At the big VGJunk site today: it’s not quite Mario and it’s barely even a Master System game - it’s Super Bioman 1, a bootleg adventure through a Mushroom Kingdom of eternal night where the turtles are weird and the dead strike back. Read all about it here!
Unauthorized Famicom cartridge containing “Super Bros. 10: Kung Fu Mari”, a hack of Jackie Chan’s Action Kung Fu that replaces Jackie Chan’s head with Mario’s head. The artwork contains an edit of the official art of Mario for Wrecking Crew.

Cartridge label for “7 Grand Dad”, an unauthorized version of the NES game “The Flintstones: The Rescue of Dino & Hoppy“ with the head of the main character, Fred Flintstone, being replaced with Mario’s head. While the hack itself is well-known for its absurd nature, the cartridge label is usually not included in showcases of it due to most players experiencing it only in digital form.
The illustration is a collage of elements from both the Japanese Super Mario Bros. cover and the international Super Mario Land cover. The most notable part of the label is the bizarre text in the bottom left, “AND NOURISH THE BLOOD”.
