Super Mario Bros. 2: The Thief and the Cobbler SMB2 Nintendo Entertainment System

  • ~
  • Share
This hack is based on the unfinished cult animated film The Thief and the Cobbler, as written and directed by three-time Academy Award winning animator Richard Williams (animation director of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, author of The Animator's Survival Kit).

Select one of four characters - the nameless Thief, Tack the Cobbler, Chief Roofless of the forty Brigands, and Princess Yum Yum - for a side-scrolling fantasy adventure across seven worlds and twenty stages.

Pick up and throw items, enemies and bombs in a world where anything can become your weapon.

Face off against the evil Grand Vizier, Zig Zag, and his henchmen Goblet, Gopher, Tickle and Slap. Meet the mad and holy old Witch of the desert mountain, who will both help and harm you. Watch out for dangerous creatures, including the vulture Phido and the deadly doggie Kuriboss.

Retrieve the legendary golden balls, defeat the evil warlord One Eye, and save the Golden City!
_________________________________________________________

It is written among the limitless constellations of the celestial heavens, and in the depths of the emerald seas, and upon every grain of sand in the vast deserts, that the world which w e see is an outward and visible dream, of an inward and invisible reality ... Once upon a time there was a golden city. In the centre of the golden city, atop the tallest minaret, were three golden balls. The ancients had prophesied that if the three golden balls were ever taken away, harmony would yield to discord, and the city would fall to destruction and death. But... the mystics had also foretold that the city might be saved by the simplest soul with the smallest and simplest of things. In the city there dwelt a lowly shoemaker, who was known as Tack the Cobbler. Also in the city ... existed a Thief, who shall be ... nameless.

This is a complete graphics hack. Most background graphics are tweaked, and almost all enemy and character graphics have been redrawn. More elements of the world are animated than in the original game. Characters from the film "The Thief and the Cobbler" appear, of course. Most minor enemies are now based on real-world animals. The title screen is redone. Cards announcing which World you're on now feature King Nod or Zigzag (for World 7). The ending features artwork adapted from the movie's actual storyboards.

Some changes have also been made to the levels. These changes are not huge. It is mostly the same game, but there are enough changes throughout to keep you on your toes, and be a somewhat different experience. This is also optional - an alternate patch without these changes is included.

This is the first release of this hack, and if you find any problems or issues, please contact the creator directly rather than writing a review about it.

This is the first release of this hack, and if you find any problems or issues, please contact me directly rather than writing a review about it. I may make further tweaks. (The World 2 title card is slightly glitched, for a start.)

The Thief and the Cobbler (also known in butchered form as The Princess and the Cobbler and Arabian Knight) was in early production from 1963 to 1988, when Warner Bros funded full production based on the success of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. The film went over budget, and Warner Bros cancelled the production in 1992. Richard Williams was removed from what he intended as his masterpiece. The film was hastily and poorly finished by Fred Calvert. Disney produced the film Aladdin, which is suspiciously similar. Some of Aladdin's lead animators had been trained by Williams. Williams' original workprint circulated as a bootleg. In 2006 and 2013, Garrett Gilchrist released The Thief and the Cobbler: Recobbled Cut, a restoration of Williams' original intent.

The Thief: Good all-round character. Average jumping power, which decreases a little when he is carrying an item.

Tack the Cobbler: He can jump the highest and can go much farther, but he jumps slowly. When he has an item, his power decreases more than Mario.

Chief Roofless: He has the least jumping power. But as the strongest character, he has the fastest lifting power, and the height he can jump and the speed he can run does not change when carrying an item.

Princess Yum Yum: She is number three in jumping power. However, when jumping she can float in the air for about 1.5 seconds. Her jumping power decreases noticeably when carrying an item.

Some characters are stronger than others. Their running speed when carrying an item, from slowest to quickest: Princess Yum Yum, Tack the Cobbler, The Thief, Chief Roofless. This is also the speed at which they can pick up items, or dig.

Your game starts with three lives. You become smaller when the life meter is down to 1. You lose a life when your life meter becomes 0. Your life meter can increase to a maximum of four. You lose a life if you fall into a hole or waterfall, or fall when high up in the sky.

The Retry/Continue screen will appear when your game is over. To begin another game from the same world, press continue. You have two continues.
_________________________________________________________

UP - Climb up vines and ladders. Enter unlocked doors, or enter locked doors when holding a key.
LEFT/RIGHT - Move left/right.
DOWN - Duck or climb down vines and ladders. Hold down to charge power jump.

START - Pause or start game.

A - Jump.
B - Hold down to run faster. Pick up items or lift enemies. Throw items or enemies.
_________________________________________________________

The player will flash when you hold down for a couple of seconds. Your next jump will be 1.5 times as high as your regular jump.

Try pulling up the grass. When you press the B button when standing on the grass you'll find growing here and there, you will pull it out and lift it up. On the surface of the desert, you can also dig in the soft sand.

Grass may contain vegetables that you can throw at enemies. It may also contain magic lamps for travel to the Sub-space world, bombs, bomb enemies, spike shells, and coins.

When you stand on a portable block and press the B button, you can lift it up just like a vegetable.

Attack enemies with enemies. If you stand on an enemy and press the B button, you will be able to lift up the enemy and can throw him at other enemies.

Throw potions to destroy all enemies onscreen.

Go to Sub-space with magic. If you find a magic lamp, try throwing it. A door will appear. You'll enter the Sub-space if you press up and enter the door. The grass in Sub-space will turn into coins until you use a lamp twice in that area. These coins will help you win extra lives in the bonus game between levels. Sometimes Sub-space will reveal magic hearts which will increase your life meter, or reveal 1-ups for an extra life.

You'll become invincible by collecting cherries. A magic mask will appear when you collect enough cherries. When you pick this up, you will become invincible for a limited time.

Time Stop. If you have already taken four vegetables and you take a fifth one, a stopwatch will appeear. The enemy's movements will stop for a limited time.

At the end of each area, there is a Bird Face which becomes a gate to the next area. In order to open the gate, you must get a hold of the golden ball. Zigzag usually has the golden ball, so get it back by defeating him, with his own playing cards or with portable blocks.

A Bonus Chance at the end of each area. You can win extra lives by playing the Bonus Chance game between levels. You get 1 play for each coin you have collected from the last stage. These coins appear in Sub-space by using the magic lamp.

Super Mario Bros. 2 (USA) is a platform video game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Entertainment System, first released in North America in October 1988. A different "Super Mario Bros 2" had already been released in Japan. The American game is adapted from Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic (1987), originally released as an advergame for Fuji Television's Yume Kōjō '87 media technology expo.

Super Mario Bros. 2 was the fifth-best-selling game on the NES. It was released in Japan as Super Mario USA (1992), and was remade in Super Mario All-Stars (1993) for the Super NES, and as Super Mario Advance (2001) for the Game Boy Advance.

Super Mario Bros. 2 is a 2D side-scrolling platform game. The objective is to navigate the player's character through seven stages of a dream world and defeat the final villain. Before each stage, the player chooses one of four protagonists. All four characters can run, jump, and climb ladders or vines, but each character possesses a unique strength that causes them to be controlled differently.

For example, Luigi can jump the highest; Princess Toadstool can float; Toad's strength allows him to pick up items quickly; and Mario represents the best balance between jumping and strength. This is a single player game with no time limit. It scrolls vertically in some areas. Unlike other Mario games, the characters cannot defeat enemies by jumping on them; but they can stand on the enemies. Instead, the character lifts and throws objects at enemies or throws enemies to defeat them. These objects include enemies, blocks, or vegetables pulled from the ground.

The game consists of 20 different levels across the seven worlds comprising Subcon. Each world has three levels, except World 7, which has two. Each world has a particular theme that dictates the obstacles and enemies encountered in its levels, such as desert areas with dangerous quicksand and snowy areas with slippery surfaces. Levels contain multiple sections or rooms that are connected via doors or ladders. Some rooms are accessible by entering certain jars. Magic potions found in each level are used to temporarily access "Sub-space", an inverted area where the player can collect coins and Mushrooms that increase the character's maximum health. In addition, certain jars, when entered in Sub-space, will warp the player to the later worlds, skipping levels altogether. Other items available include cherries, which are collected in order to acquire a Star; and the POW Block, which can be used to quickly destroy all the enemies visible on the screen. The player must defeat a boss enemy at the end of each of the first six worlds, then defeat the final enemy at the end of World 7 to complete the game.

The player starts with three lives, which are lost each time the player's character loses all health from enemy or hazard damage or when the character falls off the screen. The player can replenish health by collecting floating hearts that appear upon defeating a certain number of enemies. The player will receive a Game Over upon losing the last life, though the player may continue up to twice in one game. Additional extra lives may be obtained by collecting 1-Up Mushrooms hidden in Sub-space, or by using the coins collected from Sub-space to win the Bonus Chance minigame played between the levels.

FIXED ISSUES:

The "World" title cards for World 2 and 6 were loading the layout wrong for the King Nod artwork, resulting in two repeated rows, and therefore a "glitched" left hand.

The cards (in regular Super Mario Bros 2) do have a slightly different appearance, created with a branching change that repeats the last two rows in place of the two rows preceding. The result is that the world displayed has no grass lip and is simply desert sand.

Bavi_H changed the last two CMP instructions to LDA instructions so the zero (equal) flag remains clear and those branches don't get taken:
14377: C9 → A9
1437B: C9 → A9

_____________________________________________________________

KNOWN ISSUES (possibly to be fixed in future versions):

Two versions of this hack are included- one with slightly changed levels, one without. It is possible that the version with changed levels has not been playtested enough and may feature segments which are poorly designed. I'd appreciate if you'd contact me directly about any issues rather than posting a review.

I would like to edit Ostro (Ostrich) to always use palette 2 or 3. That doesn't seem to be an option.

I would also like FryGuy (and his flames) and Clawgrip (and his rocks) to always use palette 2 or 3 instead of palette 1.
