Annalynn, played as Mario or Luigi from Super Mario Bros. Remastered. The whole arcade game is still there (every mine, the snakes, the bonus rounds), but the miner is now a plumber who runs, jumps and stomps like one.
What changes
Mario or Luigi: press TAB (or Select on a gamepad) on the title screen to swap brothers. Your choice is remembered.
They move like themselves: Mario builds up speed and skids when he turns. Luigi jumps higher and slides further.
Stomp the snakes: land on a snake to flatten it for a couple of seconds and bounce off. It gets back up, so keep moving.
Super Stars: the rubies are Super Stars. Grab one and the Starman theme plays while your brother flashes and kicks the snakes away.
Power-ups for bonus items: the food that appears for bonus points is now Super Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, 1-Up Mushrooms, coins, hammers and more.
Mario's sounds: jump, coin, 1-up, stomp, kick, the death jingle and game over all come from Super Mario Bros. Remastered. Annalynn's voice clips are off.
Everywhere Annalynn appeared: title screen, cast list, cutscenes and life icons show the brother you picked.
What you need
Annalynn on Steam (Windows). Steam has to be running.
Your own Super Mario Bros. (NES) ROM. Melty looks for it on your PC and asks you to choose the file if it cannot find it. Mario, Luigi and the items are built from it.
Single player.
Nothing from either game is in this download. Sprites are built from your ROM and sounds are read from Super Mario Bros. Remastered when you press Play.
How it runs
Press Play. The launcher:
makes a private copy of your Annalynn in %LOCALAPPDATA%\SuperAnnalynnBros (about 35 MB, a few seconds) and loads the mod into that copy. Your Steam install is not touched.
finds Super Mario Bros. Remastered on your PC, or downloads its official free release once (76 MB) from its GitHub page. Mario's sounds and the sprite layouts are read from it.
builds the Mario, Luigi and item sprites from your ROM, the same way Super Mario Bros. Remastered does.
The copy keeps its own saves in %LOCALAPPDATA%\AnnaBros; your Annalynn progress and settings are copied there the first time.
Logs: %LOCALAPPDATA%\SuperAnnalynnBros\logs\latest.log (launcher) and game.log (mod).
Known limits (v0.1.0)
The artwork around the screen and the ANNALYNN logo are the original game's.
Cutscenes use a small set of Mario poses, so some scenes look stiff.
Pickaxe swings in the bonus rounds are not drawn on the brother.
Small Mario only (no Super or Fire forms); power-ups score points like the food did.
Two-player modes and the Anton character are not changed.
