GG Codes for Super Mario Bros. (minus Duck Hunt) - NES

[Unicode]

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

~~~ 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

I like these codes. I like also your "Can Move LEFT or RIGHT While Crouched" code - it is very cool and useful.

@BeyondTheStatic, whether is possible you make also a codes:

• fireballs thrown by Fire Mario / Luigi travels on surface of ground;
• Koopas's and Paratroopa Koopas's shells moves slowly after they're kicked by Mario or Luigi (I found a code for this - APAPTI made by an unknown hacker, but I don't see it to work);
• Mario and Luigi can stay onto clouds in background (a code for this also already exists - EPASUX made by any hacker called "Yetiho" but it won't let you to pass the water levels as World 2-2).

Wow, those codes are amazing, especially the fireball and flying ones. Glad you have returned. I please you keep making these great codes!

I always like your codes. Nice job. By the way, so far, every code I've tested has also worked for the SMB + Duck Hunt cartridge

Impressive work!

All Super Mario Bros codes that I have tested, which is a lot, have also worked on the:

Super Mario Bros. + Duck Hunt (USA)
Super Mario Bros. + Duck Hunt + World Class Track Meet (USA) (Rev A)
Super Mario Bros. + Duck Hunt + World Class Track Meet (USA)

cartridges also.

Thanks, everyone!

Yeah, these cheats do appear to work with the Duck Hunt version as well, though I haven't tested every single one. At one point while writing my personal log, I switched titles. Some codes didn't work with the SMB-only cart, but for the most part, the addresses appear to be the same.

Data Crystal only had RAM addresses for "Super Mario Bros. (JU) (PRG0) [!].nes," so I went with it.

DC is a great resource for hackers, though sometimes their information is scant. Their SMB RAM map page is fairly extensive though. That's how I found the code section for the landscape modification stuff. It's also fun to just browse addresses for inspiration

Impressive work!

~~~ 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]

~~~ 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]

~~~ 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]

~~~ 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!
