**Mario sets out on his most adventuresome journey yet!** Explore the land of Hyrule using 100% authentic Mario 1 physics and movement. Traverse the vast overworld, defeating dangerous Iron Knuckles and other familiar Zelda 2 enemies using the spells and tricks that Mario will find along the way. It's Mario 1 in Zelda 2. What else would you expect? _Will Mario save the princess as he always does?_ --- #### Quality of Life Changes * Choosing CONTINUE at the game over screen while in a palace will restart you at that palace. Careful, if you game over outside of a palace, you will go back to the start of the game. * When in the spell menu, press UP + SELECT to enter the game over menu. You can use this to CONTINUE and reset your lives before starting a palace (but be warned you will lose your EXP!) * Instant text boxes * Your most recent spell is stored, so you can continue to cast it with SELECT until you change spells * And many more... :) If the title screen looks glitchy, use a better emulator (it might be fine during gameplay though.) --- #### Randomizer support This hack also has full randomizer support! Check out the zelda 2 randomizer discord for more information at z2r.gg #### OST Available now!
