History
Inspired by the likes of DahrkDaiz, ATA and other great rom hackers of the mid-2000s, Frantik started work on Super Mario Unlimited with the hopes of creating his own asm-heavy Mario masterpiece. It took close to 7 years, but eventually the game was released to the world in late 2011. Overall, The hack was well received and was even featured in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCLssqdOkbE. Despite the popularity, it was a little rough around the edges, most notably with some questionable choices near the end and a little too much of that infamous "Nintendo Hard".
In 2017 Frantik decided to go back and start adding a bit more polish, and
Super Mario Unlimited: Deluxe was born. Everything good about the original has been made better, and everything bad has been removed or at least cleaned up. This is the original vision he had when he first began 15 years ago!
