List of alternate titles of pirated Famicom/NES games

This is a list of licensed Famicom/NES games that have been pirated and go under a different name; whether the game's title was actually hacked (and nothing else major changes about the game) or only the cartridge art uses a different name.

NOTE: If you're adding a title to this list, also make a redirect page with that title that links back to here.

Games whose titles were changed in-game

Original Game	Alternate Titles	Links	Notes
1942	Star Wars: Episode I	[1]	Shows up on the 200 in 1 Super Game multicart.
Donkey Kong 3	Gorilla 3		Name likely changed for copyright reasons.
Ghostbusters II	Ghostbusters III
King's Knight	Lord of the Ring		Shows up on the 9 in 1 Super Game multicart.
Mario Bros.	Mr. Mary		Name likely changed for copyright reasons.
Pac-Man	Goblin		Name likely changed for copyright reasons.
Super Mario Bros.	"2"	[2]	Title has no real name, just a poorly drawn picture of Mario next to a castle, and the number 2. Single cartridges with the game often feature no game title on the front.
Super Mario Bros.:The Lost Levels. (also known as Super Mario Bros 2. in Japan)	"3"		Sequel to 2, modify the tittle screen with sprites from Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser and 2 Cheep Cheeps. Some graphics are a bit glitched and the name of Mario is changed to Rambo
Super Mario Bros. 2 (also known as Super Mario USA in Japan)	Super Bros. 2, Super Bros. 5	[3] [4]	Appears to be based on the PAL version rather than the NTSC version. Super Bros. 2 changes the copyright to "CTC". Super Bros. 5 changes the copyright to "ECE" and changes the year to 1991. Super Bros. 5 is often found under the Super Wonderful Mario label.
Blaster Master	Back to the Future IV
Werewolf: The Last Warrior	"Crash Bandicoot 4"		A simple title screen hack. Only seen on a PocketNES conversion. Not to be confused with the 2020 video game.

Original Game	Alternate Titles	Links	Notes
Banana Prince	Sonic / Sonison
Bio Miracle Bokutte Upa	Mario Baby		Conversion of the Famicom Disk System version to NES; the actual NES release came after the pirate.
Doki! Doki! Yuuenchi	Disneyland / Disney 2 / Disney 3
Donkey Kong	Donkey Kong Specia	[5]	This cart label is also used for Super Donkey Kong - Xiang Jiao Chuan as well as pirated carts for Toki.
Gimmick! (also known as Mr. Gimmick outside of Japan)	Shui Guan Pipe V	[6]	Removes copyrights (which also triggers the anti-piracy routine), uses a different mapper that doesn't support Sunsoft 5B, resulting in missing sound channels. DPCM samples also appear to be broken.
The Goonies	Harry Legend / Contra 6		Both only remove the title screen without other changes.
Kero Kero Keroppi 2	•Toads Mario •Frogger		The "Toads Mario" name appeared on single-cartridges in the 90s, while the "Frogger" name appeared mainly in 2000s multicarts and plug & plays.
Mario is Missing!	Super Mario 9		Possibly done on accident originally, but eventually picked up by other pirates and released under the title multiple times.
Toki (also known as JuJu Densetsu in Japan)	Donkey Kong Specia/Donkey Kong Delux	[7]/[8]	Both cart labels are also used for Super Donkey Kong - Xiang Jiao Chuan. The Donkey Kong Specia label has also been used for pirated carts for Donkey Kong.
