Chrono Trigger

• Chrono Trigger
Release Date: 1995
Genre: RPG
Players: 1–2

• Description - Chrono Trigger is a turn-based RPG from Square that follows Crono and his allies through different time periods as they try to stop a world-ending threat. It is known for its time travel story, memorable cast, combo attacks, and one of the most beloved battle systems of the 16-bit era.

• Co-op Experience - This hack adds co-op support during battles. A second player can control party members in combat, splitting up the turn-based actions between players instead of one person handling the entire party.

Donkey Kong Country

• Donkey Kong Country
Release Date: 1994
Genre: Platformer
Players: 1–2

• Description - Donkey Kong Country is a side-scrolling platformer starring Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong as they travel across Donkey Kong Island to recover their stolen banana hoard. It combines fast platforming, animal buddies, mine cart stages, and pre-rendered visuals that became one of the SNES’s signature looks.

• Co-op Experience - This hack changes the original tag-team system into simultaneous co-op, letting both players control Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong on screen at the same time. It is more of a proof of concept than a polished full conversion, but it shows what true co-op in Donkey Kong Country could have looked like.

Final Fight

• Final Fight
Release Date: 1991
Genre: Beat ’em Up
Players: 1–2

• Description - Final Fight is a side-scrolling beat ’em up where Cody, Guy, and Haggar fight through Metro City to rescue Jessica from the Mad Gear gang. The SNES version was a famous downgrade from the arcade original, cutting content and removing the multiplayer that helped define the game.

• Co-op Experience - This hack restores the missing two-player co-op to the SNES version, allowing both players to fight through the full game together at the same time instead of being stuck with a single-player-only port.

The Lost Vikings II

• The Lost Vikings II
Release Date: 1997
Genre: Puzzle Platformer
Players: 1–3

• Description - The Lost Vikings II is a puzzle platformer where players guide a group of heroes with unique abilities through trap-filled levels and environmental puzzles. Progress depends on using each character’s strengths to solve platforming and logic-based challenges.

• Co-op Experience - This hack expands the game into a three-player experience so each player can directly control one character. Instead of one player switching between everyone, the puzzle-solving can be divided across the full team in real time.

Super Mario RPG

• Super Mario RPG
Release Date: 1996
Genre: RPG
Players: 1–3

• Description - Super Mario RPG is a turn-based role-playing game that brings Mario, Bowser, Peach, and other characters together in a larger adventure against Smithy and his gang. It mixes traditional RPG progression with timed hits, light platforming, and a much more approachable structure than many RPGs of its time.

• Co-op Experience - This hack adds multiplayer during battles and allows up to three players to split control of the party. Each player can be assigned a character in combat, turning the battles into a shared experience instead of one player controlling every action.

Secret of Evermore

• Secret of Evermore
Release Date: 1995
Genre: Action RPG
Players: 1–2

• Description - Secret of Evermore is an action RPG from Square that follows a boy and his dog as they travel through strange themed worlds inspired by fantasy, sci-fi, and prehistory. It uses real-time combat, exploration, weapon upgrades, and alchemy systems that make it feel closely related to the Mana series.

• Co-op Experience - This hack adds full two-player support by letting a second player control the dog companion. That turns Secret of Evermore into the kind of shared action RPG experience it always felt like it should have been.

Seiken Densetsu 3

• Seiken Densetsu 3
Release Date: 1995
Genre: Action RPG
Players: 1–3

• Description - Seiken Densetsu 3 is the Super Famicom sequel to Secret of Mana and one of the most ambitious action RPGs on the system. It features multiple playable characters, branching story paths, real-time combat, class upgrades, and a much larger scope than its predecessor.

• Co-op Experience - The original game supported only two-player co-op, but this hack expands it to full three-player support. That means all three active party members can now be controlled by separate players at the same time.

Star Fox Exploration Showcase

• Star Fox Exploration Showcase
Release Date: 1993
Genre: Rail Shooter / Technical Demo
Players: 1–5

• Description - Star Fox is a 3D rail shooter built around polygonal space combat and branching mission routes. This modified version turns the original game into more of a free-roaming technical showcase and expands heavily on the original with additional features and systems.

• Co-op Experience - This hack adds multiplayer ship support, allowing up to five players to fly together at the same time. It is far beyond a simple co-op patch and works more like a full multiplayer reimagining of Star Fox than just a basic hack.

Super Mario World

• Super Mario World
Release Date: 1990
Genre: Platformer
Players: 1–2

• Description - Super Mario World is a side-scrolling platformer where Mario and Luigi travel across Dinosaur Land to rescue Princess Peach from Bowser. It introduced Yoshi, secret exits, a large overworld map, and some of the strongest level design on the SNES.

• Co-op Experience - This hack changes the original alternating multiplayer into simultaneous co-op so both players can control Mario and Luigi together on screen at the same time. It also makes some changes beyond just multiplayer, so it is not a perfect one-to-one version of the original game.
