"Rare" Super Mario Bros. IV Hits eBay

ULTRA RAREIt's not often that we see an ultra-rare copy of Super Mario Bros. IV for the NES, let alone one going for the low, low price of only $149.99. The game's rarity is most commonly chalked up to the fact that it doesn't really exist. Yet, today, we are lucky enough to bask in the presence of its eBay auction.

What's being sold is unfortunately nothing more than a hacked ROM with a Super Mario Land meets Famicom label slapped on. The screenshots look like nothing more than a modified Super Mario Bros. 3 featuring some amatuer level and sprite editing and I'm fairly certain one could find this pirated ROM in the dark corners of the internet and save themselves some cash.

But if 150 bucks is just a drop in the bucket in your world for a "rare" NES curiosity such as this, go nuts. Me, I'll hunt it down and look for my old NESticle executable.

Update: Hey! It's a hacked version of Armadillo! Thanks, MegaSeven.
