'''''Super Mario 4''''' (aka '''''Super Mario Land 4''''', '''''Super Mario World''''') is a hack of the Game Boy game ''Crayon Shin Chan 4'', originally by Bandai. It is a very common title on [[multicarts]], and can be difficult to obtain in stand-alone form. This is the only hack of a game based on a Nintendo franchise known to make unauthorized use of Nintendo's corporate identity, as the Nintendo name appears on the packaging and in the copyright notice.

Super Mario 4 (aka Super Mario Land 4, Super Mario World) is a hack of the Game Boy game Crayon Shin Chan 4, originally by Bandai. It is a very common title on multicarts, and can be difficult to obtain in stand-alone form.

Overview

Super Mario 4 is one of the most commonly found hacks on the Game Boy. The hacker changed a large amount of content. The level design is completely different and is the main subject of the game's criticism due to the borderline unfair increase in difficulty when compared to Crayon Shin Chan 4. The game now includes many blind jumps and areas that require Mario to take damage in order to progress. This issue is also worsened by the lack of a password system and the removal of continues. The game has four levels, all of which are incredibly lengthy.

The story has been removed in an attempt to make the game look original, while most of the sprites are replaced with those from several Mario games (including Donkey Kong as the final boss) as well as the title screen which is based on the Japanese Super Mario 64 boxart. Yoshi is also in the game as a power-up, turning Mario into an invincible Yoshi with a powerful breath attack for a limited time.
