A Super Mario ROM Hack aggregator/archive thing
JUMP
This hack started as a small collab lead by aterraformer to be mostly vanilla with modern ASM technologies, very inspired by the original VIPs. It later expanded to much larger proportions and was headed by worldpeace (Cool|Cruel creator and winner of the 8th Annual VLDC). Some levels still retain the original feel, while many others have embraced more chocolate aspects.
Features: -Intricate dragon coin reward system -Dragon coins save upon collection -Hint movies for more cryptic secrets -Overworld pause menu with level information -Multiple checkpoints for longer levels -Retry system for the harder levels
This is version 1.04. Changelog is included in the zip.
