After the events of Super Mario Land, Mario never returned to Sarasaland. However, he's back, and all of its kingdoms have had a bit of a "spruce-up" since last time!

Join Mario on his adventure through a remaster of the Game Boy classic, Super Mario Land!

This remaster will recreate, and even add to the original formula that made Super Mario Land great, all in NSMBDS containing:

- All the classic enemies, recreated from their official artworks (plus some others from newer Mario titles!)
- Every song remastered using instruments from NSMBDS, plus other songs from classic Mario titles!
- Every level remastered, to play like a NSMBDS level -- while also keeping the original attributes and gimmicks that made them classic Mario levels.
- Fully modelled world maps

DEMOS
Demo: https://nsmbhd.net/file/ywJoSvLYcqZIDFMW/Sarasaland-Advance-Demo-v1.zip

nds-bootstrap version: https://nsmbhd.net/file/t6gE6LWexIgA50Ip/Sarasaland-Advance-Demo-nds-bootstrap-fix.zip

To fix any patching issues, copy your clean ROM, and open the copy in NSMBe. Then, patch that ROM with the xdelta patch, and it should work.

To play it properly, download this version of nds-bootstrap:
https://github.com/ahezard/nds-bootstrap/releases/tag/v0.12.4

and set "Run in" on the 2nd page of the settings to "DSi Mode".

Wow! A Super Mario Land Remaster,
I never played the game because I did not have a GameBoy,
but I'm happy to be able to play this hack

holy mother of zog


normal me would say 'remasters are unoriginal yadda yadda'


but that is some cool work

you're taking the original levels and one-upping them, fitting them well into NSMBDS's style

that is cool

Yeah at least one person who makes use of the hours I wasted into researching the worldmap and Goombatlas...

hey, your work is appreciated. just because we're silent doesn't mean noone gives a shit.

back on track, all I can find that could afford improvement on map is, you should give the pyramid entrance some actual depth if you can.

This looks very promising and I‘m surprised, how much effort you are putting it.

This is one hack, I‘ll keep my attention to it.

I've created a repository with the game's source code
https://github.com/newluigidev/Sarasaland-Advance

and there's a version for nds-bootstrap

This is a pretty bad idea. Loading the resources during onCreate can lead to a short lag when the first enemy of a kind is created which can even mess up hdma for a bit.

Every profile has a function that is called during the level into that loads the necessary resources.

Two examples from NewerDS:
@ Replaces profile ID 251 (Rotating Spiked ? duplicate) 0216D9AC_ov_36: Fireball_ctor 0216D9B4_ov_36: Fireball_loadFiles @ Replaces Profile ID 106 (Fire Snake duplicate) 0213ED38_ov_17: MrSun_ctor 0213ED40_ov_17: MrSun_loadFiles

As you can see 0x8 in each profile entry is a simple void function ptr to the respective loading function.

I made a proper patch for this since you had to patch onto a version modified by NSMBe. Now you can use a clean dump without issues.

I really appreciate you sharing the source code, but I have no idea what a lot of these code hacks do. Maybe comment in a description for each of them?
