This is a list of licensed Famicom 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.
Ghostbusters II Ghostbusters III
Super Mario Bros. 2 (also known as Super Mario USA in Japan) Super Bros. 2, Super Bros. 5 [2]

[3]

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.

Games whose titles are only different on the labels

Original Game Alternate Titles Links Notes
Donkey Kong Donkey Kong Specia [4] 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 [5] 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.
Toki (also known as JuJu Densetsu in Japan) Donkey Kong Specia [6] This cart label is also used for Super Donkey Kong - Xiang Jiao Chuan as well as pirated carts for Donkey Kong.
