Super Mario Bros. 6 is a fan-driven and unofficial title representing two primary projects circulating in retro gaming and fan-made platformer communities. The first is a ROM hack of the NES game Tiny Toon Adventures, modified visually to resemble a classic Mario platformer. The second is an original fan-made storyline called New Super Mario Bros. 6: The Great Journey, which introduces custom worlds and lore into the Mario universe.
🔧 NES Hack Version Highlights
The ROM-hacked version mimics the visual design of Super Mario Bros. 3, while retaining the engine and level structure of Tiny Toon Adventures.
🧱 Sprites replaced with Mario-style visuals
🎮 Gameplay physics remain consistent with the original Tiny Toon engine
🏁 Title screen updated to display “Super Bros. 6” in SMB3-style font

This bootleg is commonly found on multicart NES ROM collections labeled as “199-in-1” or “Super Game Series” and has gained attention for its odd but playable mashup of franchises.
🌍 Super Mario Bros. 6: The Great Journey – A Fan Storyline Expansion
The fan-created New Super Mario Bros. 6: The Great Journey explores a detailed custom storyline. It introduces new characters, original worlds, and scripted cutscenes within a Mario-style side-scrolling platformer.
🧾 Plot Overview Bowser launches an attack on Peach’s Castle with the help of the Koopalings. Mario, Luigi, and a new character—Prince Frog Toadstool—are scattered across unfamiliar lands in the chaos. The game centers around their journey across themed zones to regroup and take down Bowser’s new empire.
🗺️ Notable Game Elements:
🐢 Koopalings return with new in-fighting scenes and character arcs
🌊 First stage begins in Loot Lake, a swampy biome filled with traps
👑 New allies and boss fights tailored to each region
This version stands out for its narrative depth and is often published on fan wikis like Fantendo.
🕹️ Platforms, Controls & Community Insight
Since both versions are unofficial, they are distributed through emulators, fan forums, and NES ROM sharing sites. The Great Journey is built using Super Mario Bros. X (SMBX) or Super Mario Flash engine, making it playable on PC without special hardware.
