Okay, I requested a game called Full Screen Mario, which is an HTML5 fan remake of Super Mario Bros., but was rejected because it was too similar. Could it be accepted as an emulator or added as a category?
The only versions of SMB I have are that and WiiUVC, and I don't have a capture card. I suppose, though, if screenshots are allowed, I may be able to submit a run that way. (I mostly just do ILs.)
A fangame ? I don't understand really how it got denied. If the levels are copies of the SMB1 game, I am sure the SMB elite can add a Rom Hacks sections. However, if the levels are entirely new, I think it's not very linked with Super Mario Bros. Well I don't know.
It uses the same levels as SMB1, but it also has a level editor and a random level generator. It isn't technically a hack or mod, because it was coded from scratch by a fan.
So it's a fangame (with non-original engine) with original levels (so not a different game). In a few games with multiples engines and the same levels (Marios All Stars and Legacy Engines, Half-Life 2 Old Engine and New Engines), they make new categories. However, the game doesn't look very popular enough to add a category (even misc.), so I'ld let mods decide.
Well, it was popular for a while, but Nintendo shut it down. It is still available via GitHub and apparently even the Chrome Web Store.
Any% (NTSC) runs below 4:57.000 must now fulfill additional requirements in order to be verified.
- The run's full session must be included in the submission description.
- For emulator runs below 4:57.000, some form of input display must be visible for the duration of the run. A hand-cam or input
