All of us have more than likely played the SMW pirate, and I'm certain that all of us who have HATE the way Mario jumps. Sure, the game has other issues, but this is the one thing that SERIOUSLY reduces the amount of fun we have while we play.

I saw another website somewhere that had documented a few game genie codes for SMW on the NES. I thought for sure it must be a mistake, I mean, no one sits around and spends the time to figure out GG codes for crappy knockoff games. But I was wrong, and when I messed around with the codes they had given, I found this code:

Code:

 

YUSUPLAZ

What this code does is make it so Mario stays at FULL SPEED when he jumps, unless of course you want to stop - then he stops. You're not going to slow down even a fraction when you run and jump. I am actually having fun playing this game with the code enabled - it's almost like playing a beta Mario or something. Handles a lot better than what I expected!

What I find really weird is that this code works on the full version of the game (the 45 in 1 multicart rip) but not on the version that only has worlds 1 through 4. If anyone knows why, That'd be great. Other than that, enjoy SMW NES for the first time ever, with YUSUPLAZ! :dance:

Okay, so a lot of people seem to think that SFIII stole its graphics from Master Fighter VI', but I think I have a pretty strong case that it was the other way around.

Master Fighter VI' is clearly built using the Kart Fighter/SFII NES engine, which means one type of punch and kick (not counting the "up close" punches and kicks). However, SFIII uses it's own engine, and has light, medium and heavy punches/kicks for each charachter, as well as up close punches and kicks, which means at least twice as many frames of animation. I highly doubt they ripped the graphics from MFVI' and were just like "hey, we can add EVEN MORE frames of animation and add in light, medium and heavy punches!". The game that has all of those frames in it was clearly the one that was developed first.

If you notice the way Guile walks in MFVI', you can see it just looks a bit cheesey. He has a bit too much spring in his step. But in SFIII, Guile, and every other charachter, are VERY well animated, and all in proportion with one another. In addition, Chun Li is in propotion with her stage - Balrog looks like a GIANT on that stage in MFVI'.

My final point is that MFVI' Has ripped resources from everywhere - SFII, SFIII, Cony's crappy versions, and the music is of course from SFII. SFIII, However, doesn't seem to 'steal' anything besides text locations in the CHR, and of course the title screen logo.

Whoever developed SFIII, it can't have been the same people who made Kart Fighter, SFII, SF4, Master Figher VI' and all of the other games using the KF engine..... or else they would have used the KF engine for SFIII too :p. Not to mention the HORRID music in SFIII. Having the decent tracks from SFII laying around, they would have just thrown them in there (Thats not exactly proof of anything, but what are the chances, seriously?) and of course, they could have been distributed by the same people. Just not programmed.

If someone can prove otherwise, that would be pretty awesome, but I'm guessing since the sprites look the best in SFIII, and they have so many more frames of animation, AND everything's in proportion... Whatever team made this game also made 95% of the graphics that went with it, based off my observations.

Here's a video I made about pirated fighting games a while back. Might not have anything new for you guys, but meh, Ill share anyway: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LkLcjgiu8OQ
