What are peoples favorite ROM Hacks? I personally like vanilla+ experiences but just want to hear what other people appreciate and why.

I’m thinking of Smash Remix for Super Smash Bros. It adds tons of content but keeps the game feeling original.

Also thinking of Maternalbound Redux, an improvement for the USA version of Earthbound

Pacman Championship Edition demake for NES

    I haven’t really played any romhacks besides one. A while ago I played through the Gold Quest for Ocarina of Time. It’s like an upgraded version of Master Quest: remixed dungeons, enemies added in different locations, items have been moved to different locations, and some changes to the world outside of dungeons. Great for anyone that wants a more challenging version of OOT.

    I’ve also been watching a friend play through a Pikmin romhack called Bikmin 269. This game is straddling the line between a shitpost and a fever dream. You collect NFTs and Bitcoins, the ground texture is layered images of Shaggy from Scooby Doo, the space ship is a T-posing Luigi, and one type of Pikmin is a “mushroom” that looks suspiciously penis-like… It’s a nightmare in the best possible way

      I’ll have to give Gold Quest a look. It seems crazy to think somebody dared to mod such a classic game
