The Super Mario Bros. 3 'rainbow riding' LUA hack
Adding to the insanity of Xkeeper's original drag and drop Super Mario Bros hack, the FCEUX emulator includes a second LUA script that turns Super Mario Bros. 3 into the DS game Nintendo never made.
The hack disables direct control of Mario completely, and only allows you to manipulate him (and protect him from the rest of the world) via mouse-drawn lines ala the DS's Kirby Canvas Curse and Atari's The Chase. Admittedly still a bit rough around the edges, but still incredible to see the depth of remixing possible running directly from the original game.

If i'm not wrong, there's a game like this on the DS, it's called Yoshi whatever.
I bought it for my nephew this christmas, and you can't control Yoshi, just draw lines to help him cross, or click on him to make him jump, or trap baddies in circles...

Stygyan, it sounds like you're describing Kirby Canvas Curse (mentioned above) which is the inspiration for this hack.
This is really cool, all we need now is a version that runs on a hacked NES with a wiimote or something... ;)

Actually, Stygyan was describing Yoshi: Touch & Go, which was a DS launch title. It came before Canvas Curse, and isn't nearly as fun, except for the fact that it has Yoshi. It's basically just a couple of levels, and you compete to beat your high score, old-school style. Apparently it started as a sort of a demonstration of the possibilities of the touch screen, but Nintendo sold it as though it was a more fleshed out game. It's worth picking up now since it can be found used for absolutely cheap. Makes a decent time killer for a short bus ride.
Regardless, I'd rather play this SMB3 hack than either Touch & Go or Canvas Curse.
Let's get FCEUX ported to Darwin... Any takers?
