Celeste Mario’s Zap & Dash! ( https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/7915/ ) is a ROM hack of Super Mario Bros. ( https://tasvideos.org/1G ), released in July 2023 as a precursor to the work-in-progress Mario Machina. Described by its main creator w7n as a “hastily done minihack”, it is the most technically impressive hack of this game by far, with heavy modifications to almost the entire game engine. The player progresses through a mostly linear world, using walljumps, Celeste-style dashes and various features in the level design to assist movement. The main collectables in the game are moons, which serve as a measure of completion as well as increasing the maximum number of dashes the player is able to store.
chbld ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/chbld ), fella8 ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/fella8 ) and Riyan ( https://tasvideos.org/Users/Profile/Riyan ), however, do not collect any moons on their way and opt to dash through the game in record time.
