Mario 16 is a hack of the NES version of Joe & Mac released in 1993 by an unknown company. It was later rereleased in 1997 as Mario Super Jurassic Park.
Overview[]
Gameplay.
Like most hacks, both the title screen and player graphics were altered, to incorporate graphics from Super Mario Bros. 3. Joe's sprites were replaced with those of Mario's. Most other sprites and tiles in the game are identical. The palettes were not altered, however, and so the colors are noticeably off. Everything else from this original game remains the same.
Mario starts with 10 lives (unlike 3 in the original). The game was released in 1993 and re-released in 1996.
Mario Super Jurassic Park[]
There is an alternate version of the game titled Mario Super Jurassic Park. It alters the title screen to feature the Jurassic Park logo (sometimes misspelled as "Jurassk Park") in place of Mario, and replaces the "16" with a strange graphic of Mario's head.
Donkey Kong[]
Another hack likely by the same people responsible for Mario 16 known as Donkey Kong also exists. It changes the title screen and turns all of Joe's sprites to resemble Donkey Kong. Curiously, it also changes the caveman enemies to look like crocodiles and turns the girl into Diddy Kong.
Trivia[]
- PCB manufacture code reads 810936C, which translates to September '93.
- This game was reviewed on the game show Dendy: The New Reality. The original Joe & Mac was also reviewed later; the host was seemingly under the impression that Mario 16 was the original and Joe & Mac was the hack when it's the other way around.
