Some of the most
spectacular pirated cartridges have come out of Hong
Kong. Not only can you find a high volume of pirated
licensed games, but you can also find many unique
hacks of licensed games.
A cart that looks unique likely is not unique.
Made in 1996, the Super HIK 4 in 1 truly is
a great find because not only does it have
Street Fighter on it, but also a unique hack
called Super Mario Sonik 2. When it comes to
Street Fighter pirates, many of them are
marketed by the number of fighters the game
includes. This one is listed as having "56 Peoples."
Street Fighter IV is not all that rare, but
with Mario hack in, it is.
56 fighters means there's a lot of repeat fighters.

Nice looking background graphics.
Super Mario Sonik 2 is not neither a port
nor an original. It's a hack of Chip N' Dale's
Rescue Rangers. The game includes a great title
screen hack, complete with Mario and a poorly
crafted Sonic the Hedgehog.
Why spell Sonic wrong, but spell Mario correctly?
Mario looks out of place in Chip N' Dale's Rescue
Rangers.
This pirate would do quite well if sold, raking
in over $20 and possible as much as $30. Not only
does this have a great Street Fighter port on
it, but it's also got a unique hack, one that's very
uncommon and won't pop up too often, if at all.
Here's the games list:
Dragon Ball Z II; Street Fighter 56; Mario Sonic
II; Revolution Heroes.
