I'm not into the emulation scene and I don't do game hacks. My interest in these things is purely peripheral. I don't have the inclination to try it myself but I love to see what other people come up with. While looking around YouTube for something completely different, I found a video of what Mario's first 3-D adventure might have looked like if it had stuck with the NES aesthetic. Video beneath the fold.
That is pretty neat. It makes me want to see what other 3-D games would look like if given a similar retro face lift. Oh yeah, and for the curious, the sounds in the background seem to be coming from somebody playing a Mega Man X game.
