Anyway, today it's a good day, because Megahog2015 has finally finished translating the first The Legendary Starfy for GBA:

Densetsu no Starfy

This is a complete translation of Densetsu no Stafy for the Game Boy Advance. In the ZIP file, ther

It's a few months old, but on Fami it hadn't been reported. kkzero has colorized Kirby's Dream Land 2, and it's just beautiful:

Kirby's Dream Land 2 DX

This is an extensive hack of Kirby's Dream Land 2 that provides support for the Game Boy Color,

Added to the OP:
F-Zero GP Legend: Inaccessible Courses added to Story Mode
Fan-remake of Fire Emblem Echoes in Sacred Stones
Fan-remake of Fire Emblem 7 in Thracia 776

OP I would update the OP and include sites for some of series listed (www.romhacking.net/www.romhacking.com/www.metroidconstruction.com/www.smwcentral.com)

Added, alongside FE Universe

Oh i got couple of romhacks in mind:

Sonic 2 with Knuckles: Sonic 2 romhack, which adds bunch of Sonic 3 stuff such as insta-shield & Tails' flight to sonic 2. Oh and Knuckles too

Sonic 3 Complete: Tweaks, fixes, and whole bunch of other options, such as change musics or ability to play either just Sonic 3, Sonic & Knuckles, Blue Spheres or whole Sonic 3 & Knuckles

Sonic 3D Blast Director's Cut: by game's original creator, this hack tries to fix some problems by fixing controls, bug fixes, and few new features, like save game. Option to play original game is also included.

Super Mario 64 Non-Stop: Wanna keep going on level after collecting a star in SM64? Well, now you can! I'm linking this improved version, because original didnt prompt you to save after getting stars.

Thanks! Added to the OP.

By the way !

Perfect Dark`` (N64) have finally been ported to PC !
Graslu, a very well known Goldeneye & Perfect Dark`` player have been in touch with the team working on the decompilation of the game and showcased updates about the port.

It is now playable from start to finish, with Keyboard & mouse support, at 4k60 FPS widescreen.

This video showcases the port and gives a link & instructions in the description. He also provides a completed savefile in case you want to explore & test all the levels and challenges on the port.

Very cool! I should add a new section to the OP with the various decompilation projects.

Is this a good place to ask about fan servers? My wife was really disappointed when Dr. Mario World's servers shutdown and all of the game's 1000+ individual levels became inaccessible. She really loved that game. There was talk of a fan server under development or some kind of fan relaunch but I could never find out where/if it materialized and I'm not sure I'm looking in the right place. I also couldn't find the discord to join. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Uhmm, I didn't know about it. I'll investigate.

This just popped up in my Youtube recommendations. It's a romhack of the first Golden Sun with a couple QOL features, such as skipping the prologue or no-cost psynergies on the overworld. Haven't tried it yet but it looks really interesting

The project's github is linked in the description of the video but I'll put it here as well: https://github.com/JackitK/GoldenSun-QOL/releases/tag/v1.0

This looks like a great hack of Link's Awakening

Super Awakening

`Super Awakening` is a `Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening` romhack for the `Super Game Boy`. Th

www.romhacking.net

It leverages Super Game Boy support to add four extra buttons, X, Y, L, and R. Items are mapped to X and Y, and cycled with L and R. Plus some other QoL features. Very clever use of the Super Game Boy.
