Celeste Mario’s Zap & Dash (2023) is an SMB1 hack that incorporates Celeste-styled gameplay with moons as collectibles.
While the hack is a good starting point for the “advanced SMB engine” (a.k.a. Mario Gaiden engine), there were some complaints with a few difficulty spikes in the game, and the need for MORE CONTENT.
So, on the two year anniversary of the hack, the hack team presents:
Celeste Mario’s Zap & Dash DELUXE,
with several major additions:
ASSIST MODE (in the original course), where you can breeze through stages you find too hard, and
A collection of courses with unique gimmicks, known as CELESTE ARCHIVE!
The course additions:
Duality Mario
Spelunker Mario
Celeste Mario’s Splat and Splash!
Mario Is You
A-Button Challenge
Final Destination
Rainbow Dash Stage
Celeste Maker, but everything has a price tag
Romance of the Mushroom Kingdom
Worst Minichallenges for Masochists
FAREWELL (unlockable with a total rank of 80 in the previous minigames)
Driller Mario (Standalone game with Roguelike elements)
[Ideas to come in future versions - stay tuned for v2.01 and above!]
(The PRG ROM size is doubled for this release, with little vacant space)
Are you ready for this brand new adventure?
