Great news for both Pokémon and Super Mario players! A creative new mod has just dropped that merges elements from both franchises into one nostalgic experience. If you’ve ever wondered how a Super Mario game might operate within the world of Pokemon Fire Red, now’s your chance to find out!
YouTube content creator Alpharad has unleashed an excellent Super Mario Mod, where familiar characters and enemies from the Pokémon universe are replaced with iconic figures from the Mushroom Kingdom. Imagine battling Bowser instead of Team Rocket—how cool is that?
The mod comes packed with some delightful surprises. Each non-playable character (NPC) features distinct dialogue tailored to the Super Mario theme. For instance, some NPCs express their love for Super Mario Bros. 3, adding a charming twist that wasn’t part of the original Pokémon narrative.
This rendition also introduces a world-based progression reminiscent of classic Super Mario games. Players must visit Warp Centers to access different worlds and enjoyable side quests sprinkled throughout the adventure. Plus, get excited about a soundtrack swap; favorite tunes from various Super Mario titles replace all music.
If you’re itching to look at this whimsical mashup, it’s available as a romhack for PC gamers using an emulator. To grab your copy, head over to Alpharad’s Discord server.
Caution is advised, though, while mods often fly under Nintendo’s radar, they can sometimes take action against projects they deem infringing on their IPs. So it’s wise to download this gem while you still can!
