Super Donkey Kong 5 (超级大金刚5) is a port of Super Donkey Kong 3 for the Game Boy Color, and it was also released by Makon Soft. Because it was released on Game Boy Color, Super Donkey Kong 5 was given a red and green color palette, like other Makon Soft titles for the handheld. Aside from the color palette, Super Donkey Kong 5 only had a few differences. The title screen and the game's packaging were taken from the Japanese box art of Diddy Kong Racing, even though the two games have no relation. The intro features a different picture, and lastly the world map and level order were changed.

Super Boogerman is a Famicom port of Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure, originally released for Sega Mega Drive and Super Nintendo. It was produced by Super Game and published by Realtec. The game is a recreation of the original Boogerman, but is considerably less faithful than Boogerman II: The Final Adventure, with a mixed-up level order and severely limited abilities for the player, which is compensated for by providing infinite ammo. Like many of Super Game's other bootlegs, this game has no ending; after the player defeats the third boss, the game merely resets.

Super Mario World (超級馬里奧世界) is a bootleg port of the SNES launch title of the same name (Super Mario World) developed by Hummer Team and released in 1995.

Digimon Adventure (aka Digimon) is a bootleg platformer for the SNES and Game Boy Advance based on Digimon. Digimon Adventure uses the same engine as Pocket Monster, thus the gameplay mechanics are the same. The game spans six levels, which include two boss fights. The only playable character is Agumon. The player can attack enemies by pressing A to shoot a fireball. Each level has a strawberry item that, once collected, transforms that the player into Greymon, who's fireball attack is much larger and stronger. Once the player loses all their lives, they're given a chance to continue, which seems to have no limit. The game steals nearly all of its graphics from numerous other sources. Of all the levels, so far the only identified source is the background from the last battle being taken from Castlevania Dracula X. The sound engine and music are also stolen from Bonkers for the SNES, which, like the game engine, is also used in Pocket Monster and Pokemon Gold and Silver.
