My personal collection of Super Nintendo Romhacks, in an already patched and ready to play ROM format. Most (if not all) games are patched by myself, but not all are tested. Each .sfc and .smc file comes with a description, copied from the places where I downloaded the Romhacks (but sometimes also from README files, random blogs and other websites too).
- 1009 Romhacks across 174 different games (or across 169 games, depending on how you process data and count).
- Download one package size: 406 MB
- Unpacked size: 2.7 GB

Fucking legendary. I’ve been wanting to get into hacks again, but finding them and patching them takes time.
Thank you!
Enjoy. :-) Every day there are new or updated ones (I mean on the websites where I get them). This keeps me busy and can’t wait to update this package next year again. :-p
Which ones do you particularly recommend?
This is a tough question to answer, there is so much to choose from. I didn’t play most of them. But I think there are interesting ones as a starting point:
Super Mario World_
- Hack: Series of short mods with interesting gimmics and level ideas.
- 'the: A non jump and run game, more like an atmospheric adventure, a creepypasta experience.
- Castlemania: Inspired by NES Castlevania style and retro look, a hard game.
- SMW Friends and Rivalry: A more traditional Mario like level design. Full on game with over 90 levels
Chrono Trigger_
- Crimson Echoes: A very high quality production and maybe the best Chrono Trigger Romhack. This was actually never really finished officially, because it got hit by a cease and desist by Square. There is also Flames of Eternity, which took Crimson Echoes and worked on it without permission. Therefore its very controversal.
- Prophets Guile: From the same guys who made Crimson Echoes, another high quality mod. This one is short. It tells the story of Magus, how he rise to power in Kingdom of Zeal.
Final Fantasy 6_
There are actually lots of these complete rebalance and feature rich improvements. I just picked on of them here.
- A Soldiers Contingency (Extended Bestiary Edition): Comprehensive gameplay expansion and overhaul. It’s still the same game, but less tedious battles and no grinding, rebalancing and ton of features and addons.
Super Mario Kart_
- Hyper Street Kart: With characters and items from Street Fighter. It is not the best mod, but noteworthy theme and very popular.
- Mario Kart R: Another popular mod. Has new courses, music and graphics.
- Reverse (Mirror Mode): If you just want to play the same game, but racing to the other direction instead.
F-Zero_
- BS F-Zero Deluxe US: (play v1.1) This one has a very interesting story behind. It is based on the lost BS F-Zero game. Only video footage existed and some fans worked on it to recreate the tracks with computer aided functionalities. The result is very accurate, as if they had the real game. I highly recommend to read articles in the web about this very special mod: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2024/02/f-zero-courses-from-a-dead-nintendo-satellite-service-restored-using-vhs-and-ai/
Zelda 3_
- Parallel Remodel: A rework on one of the most popular and old Romhacks for this game, called Parallel Worlds that was known for extreme difficulty. This tries to make it better playable and fair.
- The Hunters Song: A relatively new mod, with 3 new dungeons and story. I actually don’t know too much about this one, it seems to be popular.
- Conkers High Rule Tail: A complete change fo the game. Play as Conker from Conkers BAd Fur Day with lots of new stuff.
Super Metroid_
- Redesign Axeil Edition: Another rework of a classic mod named Redesign, that tries to make it better playable. There are new items, changed physics, new abilities and so on. Still a hard game to play.
- Ancient Chozo: It is based off the original maps, but expands it with new rooms, graphics, puzzles, music and so on.
Star Fox_
- EX: (just play v1.11) New levels, bosses, musics, graphics and ton of features! Play in wireframe mode or use SNES mouse.
- Sunlits STar Fox Minihack: (just play FastRom version) 6 new levels basically. I don’t have much information, but people like it.
Donkey Kong Country_
- Kremlings Revenge Remodel: It is a rework of an older mod. There are new graphics, levels and bonuses. Should be as difficult as the original game.
Look into their description, to learn a bit more before getting into. Or just run them and see what you get.
Small note on the download speed of Internet Archive. I think they throttle downloads outside from the US. A VPN might help (it made a huge difference for me in the past), but no guarantees.
Am outside US, downloaded with 5 MB/s. Thanks for sharing!
