Hello clone
A Hello clone (sometimes know as a typical Hello game) is a described as a game that uses the infamous Hello Mario Engine, but consists of changed music and levels, but lacks the actual modification of the engine itself. Most typical Hello clones also use the Super Mario Advance 4 or Super Mario All-Stars sprites. The resulting over-use of these sprites is also a large part of why they are looked down upon. There are a surplus of Hello clones on the main Mario Fan Games Galaxy site. They usually do not receive positive reviews, as they are commonly overused.
Hello Clone Examples
Hello Clone (Supernova)
On August 7th, 2012, Supernova released a short game called Hello Clone, to which he claimed it was a typical Hello SMB game. The first few levels are just generic grassland levels, but the game gradually becomes less similar to a typical Hello clone. One level features a pogo-stick, while another includes battling a Mario Nazi. The game has gotten positive reception for being so much more imaginative than a Hello clone.
