A few more useful links:
Rock5easily's website. Click the picture to get the current version of RM3E.
RM5E is in the archive section, reachable by clicking "IPS" just above the pic...looks like he's done working on it.

3 and
5 Endless archives of old versions of the hacks. I'd suggest referring to the dates/version numbers from here if you post an .fcm of a run, so everyone knows which version of the hack to play the recording on.
They've also got some strategies (complete with YouTube videos) for some of the more difficult rooms.
Misty, who made the RM2 Deus Ex Machina hack, has also made RM2 Endless. Yay! ^_^
Fair warning: Wily fortress bosses can show up at any time, so save your Crash Bombs...you never know when "That One Boss" might show up. :p

General:
I realized I'd probably use some generic shapes often if I ever made some more scripts like this in the future, so I threw together some sets of drawing commands and stuck 'em in shapedefs.lua.
Zelda 2:
I finally took the time to figure out where the "is the enemy alive or dead" data is, so no more of this "health text hangs around stuck at 255 after I'm dead" thing. :p
Also gave said enemies some nifty lifebars, and changed the item drop meter gfx. ^_^
SMB1:
Not much to this one. Just adds a lives counter to the status bar and shows Bowser's health. :p
(Though I did solve a mystery that's been bugging me for years. Y'know how Bowser sometimes dies after only 4 fireballs? Well, look at the screenshot...Bowser is actually two 16x24-pixel sprites connected together, and it seems that the game registers a fireball on either half as a hit. You can see that the fireball hit both halves at once...I shot it underneath him as he was coming down from a jump.)
