II.Introduction:
This isn't my first try at hacking games,but it is my first published(and finished)hack.Personally i have the worst computer known to man-kind so using hacking tools usually takes awhile to get them working on my computer.I've tried hacking alot of games but most of them ended in failure or i just gave up on the idea.Some of them are still in progress.I gave up on alot of game ideas mainly because i couldn't get the hacking programs working and sometimes just because i didn't feel like working on it anymore.Personally i think the Mario series from when it was born many years ago to now is one of THE BEST video game series ever(besides the Zelda series and the Metroid series).So why not do a hack on one of the games that started off Mario's popularity in the video gaming industry.

VI.FAQ:
Q:What do i do with .ips file?
A:If you don't know the drill by now...you're fucking stupid.But for you stupid first-timers out there, get an IPS patching program(i use LIPS)and patch it your SMB rom.

Q:THIS GAME IS FUCKING IMPOSSIBLE!!!
A:Calm down.Jesus Christ...just what i need...another angry gamer.I have personally went through every level in the game to make sure it is POSSIBLE.It is possible to get through every level in the game.So don't email me about the game being too damn hard.

Q:There's not enough mushroom blocks in the level.
A:Quit whining.I hate whiners.

Q:There's too many enemies in the level.
A:I hate you.Deal with it.

Q:Where do i get the rom?
A:I really don't wanna deal this shit so if i get an email from you asking about where to find the rom, i will report you to piracy@nintendo.com and i hope they find you and rape you...or something. :P

Q:Is there warp zones in the game?
A:Yup.

Q:Where are they?
A:Can't tell you.That would make it too easy.

Q:Is it possible to get to them?
A:It's possible to get to the warp zones...it just very hard and complicated to do it...but still possible.

Q:Im stuck at a spot where the blocks are too high to jump to...what do i do?
A:There is usually an invisible block somewhere nearby, but due so some unknown glitch in the game the invisible block might not always be there.(This glitch also appeared in the actual Super Mario Bros. game.)
