Amigos brasileiros: o zip contém uma versão 100% em português BR!
The Super Pitfall 30th Anniversary Edition is a ROM hack made by nesrocks for the NES game Super Pitfall originally programmed by micronics and released for the famicom first in 1986. It works on a NES and emulators, powerpaks, etc!
The hack aims to update the game to be more enjoyable today with revised game design and improved graphics, while trying to maintain the original concept and feel of exploration intact. I have tried to keep the level design the same too, otherwise it just wouldn’t be the same game. There are just a few differences here and there, see if you can spot them.
Some of the changes include:
- Completely new graphics
- Completely new songs
- Items are not invisible anymore
- Warps are now doors you can enter
- The hud shows important item collection progress
- Automatically saved progress
- Some bugs have been fixed
- Improved performance
Patching Instructions:
1- Download Super Pitfall 30th A.E
2- Get your Super Pitfall USA ROM (please legally own the game). Make a BACKUP of it!
4- Open lunar ips, click “Apply IPS Patch”. Locate the ips file contained in the zip.
5- Locate the Super Pitfall ROM to apply the patch to.
Done! Now play it on your NES emulator of preference!

Cool graphics! My favorite thing is the shadowy plants in the background
Five year-old me was incredibly fascinated by the world of this game and the capriciousness of the dangers, and tried my darndest to get past the big stone head.
After watching long plays of it, I see it was the least of my worries.
But despite its deplorable mechanics, it will always have a special place in my heart because of how fundamentally different it felt from other games, how mysterious it was and how intentionally cruel it felt.
Thanks for seeing the potential in this game and devoting the time to this incredible remake!
HELLO MY DEAR FRIEND, MY REASON IS TO MAKE YOU KNOW THAT IN SUPER PITFALL FOR THE NES THERE IS AN UNPUBLISHED SECRET WORLD, DIFFERENT FROM THE 2 WORLDS ALREADY KNOWN, I HAVE SEARCHED THE INTERNET FOR INFORMATION, BUT I HAVE NOT FOUND ANYTHING YET.
IT ALL STARTED ONE AFTERNOON IN 1991 AT THE AGE OF 8, I WAS READY TO PLAY SUPER PITFALL IN THE ORIGINAL NES WITH THE ORIGINAL CASSETTE, AFTER INSERTING THE CASSETTE IN THE NES AND AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS TO INSERT THE CASSETTE THE INITIAL MENU SCREEN APPEARED BUT SHOWING IT WRONG WITH STRIPES AND DEFORMED SPRITES, EVEN THOUGH I PRESSED THE “START” BUTTON, TO MY SURPRISE I APPEARED IN A DIFFERENT WORLD WITH A HIGH DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY, WHICH IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE FOLLOWING:
1.- THERE WERE SEVERAL STONE HEADS ON THE CEILING THAT ATTACKED YOU IN A “DIAGONAL” FORM. THEY RETURNED TO THEIR PLACE ON THE CEILING AND ATTACKED YOU AGAIN IF YOU STAYED CLOSE.
2.- THERE WERE SEVERAL SPACES WITH PEAKS WITH A LOT OF DISTANCE, REQUIRING A LONG JUMP TO ACHIEVE THE CROSS.
3.- YOU STARTED IN THE CENTER AND YOU COULD WALK LEFT AND RIGHT THROUGH DIFFERENT PATHS.
4.- THE TYPE OF MATERIAL OF THE WALLS WAS GRAY, THE SAME AS THAT IN THE LOWEST AREA IN THE VOLCANIC LAVA NEAR THE GLOBE.
5.- THERE WERE SEVERAL BATS FLYING AT DIFFERENT HEIGHTS AND DIRECTIONS.
BECAUSE OF THE HIGH DEGREE OF DIFFICULTY I COULD NOT ADVANCE MUCH IN THIS WORLD, I PLAYED 3 LIVES IN THIS WORLD AND AFTER “GAME OVER” APPEARED, PRESS “START” AGAIN BUT THIS TIME I STARTED AT THE BEGINNING OF THE NORMAL WORLD.
I HAD PLAYED IT FOR A COUPLE OF WEEKS, I THOUGHT THAT DUE TO AN ERROR OF THE CASSETTE BEING WRONGLY INSERTED I HAD TELETRANSPORTED ME TO AN AREA FURTHER AHEAD OF THE LAVA AND THAT AT SOME TIME I WOULD REACH THAT AREA, BUT AS TIME PASSED AND I TRAVELED THROUGHOUT THE NORMAL WORLD AND THE DARK WORLD, I REALIZED THAT AREA WAS NOWHERE.
TIME PASSED AND NOW I WOULD LIKE TO FIND THAT SECRET WORLD THAT I PLAY AT MY 8 YEARS OLD, I HAVE SEARCHED FOR A LONG TIME ON THE INTERNET WITHOUT FINDING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS SECRET WORLD THAT TELEPORTED ME AN ERROR IN THE ORIGINAL CASSETTE WRONGLY INSERTED, ¿WAS IT THAT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHAT HAS PLAYED IN THIS SECRET WORLD UNTIL TODAY?
I DON’T HAVE THE PROGRAMMING KNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE, THAT WORLD HAS TO BE SOMEWHERE ON THE CASSETTE, I WOULD BE VERY GLAD IF YOU HELP ME FIND THIS SECRET WORLD WHICH IS STILL UNPUBLISHED, I HOPE YOU CAN FIND IT AND SHARE THE ROM FOR ME TO START A NEW UNPUBLISHED ADVENTURE IN THIS THIRD SECRET WORLD OF SUPER PITFALL, I ONLY ASK TO BE MENTIONED IN THE CREDITS AND THAT MY STORY BE KNOWN, THAT EVERYONE CAN ENJOY THIS UNPUBLISHED AND SECRET ADVENTURE OF SUPER PITFALL.
I PLAYED ITS 30TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION, BUT I ALSO DIDN’T FIND THIS SECRET WORLD I WAS PLAYING IN OVER 30 YEARS AGO, I WOULD BE GLAD TO FIND IT, PLAY IT AGAIN AND THIS TIME BE ABLE TO GO THROUGH IT COMPLETELY.
THE PHRASE THAT APPEARS AT THE END OF THE GAME:
YOU COMPLETED THE ADVENTURE THE LOST CAVERNS, “PLEASE TRY ANOTHER WORLD”
IT LEAVE ME WITH CONCERN, WHAT IS YOU REFERRING TO WITH “PLEASE TRY ANOTHER WORLD”, IS THERE ANOTHER WORLD? I KNOW THAT IT DOES EXIST, I WAS THERE MORE THAN 30 YEARS AGO, IT WAS NOT JUST A TEST LEVEL OR HALF, IT’S A FULLY FUNCTIONAL LEVEL, BUT IT’S NOT PART OF EITHER OF THE 2 KNOWN WORLDS, I’VE ALREADY TRAVELED THEM EVEN GETTING INTO THE WALLS EVERYWHERE, INCH BY INCH, IT’S NOT PART OF THESE 2 WORLDS BUT IT EXISTS SOMEWHERE ON THE CASSETTE, HELP ME TO FIND IT PLEASE, THANK YOU.
