I pretty simple translation hack of the beloved classic Super Mario Bros that turns translates all text in the game into Danish, including the title screen.

I made this hack way back in 2020. (4 years to this day in fact) but never got around to publish it so I felt now was as good time as any to just throw it out there for anyone curious to try it out

There isn’t really that much text to actually find in the original Super Mario Bros so the hack sure ain’t pushing no boundaries and is pretty rudimentary.
That being said, it was still a little tricky to find space for the additional Danish characters (Æ,Ø, and Å) but I was able to locate some duplicate tiles in the ROM that I was able to swap out for the new ones and I do feel I’ve been pretty thorough at tracking down every instance of text there was to find in the game and translate it.

I know this whole hack is more of a curiosity than anything but it was a nice early exercise for me and honestly Super Mario Bros should see a translation into every language possible just for the heck of it
But I digress. I hope this hack might at least scratch an its for some people and I hope you’ll enjoy it.

Like I mentioned, I’ve been combing through the hack many many times to make sure everything is neat and clean and have been unable to locate anything that needs tweaking so I consider this hack complete without any need for any revisions unless a small typo or something is brought to my attention.

Det er ikke rigtigt til at komme udenom. Super Mario Bros SKAL da have en Dansk oversættelse, selvom der ikke nødvendigvis er særig meget reel tekst at finde i spillet så føles det bare rigtigt at den nu også kan nydes på ens modersmål.

Der er her tale om en ret simpel og ligetil translation hack som ikke byder på noget dybere end at oversætte alle de Engelske elementer til Dansk. Dvs. titel skærmen, de få dialoger og generelle ting.

Super Mario Bros er et spil der stortset benytter NES ROMens fulde lagringskapacitet så al data er pakket meget tæt og det er ikke let at få plads til nye elementer.
På trods af det lykkedes et mig pudsigt nok alligevel at find nogle identiske stykker grafik hvoraf den ene kunne ofres for at gøre plads til Æ, Ø og Å symbolernne uden at skulle erstatte andre vigtige ting.

Jeg vil selv mene jeg har været ret så grundig med at finde en hver lille smule tekst der kunne oversættes og også sætte den nye tekst op så det var centretet ordenligt og pænt at se på
Så med mindre jeg skulle have overset noget så betragter jeg denne hack som komplet uden behov for yderligere revisioner.

Jeg ved at Super Mario Bros næppe er et spil der bare skreg efter en Dansk oversættelse for at kunne nydes odenlig og er mest af alt nok mest for pudsigheden og nysgerigheden i at se en klassikker på godt gammelt Dansk og det håber jeg at den formår.
