Hi everybody!
I haven't forgotten about you guys... I just got caught up with other projects
Here's an embarrassing anecdote relating to this particular game. Back in the day--before I owned a Game Genie--I used to take my Super Mario Bros. cartridge and rub it into the carpet, to see what effects it would have. Soon after that, I discovered the slightly more advanced technique of placing bits of tape or stickers on the individual pins. Lots of cool effects were to be had, none of which were predictable. I figured my SMB cart could be abused, since it was pretty much all played out anyway. Unfortunately (as you can very well imagine), this bad practice wreaked havoc on my NES, and probably contributed to its progressive decline
With today's technology, hacking has become a much more refined pastime. I no longer have to resort to deplorable measures to get interesting results; I can actually target specific areas of these games! I hope you enjoy these codes

Code:
~~~ Fireball Manipulation ~~~ Fireball Nose Sword ALULLTEI IAUUPTPA ALUUITEI [B]NOTE: Press B while equipped with the fireflower to have a fire sword of death coming out of your nose.[/B] Toss Fireballs Over Your Head. KNULGTGE [B]Note: Fireballs will exit your person at an ascending arc, meaning you can now hit targets /above/ you.[/B] Control Your Fireball's Descent With A or B SXKLLVOZ ZEKLGTAS [B]NOTE: Shoot a fireball, and it will bounce off the ground and keep going up. Press A or B on its ascent, and it will fall. Its rate of descent is proportionate to the length of time the A or B buttons are pressed. B=descend some; A=descend more; A+B=descend a lot. [/B] Fireballs Have Near-Horizontal Movement AEKUATLA [B]NOTE: Their descent is minimal, roughly 1/2 block of fall for every 12 blocks traveled.[/B] Fireballs Fly Perfectly Straight NNKLGTAS AEKUATLA [B]NOTE: Enable this cheat before you get fireballs.[/B] Fireballs Bounce Through Solid Objects PENTIPEA [B]NOTE: Use this cheat to hit enemies behind walls.[/B] Can Shoot Fireballs While Crouched (you'll pop up briefly) ALKLYTEI
Code:
~~~ Flying ~~~ * Fly With Button Combo A + B ZASLPKIO EGSLLGLA [B]NOTE: Hold both A & B to enable flight. Press UP to float upward, DOWN to float downward, and LEFT/RIGHT to travel horizontally. Quite possibly the best flying cheat configuration, though it should be used with invincibility to avoid infinite hang time at the time of death.[/B] * Fly With D-Pad UP LASLPKIO AASLLGLE [B]NOTE: Hold UP to fly upward & LEFT/RIGHT to move about. Use with invincibility to avoid infinite hang time at the time of death.[/B] * Fly With Button A ZASLPKIO EASLLGLA ALSLGGEI [B]NOTE: Hold the A button to enable flight. Press UP to float upward, DOWN to float downward, and LEFT/RIGHT to move laterally. Use with invincibility to avoid an interminable hang time at the time of your unfortunate demise.[/B] * Fly After Jumping PASLLGLA [B]NOTE: The simplest, yet worst flying cheat. Jump to start flying. Use the LEFT/RIGHT buttons to move about. This cheat must be disabled often to progress through the game, otherwise you'll become stuck.[/B]
Code:
~~~ Player-Landscape Interaction ~~~ Walk RIGHT Into Any Solid Object To Enter Sub Areas ENKSKIEI [B]NOTE: It's the same as walking RIGHT into an active pipe. Very useful for exploration. Deactivate after flagpoles.[/B] Press DOWN Anywhere To Enter Sub Areas OXVSVTSX POVSNTAA OXNIKTSX AONISTPA [B]NOTE: It's the same as pressing DOWN on an active pipe. Useful for exploration, although the Walk Right cheat is easier to utilize and is effectively the same as this one. To be toggled.[/B] Destroy Blocks With Your Head EOKSOGEL [B]NOTE: Just jump up into any block, and it will simply disappear. You won't be able to collect powerups, but your coin meter will go up. Useful for exploration.[/B] Destroy Blocks With Body ESXSKIEL [B]NOTE: Just walk into blocks to destroy them and collect coins. Useful for exploration. Deactivate after flagpoles.[/B] Destroy Most Blocks With Your Feet ALEIKIEL [B]NOTE: Try this cheat whenever you find yourself stuck on some platform. You'll collect coins as you fall. Useful for exploration.[/B]
Code:
~~~ Misc. ~~~ Can Move LEFT or RIGHT While Crouched APXLLPEY [B]NOTE: Hold DOWN while pressing LEFT or RIGHT. Great for getting into those tight places. It looks like you're skateboarding ;)[/B] Bubbles Emanate From Player's Mouth ALNLPTEI [B]NOTE: Rabid sewer animals can apparently transmit their diseases to Italian plumbers.[/B]
Code:
~~~ Landscape Modification ~~~ All Background Elements (hills, clouds, fences, etc.) Become Breakable Bricks OZKPIKSU PIKPTKXA XTKPYGUO [B]NOTE: You /might/ not be able to pass certain areas with this, but it's a fun cheat nevertheless ;) Best used before a level begins.[/B] Castle Land! AUXOPIEY [B]NOTE: You can't complete the game with this cheat alone. Perhaps with other ones... or maybe not. It looks cool though! Best used before a level begins.[/B] Many Item/Coin Boxes Replaced With Powerups OXNPPIOU AENPZINT [B]NOTE: Most item or coin blocks can now power you up. Some things hidden in bricks will become apparent. However, the side pipe at the end of 2-2 will be replaced with an item block, so you will need the "Walk Right" pipe cheat. Best used before a level begins. [/B] Landscape Feature Replacement: Mushroom Platforms OZEOATSX APEOPTAA [B]NOTE: Many objects are replaced by mushroom platforms. As with most of these types of cheats, the game can't be beat using it alone. It's best used before a level begins.[/B] Landscape Feature Replacement: Brick Structures #1 OZEOATSX AZEOPTAA [B]NOTE: Many objects are replaced by brick structures. I think you can beat the entire game with this, but I haven't tried to yet. These will become coral structures in the underwater levels. Best used before a level begins. [/B] Landscape Feature Replacement: Brick Structures #2 OZEOATSX AIEOPTAA [B]NOTE: Many objects are replaced by different brick structures. The game might be beatable with this. These will become coral structures in the underwater levels. Best used before a level begins.[/B] Brick Replacement: Axes EZXOVXKZ IZXONXTG XTUPEZYE [B]NOTE: Many regular bricks will be replaced with axes that you can climb onto. You cannot jump up through them, though. Best used before a level begins.[/B] Block Multiplier x 2 PAKOUZAA [B]NOTE: Many blocks will be doubled vertically. Twice the fun! Best used before a level begins.[/B] Block Multiplier x 3 ZAKOUZAA [B]NOTE: Many blocks will be tripled vertically. Triple the fun, although I doubt you can get through the whole game with it... but for all I know you might be the first! Best used before a level begins.[/B] Objects Are Set Right Above The Ground OXUOVLOU POUONLNV [B]NOTE: Most block structures will be "flattened" and set right above the ground. Try it out on the mushroom platform levels. Best used before a level begins.[/B] Object Macro Extension Modifier OXKPSLOU ??KPVLN(T/V) [B]NOTE: Extends all object (block) macros to the specified amount. Affects just about everything, including the length of pits. The effect is caused by a direct overwrite across the board, so a value that makes one feature normal will make another abnormal.[/B] Object Macro Extension Example OXKPSLOU IZKPVLNT [B]NOTE: Objects macros will be set to a value of 25. With the "Walk Right" pipe cheat, you can /probably/ beat the game with this. [/B] Happy Gaming! ~BTS


I'll keep trying.
