10 Hilariously Bad Super Mario Rip-Offs

10. Mario 16

Sometimes, a rip-off takes characters from one game and drops them into a bad approximation of another, and that's what you have with Mario 16. The game is actually a hack of Joe & Mac that was released on the Famicom back in 1993 with a re-release following three years later.

The game looks like an amalgamation of both games, but it doesn't look right due to the fact that all the Mario sprites were ripped out of Super Mario Bros. 3, and their colors look completely out of place. Essentially, Joe's sprites were swapped with Mario's, and it's all out of place.

Almost everything else in the game is identical to its original sprites, so this is little more than a strange hack-job that somehow found life on a legit Nintendo system. The gameplay is altered a little bit, as Mario starts off with ten lives instead of his usual three.

There's a different hack of this game called Mario Super Jurassk Park (That's not a typo on my part, that's how it's spelled on the cart). The title screen has the misspelled Jurassic Park logo in place of Mario, though Mario's head is altered and sitting where the "16" is in the original hack.
