The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A clever single-level Mario hack where absorbing enemy powers Kirby-style won a level design competition.

About

This rom hack only has one level, but it features different mechanics that allow Mario to absorb the powers of some enemies, in a similar way to Kirby. This rom hack was made to participate in SMW Central's Chocolate Level Design 2010 contest and came in first place.
