Play Super Mario Bros DX Blues (SMB1 Hack) Online

Game Overview

Super Mario Bros DX Blues (SMB1 Hack) is exactly what it sounds like—a blue-tinted remix of the original NES classic. The familiar levels are still there, but everything's washed in this cool, almost melancholic blue palette. It’s weirdly calming at first, until you realize the jumps feel just slightly off from muscle memory.

Some of the level tweaks are clever, like pipes leading to unexpected places or hidden blocks in spots that used to be safe. But the color shift makes depth perception tricky—more than once, I misjudged a jump because shadows blended into the background.

If you’ve played the original to death, Super Mario Bros DX Blues (SMB1 Hack) gives you a reason to pay attention again, even if it’s just to see where the next surprise is hidden.
