegal activities!!
It wouldn't be fair against Nintendo! Thanks!

Secondly! This is a non-profit ONE-MAN-FAN-PROJECT!! This game is completly for free!


Thirdly! Only install/run this game when you have downloaded it from my official site! www.skjmin.org
There are a lot of spyware filled patches or even full .nds-files!


This patch will replace all of the old levels with these from "Super Mario Bros. 3" (Nintendo Entertainment System, 1988) and some other special courses from several 2D-Mario games and even other famous games :)
The game has a lot of puzzles, obstacle courses, sick mazes and even more harder levels! You won't be dissapointed...surely not!


But beating the game is not the main difficulty! 
The true mission is to get all 240 "Star Coins" and beat the game then! (more below)
They were hidden truly well, and it needs a bit more just some "Jump N' Run" actions to get these!


==============================================================================================================================
I prefer a real DS, because it makes much more fun and you can see the true graphics power of New Super Mario Bros. 3! 
DO NOT use emulators!! They are illegal and they cause a lot of glitches! Also render issues! 
==============================================================================================================================

2. HOW TO PATCH

This is the most important part of the READ ME I guess :)

I'll say it again, don't perform any of the steps, when you don't have the original game by Nintendo (ORIGINAL means = having the cartridge "in the hand")

Everything you need for patching is in the pack! (besides the main rom)
Be sure you have installed the Microsoft .NET Framework-pack! The tool won't work without these files! Get them from mwww.microsoft.com!!


Patching:
01. Get your ROM (don't ask where to get one, it's illegal to download them, even when you have the original cartridge!) Usage at own risk!!
02. The ROM must be the [U]-Version of the game, the others won't work! (but the MULTI is also included in my patch! MULTI --> ENGLISH, FRENCH, GERMAN, ITALIAN, SPANISH)
03. Download the file from me (Yeah, you're reading the READ ME right now...) and extract it, recommended Tool: WINRAR! 
04. You'll have some separate files and folders now! When you don't have one of these files, then you haven't the ORIGINAL content from me, SKJmin!! Visit www.skjmin.org to get the latest version!
05. Open "xdeltaUI.exe" in the "-2- Patch Tools" - folder!
06. Remember, we want to patch our rom, so we have to click on the tab "Apply Patch" (It should be marked in the default setting)
07. You'll see 3 empty boxes with 3 buttons to the right from each of them... (1. box - Patch, 2. box - Source File, 3. box - Output File)
08. Click on the first button "Open" right of the "Patch"-box!! A new window will open!
09. Search for my xdelta-patch now and double click on "[U] New Super Mario Bros. 3 [Version 3.0a].xdelta" (the 1. box should be filled with the path!)
10. Now to the second button, click "Open" right of the "Source File"-box and search for the "clean, not trimmed" (downlaoded) ROM! Remember: Only the [U]-version will work!
11. And at last, the third button! Click on "..." right of the "Target File"-box and choose a place on your harddisk to save the patched rom!!
12. After saving the new file, you'll realize it has no extension, right mouse click on the file and press "rename"!!
13. You have to add ".nds" behind the given filename! [Example: after saving "NSMB", after renaming "NSMB.nds"]
14. Your game now is successfully patched!
15. Get it on your flashcard or use an emulator to play the game! Have Fun!!
16. Support Nintendo by buying a "real" Nintendo DS!! Playing on the emulator is not recommend!!

3. KNOWN PROBLEMS

- some missing sounds like the bubble-effects in some courses!
- larger levels cannot be played on some flashcards!! --> [3-A], [5-B] and [8-T1]. See GBAtemp for more infos!
- when you watch the INGAME-INTRO till the end you will see the older elements of the original title screen...




---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------




4. Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Where can I get a rom?
A: Move the complete pack in the trash, press on delete all files, and the rom will show up...


Q: I'm getting an error by patching the game! (i.e. Xdelta3: target window checksum mismatch: XD3:_INVALID_INPUT)
A: Be sure to use the [U]-Version of the game! It must be clean, not trimmed nor dumped or whatever! 
   This error means you have used a wrong ROM!!


Q: I've patched my rom, but I can't open the file! 
A: Did you write the ".nds" extension behind the filename?


Q: My game starts but I cannot see the main screen, an error shows up like "WRONG OR CORRUPT SAVEFILE - DELETING THE SAVEFILE"
A: You have to start a new savefile!! Using 100%-savefiles from others or your old saves fomr the original game, will lead you to this error (or the error in the next Q/A)
   It may be skipped when you have luck :) But I wouldn't risk it!


Q: Before I start to play, is the game even beatable on a flashcard?
A: Yes, it was tested on several flashcards for compatibility, and it works!
   I myself tested the game and it works PERFECTLY!! EVERTHING!! 100% beatable!!


Q: I can't see any RED FLYING BOXES/HAMMER BRO'S in my level! When I was on the worldmap, it was on the same spot!
A: Yeah, so start a NEW GAME and disable your cheats! ("unlock all levels/worlds"-cheat will cause this error!)
   YOUR CURRENT SAVEGAME GOT CORRUPT! YOU HAVE TO START A NEW ONE!! 


Q: Where can I find the Tanooki suit or even the feather item...
A: Sorry, but this game doesn't have these items, maybe in future, try to beat it without them first!


Q: Did you place the Star Coins in the game, can't find any of them!
A: Yeah, I've put them in the levels, but they're much harder to find than in the original game!


Q: I can see a Star Coin, but I can't reach to it...
A: Hmm... Sometimes it's useful to kill every foe or collect each coins in the room...


Q: Do the STAR COINS in the CANNON-level count? 
A: No! I just added it just for fun. That's the reason why they're easy to find :)


Q: Some levels are freezing... 3-A for example!
A: Yeah, that's a known bug which cannot be solved... This happens only on some flashcards
   Some courses are pretty huge!! That's the reason! In other words, the flashcard doesn't have enough power to render the course!! :)


Q: Is the course 6-A even beatable??
A: Yeah, it took myself uncountable tries to beat the first part of the level, the second is not beatable. (just joking)
   It's pretty hard, but beatable! Everything you can see in there was beaten by me!!! (without cheats!!)


Q: Does 7-6 a secret exit? I'm beating the level on the normal exit but I'll be always leaded to 7-4 always!
A: Sorry, but this is something which have you solve on your own... HINT: Secret Exit!


Q: How long is the second part of 7-Castle? The SPIKEY-FALL...
A: It's even hard with the both power-ups... try to memorize the course, it's not that long...
   The problem is: There is a third castle-part aswell :)


Q: Oh, the FINAL CASTLE has a secret route?
A: Yeah, it has a normal and a secret route! The secret route will give you a pretty nice reward!
   You have to give the correct codes to see the very last part of this secret course!
   PS: This will be removed in version 4.0!


Q: Where can I find these codes?
A: In each of the A-B-C levels are numbers at the stairway (final jump to the flagpole)
   You have to notice the numbers somewhere, there are twelve A-B-C-levels in total!
   And they're hard as shit... :D (not all but almost all)


Q: Some of the graphics are looking strange, for example the fog/cloud effects in the ghosthouses!
A: I'm sure you're playing the game on the emulator... As I said, do not use emulators! Please get a REAL Nintendo DS and play on that thing!!


Q: Why did you put so much 1-UP mushrooms in the game?? Isn't it too easy now....
A: No it isn't, I made that, because a lot of you will be frustrated very fast^^
   The game is balanced, it's not easy nor hard!! Ok maybe tending to hard :)
   

Q: Dammit, I found Alucard on a level and Bowser was lying finished-off on the ground, how did Alucard wound him, I couldn't see that! :(
A: He used his "Dark Hellfire" to paralyze him and performed the "Dark Metamorphosis" to steal his last remmaining life...


Q: Can I make profit with this hack!
A: No, not even I'm doing this! It's illegal and you can go to jail!!
   This is a non-profit project! Respect Nintendo and Mario!!


Q: Can I post this game on other forums, boards etc.? 
A: Yeah you can, but please send me the link to the post! 
   And do not forget to give some credits^^

A: Older than you...

5. Some Hints and Tips
- Save whenever you can!!
- Do not spent out all of your Star Coins so fast!! You probably need them to unlock new paths and save your game!!
- You're stuck in a room? Kill every enemy who is in there...
- Learn how to do some speedy tricks! (fast wall-kicks, or "fast-falling" when you "slide" into a hole...)
- Collect all coins!
- Try to collect all Star Coins in each level... (I know, even I have to search for them xD)
- Save whenever you can!
- Do not use cheats!
- Do not use shortcuts or warps...You have to BEAT all levels :)
- Be familar with the ORIGINAL SUPER MARIO BROS. 3!! Each course was put in my hack and each course got advanced!!
- Learn how to use the TURTLE Shell and STARMAN!! You'll need them often!
- Open your eyes! Almost every secret has a hint in the game, if it's a changed tile, or a leak in the wall... nothing is unfairly hidden!!
- At last: Save whenever you can! (I can't say it often enough...)
