Tonkachi Mario is a ROM hack of the FDS version of Super Mario Bros. that came bundled with an unlicensed game editing software for the FDS called Tonkachi Editor, which was released in 1987. It is the earliest known ROM hack of this game and features some pretty difficult platforming and strings of balls that Mario can climb to get to other places. While it can be completed without resorting to glitches, the ROM hack is still difficult even by today's standards.
For this run, Αsumeh forgoes the use of warps and competes every level in the romhack as fast as possible.

Ultimate Mortal Kombat Trilogy is a ROM hack of Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 for the Sega Genesis that adds in every character and stage that was in the first three Mortal Kombat games. It also adds in characters, combos, sounds, and special moves that were in the original arcade versions but not in the console versions, along with some special romhack original goodies. However, care was not taken into balancing the game when adding all the characters. Some of them may have very distinct and noticeable advantages over many others.
For this demonstration, Lars_Hendrick chooses to play 2 player-controlled characters against 1 CPU-controlled character, using Chameleon and Woman Chameleon, and lets loose with all the wacky and game-shattering combos and specials the romhack has to offer. The result is something that has to be seen to be believed.

Super Mario 64: The Green Stars is a Super Mario 64 rom hack made by Kampel, released in August 2013. Also listed under "hacking" in the credits are Kaze, Frauber and VL-Tone.
The hack has a number of differences compared to the original game, such as an increased count of 130 stars, harder level design, and (as the title implies) green stars. The game is intended as a fan-made sequel to Super Mario 64, and is often praised for feeling very similar to the original game.
The trio of authors power through the hack with incredible speed, showcasing the various levels and landscapes, abusing the game's programming errors, and collecting all 130 stars in under 100 minutes.
Note: There are encodes of higher resolution in the discussion thread.

Super Mario 74 is a Super Mario 64 ROM hack made by Lugmillord in 2011. It introduces new harder levels, custom music and a greater amount of Stars to collect.
The hack often pokes fun at both the player and the original game. Most of the dialogue is silly or sarcastic and some star names are deliberately unclear to give the player no help in finding them.
First-time TASer homerfunky uses the game's various glitches to blast through the hack, finishing with all 151 stars in less than two hours.

Air 2 is a trial-and-error platform puzzle game. Savestates are practically required to beat the game. Abuse of Super Mario Bros. glitches is required by design.

Bob-omb Mario is a Super Mario Bros. romhack where Mario can acquire the ability to throw Bob-ombs to destroy blocks that even he can't destroy as Big Mario. In doing this, NesDraug, the creator of the romhack, created puzzle levels that would normally be impossible without using lots of glitches and are intended to be solved with the Bob-omb powerup. In addition, Mario can run faster and jumping on enemies now causes him to jump much higher.

Celeste Mario’s Zap & Dash! is a ROM hack of Super Mario Bros., released in July 2023 as a precursor to the work-in-progress Mario Machina. Described by its main creator w7n as a “hastily done minihack”, it is the most technically impressive hack of this game by far, with heavy modifications to almost the entire game engine. The player progresses through a mostly linear world, using walljumps, Celeste-style dashes and various features in the level design to assist movement. The main collectables in the game are moons, which serve as a measure of completion as well as increasing the maximum number of dashes the player is able to store.

Extra Mario Bros. is a hack of the original Super Mario Bros. It is noteworthy for being a complete "Metroidvania" game built around the original SMB engine, with very few changes to the engine itself. The five areas in the game are all interconnected (via pipes, naturally), and permanent upgrades have been added to give it a more Metroid-ish feel. (Did I mention the music from Super Metroid? Because there's music from Super Metroid.)
However, despite his newfound ability to return to levels he's visited before and acquire upgrades that don't go away when he dies, Mario still cannot scroll to the left.
This movie collects all of the keys and fights the true final boss but only collects two of the upgrades.

  • Mario can keep a power-up in reserve like in Super Mario World, and the change is immediately effective.
  • There is a new power-up, Magic Mario, which allows Mario to stomp on more enemies than otherwise possible, shoot extremely powerful projectiles, and take a few hits before losing the power-up.
  • Graphics are rendered with a custom palette.
  • Almost all levels end with a Boom-Boom battle.
  • There are 7 worlds which Mario can visit in any order, each containing a hidden key.

Witness as lights in stages periodically go out, boss stages that are fought in the dark, more enemies present on-screen that shoot even more deadly projectiles at you, and more! Aside from the super hard difficulty, there is also additional music that appears to have came from the Mega Man Game Boy games and other games outside of Mega Man.
nightingale improes the previous TAS by 54.18 seconds, thanks to using Normal difficulty as well as further optimisations.

Rockman no Constancy is a very extensive ROM hack of Mega Man 2, with changes to the music, the graphics, the level design, and the characters. A couple of the powerups from the original game remain, which means that a number of techniques that can be done there can also be done here.
Two versions of this hack exist: "normal" mode and "hard" mode, with the primary difference being no mercy invincibility on hard mode. CUI here plays on "normal" mode and improves on the previous "normal" run by 85 seconds by making extensive use of zipping and death glitches.

Rockman: Deux Ex Machina is a pretty extensive ROM hack of Mega Man 2, both graphics and gameplay-wise. While most of the bosses and enemies remain the same, the power-ups and level designs have significantly changed, with gameplay mechanics added or modified to make the game freshly challenging such as flickering rooms or more hostile scenery. It also includes music adapted from other Mega Man games and even games like Metal Slug and Super Puzzle Fighter. You can read this list (Japanese only) for a list of all the songs used in the romhack.
Here, woabclf zips and hacks it through all the levels and bosses as fast as possible and finds themselves encountering a surprise enemy.

Rockman: Install Metal is an extensive ROM hack of Mega Man 5. Like many other Mega Man romhacks of similar scope, just about everything is changed: the music, the graphics, the level design, the enemy AI, and even the weapons. The new music includes songs from games such as Live-A-Live, Little Nemo, and Battletoads. Expect settings you wouldn't expect in a Mega Man game and some subversion of established NES Mega Man level tropes.
NemoRuby in this run completes the romhack as fast as possible by abusing the Super Arrow powerup, clipping through walls and zipping across screens whenever possible.

Rohrleitung Gate is a puzzle-oriented ROM hack of Super Mario Bros. that was inspired by the time travel anime Steins;Gate. It was developed by the same person that created Celeste Mario's Zap & Dash! and features a great level of technical prowess. A number of features were added that weren't in the original Super Mario Bros. such as two-way screen scrolling, the ability for Koopa shells to break bricks, and background parallax scrolling. It also has a number of bugfixes applied to the original engine to prevent cheating, making it incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to execute wall jumps and wall clips.
chatterbox nonetheless isn't deterred and sneaks in a few wall jumps to beat the game and get the normal ending as fast as possible. There is a "best ending", but it cannot be achieved without editing the game or using Game Genie cheat codes. For more information on this and the details of the run, you can read the author's notes.

Super Mario Bros. 3Mix is a Super Mario Bros. 3 ROM hack by Captain Southbird and originally released in 2014. It is an homage to the Mario series as a whole, featuring remade levels as well as elements from many mainline Mario games up until Super Mario Galaxy (rendered back in 2D in the case of the 3D Mario titles).
Mizumaririn attains full completion as fast as possible whilst avoiding arbitrary code execution, defined as follows:
  1. All exits
  2. All comets
  3. All 300 star coins
  4. All map enemy ambushes
  5. All arena minigames

Super Mario Bros. Special: 35th Anniversary Edition is a ROM hack that effectively ports over Super Mario Bros. Special to the Super Mario Bros. engine on the NES. Every level has been recreated and various items and enemies such as the Hammer and Sidesteppers were added. The only things not recreated are the noticeably different jumping physics and the screen-by-screen scrolling that were present in the original game.
SeraphimIII, gaster319 and slither all improve on their previous run by 2.16 seconds thanks to better optimizations involving framerules. Unlike most 2D Mario games, Super Mario Bros. Special didn't have any warps, and this was faithfully kept in this romhack. This means that every level has to be completed.

Super Mario Bros.: The Mystery of Luigi is a ROM hack of Super Mario Bros. that parodies Transformers: Convoy no Nazo and is made by the same person that created Extra Mario Bros. Luigi is missing and was possibly kidnapped by a really big Bowser, and it's up to Mario to find and rescue him. It may be a relatively short hack, but it has very good presentation and a couple of new mechanics that make it very different from most SMB ROM hacks.
HappyLee abuses various glitches in this run to get the best ending where Luigi is rescued in record time.

Super Mitch Bros. 3 is a ROM hack of Super Mario Bros. 3 that is focused on difficulty and the usage of various quirks and mechanics of the SMB3 engine. Unlike something like Kaizo Mario 3, Super Mitch Bros. 3 focuses a little more on genuine difficulty and requires that the player combine puzzle-solving skills and knowledge of the SMB3 engine to beat its 20 levels.
Pixel and Tuffcracker here collaborate to beat the entire romhack in record time with the usage of a number of glitches that don't appear to have been taken into account by the romhacker.

Super Orb Bros. is a difficulty-oriented ROM hack of Super Mario Bros. 3 that takes the orbs you get from defeating Boom Booms and makes a game revolving around them. While in the vein of ROM hacks like Air, this one is more like a puzzle game where various tricks have to be utilized in a specific manner or else you won't be able to progress. Thankfully, you have an infinite number of lives, but in turn, you get a death counter.
Mizumaririn decides to skip most of the intended gameplay routes through the use of glitches and obtain all 18 orbs for Old Man Grimm (don't ask what he needs them for!) in order to pet the dog in record time.

Superfast Mario Bros. is a romhack of the original Super Mario Bros. game that can only be described as a chaotic experience. The game speed has been jacked up to ludicrous levels; the frame rule is now 1 frame instead of 21, and transitions are instant. And despite all that, the romhack is surprisingly playable, albeit barely. Not that it matters in a TAS setting, that is.
eien86 and Denial140 improve the previous movie by 1.13 seconds, thanks to better optimisation as well as new tricks.

Note: This hack can be very glitchy visually and occasionally have moments of flashing lights that may be uncomfortable to some viewers.

Superfast Mario Bros. 3 is a ROM hack of Super Mario Bros. 3 that modifies Mario to be really fast. So fast that it's very hard to control Mario due to how fast he can go. He's faster than P-speed when running, and yet the P-meter isn't filled up instantly as the mechanics for that haven't been modified, only that he can go fast instantly and stop at a dime.
In this run, Asumeh takes advantage of Mario's newfound insane speed to easily clip through walls and stomp Boom-Boom into flashing explosions along the usage of warp whistles in order to complete the game as fast as possible.

Goof Troop ST (ST standing for "Space Treasure") is a ROM hack of the SNES classic Disney's Goof Troop. Much like the original game, it features puzzle solving stages as the characters play as either Goofy or Max, who can throw items at enemies, kick star blocks, and use grappling hooks whenever they need to go across large gaps.
The story of this hack is that Goofy and Max need to return back to the island from the original game in order to obtain a secret treasure, which is rumored to have come from outer space. Goof and Max must get the treasure before the pirates do.
Le Hulk uses both players to obtain the Space Treasure in record time.

Kaizo Mario (友人マリオ Yūjin Mario) is a Nicovideo phenomenon born from a person's desire to make his friend play his super-hard Mario hack and post the results on Nicovideo. By chance, this hack made its fame on Youtube when a team of Let's Play gamers obtained the hack and recorded a video of them playing it. The most well-known YouTube video in this series is the first part of ProtonJonSA's attempt of Special Stage 2 and his subsequent nervous breakdown.
Kaizo Mario World 3 (友人マリオ3 Yūjin Mario 3) is the third installment of the Kaizo Mario series. In addition to the video's popularity, the hack is well-done in comparison to the previous two.
Themes that are common to Kaizo hacks:
  • Extremely rigid windows of opportunity, with missed opportunities resulting in death.
  • Set-ups that demand the highest caliber of Super Mario World physics abuse.
  • Set-ups that require stunts that are tantamount to glitches.
  • Traps that cannot be foreseen without knowing that they exist, including but not limited to invisible blocks and being killed after apparently clearing a level.
In this run, ISM and Mister break the game completely with glitches, just as in the 96-exit TAS of Super Mario World. Said glitches involve making things appear out of nowhere, glitching through walls, and carrying Yoshi through to the next level, something not intended by the maker of this hack.

One of the submissions to this contest was titled "My QLDC Level", created by Faro and MM102, which won first place in the contest. This hack only contains one level, but the journey to get to the level is the real challange, as Mario has to make his way through the over-world map while avoiding enemies as well as solving puzzles. Was the journey to the level worth it?
If the efforts of EnderOnryo, Tuffcracker, and Darkman425 are anything to go by, it looks like it. Their combined work manages to save 18 seconds over the previous run thanks to new strategies and optimizations, including ending input earlier by not playing through the final level.

YtterbiJum chooses to complete the run with Miyu, his decision based on her superior ship speed and shortest charge shot time.

Note: This run was made long before the game had any official release, and used a prototype rom with a patch that translates and improves the game. As it is a highly extensive modification, it is classified as a hack. See submission for details.

Arguably one of the most well-known and well-developed SNES hacks in existence, Super Demo World puts Mario into a new realm that spans well beyond his original adventure.
Features of the hack include:
  • The ability to store unconventional items in the reserve box, such as a koopa, springboard, message box, or vine
  • 120 exits in total, including two secret worlds
  • Creative and challenging level design, with some puzzle elements thrown in
  • "New" graphics (mostly backgrounds taken from other games, such as Donkey Kong Country 3 and Mega Man X)
In this run, PangaeaPanga improves upon the previous movie by more than five minutes using newly discovered glitches and a slower overworld route, which counterintuitively saves time.

Super Diagonal Mario 2: The Ultimate Meme Machine is a ROM hack of Super Mario World that sets out to do what it says in the subtitle, be the "Ultimate Meme Machine". It is an ambitious joke hack that is filled to the brim with in-jokes, memes, and internet culture references that were popular throughout the 2010s. It also includes music that was popular during that era and some pretty questionable gameplay mechanics. Oh, and Mario is tilted at a 45 degree angle.
IgorOliveira66, not wanting to pass up the opportunity, decides to break this romhack apart into even smaller pieces than it was originally produced in. In fact, some of the glitches performed here aren't even possible in the original Super Mario World. However, due to how the romhack is designed, it can be hard to distinguish between what is a glitch and what is a deliberate design choice. But for more eagle-eyed viewers, this may not be a problem.

There are many hacks for Super Mario World, made with Lunar Magic, but few of them offer a whole new pleasurable game. The Second Reality Project is notable for being the first hack not made by the author of Lunar Magic that is still considered to be a decent game. The game spawned an Award-Winning series of hacks known for pushing Super Mario World to its limits, pulling in features from other games, and still adding on a few things of its own. This hack, The Second Reality Project Reloaded, is a remake of the original hack with all new graphics, custom music, and other great additions to help set the game apart.
This hack can be regarded as a true sequel to Super Mario World, picking up where it left off. Bowser has hatched a plan to rebuild his airships from Super Mario Bros. 3, and brings along his kids for support, hoping to use his newfound power and henchmen in the "Second Reality" to conquer the Mushroom Kingdom once and for all. Mario (and Luigi) must travel to the strange new Second Reality and face foes and puzzles they've never seen before. The game contains 8 classic worlds, as per the standard in previous games, as well as a special Bowser World, a Sonic World used as a short cut system similar to the Star World from Super Mario World, and one other...
This run improves the first TAS of this hack by almost 15 seconds.

Like the original game, and previous games in the series, it is not divided into separate levels; the planet Zebes is an open world which Samus traverses back and forth. This world is divided into rooms separated with doors which must be shot to be opened. Shooting is also used to open up secret passages, some of which contain nifty bonuses, but finding most of them is required to proceed in the game.

Super Metroid MockingBird Station is a Super Metroid hack by Xaggoth.
Here is the plot, according to this site:
Samus has been hired to investigate MockingBird Station. Others have come before her, but none of them have returned. Upon arrival, the station sealed the hangar's doors, blocking her way out. After scanning her systems, Samus finds that she must disable the station's power generator before she can leave. Unfortunately, the most direct route to the generator has been blocked and she must take a more roundabout path. The only thing that she knows is that much of the station is in lock down and she will need to release bulkheads to open more of the station. A larger bulkhead in engineering is blocking the alternate route. Disabling the generator will destroy the station, but there is no other option.
Hoandjzj decided to run this game collecting the least amount of items possible, when the hack itself forces the player to collect them. Don't expect to see Mother Brain in this video, since it isn't in this hack.
The in-game completion time is 00:19.

To play the Snes9x movie file, you will need the IPS patch for this hack. You can get it here. You will also need to apply this patch to an unheadered version of the ROM; if your ROM has a header, tools such as SNES Tool can be used to remove it.
