what is this place is a ROM hack created by thecozies for the Mario Jams Façade Competition, in which it placed 5th.
what is this place?
notes
- ground pound dives + air rollouts from dives are available (and necessary)
- ground pound jump (press A after groundpound for a large jump)
- created on console, does work in parallel and angrylion, unsure of anything else
- very unfinished
- for spoiler, read below:so chatgpt designed the entire game front to back. i asked it questions, i told it to write object code, it gave me the layout of the level, the entire story, and all of the dialog. all of the textures were generated using stable diffusion from prompts written by chatgpt itself. i didnt have time to get to a few things it suggested and may do that soon. so youre playing a game created by chatgpt in a week.

This hack has a set of custom movements added to Mario's moveset, the controls for which can be viewed in-game on the pause menu, and in the description for this hack's RHDC page.
- Air rollout: Press A while diving
- Groundpound dive: Press B while groundpounding
- Groundpound jump: Press A while groundpounding
- Recenter camera: Press R
This hack also features a 2D section after the 3D section of the hack's only level. The warp between these two areas is a rocket ship, as seen in the gallery's fourth image.
At the end of the 2D section, it is required to use one of the custom moves to make the final jump. At the end of this section, the game crashes. On RetroArch (Parallel Launcher), this crash may also cause the entire emulator to quit rather than just freezing the game.
