Mario in Sonic Battle
About the Game
Welcome to a new game from the world of Mario bros and Sega Universe. This one is the latest crossover where you will meet two of Nintendo's most recognized characters. They are none other than Sonic and Mario Bros! We are inviting you to join us in this Sonic Battle, where you can either play story mode or fight mode. Mario in Sonic Battle is a fan-made ROM hack based on Sonic Battle for the Game Boy Advance. The hack replaces Sonic with Mario as a playable character while keeping the original game structure, story, and battle system. It is an unofficial fan project and is not an official release from Nintendo or Sega.
The primary goal of the hack is to present Mario inside the world of Sonic Battle without changing the game's core mechanics.
🍄 Mario Takes Sonic's Place
The most noticeable change is the playable character.
Instead of controlling Sonic, you control Mario. The hack replaces Sonic's character sprite with Mario, while the remaining cast from Sonic Battle stays the same.
Mario participates in the original story and battles that were designed for Sonic.
🥊 Classic Sonic Battle Gameplay
The gameplay remains identical to the original Sonic Battle.
During battles, you can:
- Perform standard attacks
- Use special attacks
- Jump
- Dodge incoming attacks
- Build your attack gauge
- Fight inside enclosed arenas
Victory depends on reducing your opponent's health before the match ends.
📖 Original Story Mode
The ROM hack does not introduce a new storyline.
You experience the same adventure found in Sonic Battle, including encounters with:
- Emerl
- Tails
- Knuckles
- Amy Rose
- Shadow
- Rouge
- Dr. Eggman
Only Sonic's appearance has been replaced with Mario.
