A while ago, the YouTuber Nathaniel Bandy reached out to me for help setting up a ROM for a video. The challenge was to see if New Super Mario Bros. could be beaten if levels were played from the end of the level, to the beginning.

Here is the video:



Here is the NMP patch so you can try it out yourselves:

NSMB Backwards Challenge v1.1

Changes made to the ROM:
-The spawn point has been placed at the end of every level (either next to the flagpole or on the staircase leading to it)
-The Goal Pole at the end of every level is inactive. An active flagpole has been added at the beginning of every level, slightly beyond the original spawn point.
-In some cases, due to spriteset limitations a flagpole can't be placed at the beginning of a level, so I've placed a pipe that leads to a separate room with a flagpole instead.
-In the case of Castles and Towers, the door to the Boss has been moved to the start of the level.
-Essential one-way doors and pipes are now accessible from either side. This excludes one-way entrances to hidden areas.
-Levels with autoscroll have had autoscroll reconfigured or disabled to allow Mario to go backwards.

Enjoy.
New Super Mario Bros.: Clone Tag Team 1+2 / New Super Mario Advance + Take 2 / Super Mario: Endless Earth
My two greatest assets have been mental stability and being, like, really smart.

I agreed to try your challenge, I didn't think this hack was that hard for some levels, but I was able to finish it (with a cheat code because at levels 1-3, 3-Gost house and 4 -2, Mario throws himself into the void when reaching the flag, and at 4-5 there is no flag at the start, which prevented me from finishing it), but I still liked this challenge! Thank you for submitting it to us on this forum!

I can't play the hack, rip. (Because I play the hack of rom on Android, but I see the video and it's look good)

I don't quite understand your problem. If you can't read the nmp files, it's normal because the nmp files are patches to import on a Rom. To import a patch, you must download NSMBe and import an import a patch using this tutorial: https://nsmbhd.net/thread/642-how-to-import-and-export-patches/

Note: NSMBe can be installed only on Windows or Linux

I play rom hacks only on Android, I know how to take the patch on a rom in Android, but this patch, nmp, can't play on Android. (Sorry for the bother)

Do you have a Windows (or Linux) computer to install NSMBe5? If so, you can patch it with NSMBe5, then move it to your Android, otherwise, unfortunately, it is not possible to play this hack (unless MarioFanatic64 can upload it in xdelta format and therefore you can patch it with Unipatcher on Android). Today there is no application on android to import an nmp patch on Android, sorry.

Oh well, I think I play this hack one day, sorry for the bother. (I don't have a computer)
