Nineteenth-century Super Mario knockoff showcases offbeat humor unusually

In the world of video games, nostalgia often reigns supreme, and a recent find on YouTube has sent waves of excitement through the gaming community. A full clip of a Korean Super Mario bootleg from 1992, titled 'Super Boy 4', has been posted, offering a glimpse into the past and the popularity of bootleg games during that era.

'Super Boy 4' is a clone of Super Mario with some odd differences that make it unique. For instance, the design of Super Boy closely resembles Mario, including his outfit and shape, but there are some intriguing variations. For example, Mario drinks milk in Super Boy 4, and Princess Peach appears older than Super Boy in this iteration.

The background in Super Boy 4 is almost identical to Super Mario, with familiar landscapes and obstacles. However, one of the most interesting aspects is the inclusion of Red Yoshis, which can be found wandering around the game.

The Samsung Gam*Boy, on which Super Boy 4 was designed, was a localized version of the Sega Master System. Other games you could buy for this handheld console included Alex the Kidd and Sonic the Hedgehog, making it a popular choice for gamers in the '90s.

Interestingly, the search results do not provide information about the manufacturer of 'Super Boy 4'. However, it's worth noting that the Samsung GamBoy later rebranded as the 'Aladdin GamBoy' to tie in with the Disney movie.

Creatives are even making their own versions of Mario, such as the Unreal Engine 5 project remaking Super Mario in 3D. But for those who want a taste of the past, 'Super Boy 4' offers an interesting alternative, with its unique twists on the classic Super Mario gameplay.

In addition, a new accessory release for the Switch 2, the PNY, aims to address the issue of running out of space. As gaming libraries continue to grow, solutions like these are essential for gamers who want to keep their collections expanding.

Whether you're a fan of the original Super Mario or a curious gamer looking to explore the past, 'Super Boy 4' is worth a try. Its oddities and similarities to the original game make it a fascinating piece of gaming history.
