This looks awesome! A bit of a big download, but the screenshot forces me to try it. ^.^

Suicizer | 2010-01-10 16:21

this is the best "mario"mod ive ever seen :D! the sounds are very nice, monsters are awesome and textures to! to bad its not a stand alone mod yet becaues of:
i was able to connect sauerbraten server 0.0!
i was able to do /newent riflerounds, while there arent any rifle rounds in the hole game (even tough you just get a mushroom with the textures of the default pickup from riflerounds) :S!

another 1 small problem, it says at end "unknown alias: flagboss".
theres a small mistake at the 2nd last respawnpoint of the map.

p.s. how the heck you made, that if i go back to desktop with windows button, the mouse isnt able to move around anymore?

anyways, great mod :D!

skiingpenguins | 2010-01-10 16:26

i believe that mouse thing is a bug, as it has happened to me in svn but eihrul fixed it.

Suicizer | 2010-01-10 16:36

after searching for more things, i found out your able to play all modes just like on trooper edition, on this mod :P. you only just wont get a saw and a pistol but for the rest you can get by using the keys 1 till 5...

Thanks for the good comments. Regarding the weapons, I designed this game for only two. The Grenade 'Mushroom' launcher and the Rocket 'Mushroom' launcher. Thats all you need. I wiil remove all other weapons in the final release. There is a lot of things still on my todo list ie, A new player model ( other than Inky) that works in 3rd person view. new player weapons and also I need a way of keeping a total of player deaths. Any help or advice with this would be appreciated.

BTW my son just scored 170454 pts / 656 coins in 667 sec !!

Suicizer | 2010-01-10 17:59

you can already put on thirdperson by putting "thirdperson 1" into autoexec.

btw, you can still set the playermodel to ogro by using /playermodel 0

I downloaded this expecting a boring game filled with bugs, with the source code intact and rubbish gameplay. What I saw however, was a well planned FPS-platformer, obviously Mario-inspired, and with lots of new content.

What first hit me was the stolen Mario music - you may want to remove that. Besides that, the game was pretty fun, with obvious progression. The monsters were interesting but a bit too hard to kill with the supplied weaponry. Also it may be a good idea to show a bit more clearly when the monsters are dead.

The voices for the spawn points and the health boost were a bit wierd. I suppose they're supposed to be "fun". :P

I see that some of the last level had bits copied from Spiralz. However, it was put to good use, rather than just being put in there as a "LOOK IVE GOT CURVEZ LOL" gesture.

Overall, a pretty good effort. I enjoyed playing this. Well done.

(I ran this mod though crossover/wine, although running it natively should not be that difficult.)

Right now, the mod is really interesting and I see that some lots of work went into creating it, but overall I just did not find it fun to play. To me it felt like a 3D port of a 2D platformer. The gameplay and maps were perhaps so focused on capturing the feel of Mario Bros, that they fail to recognize that this game is unique. Take Super Mario 64 for example. Although that game is instantly recognizable to anyone who played earlier 2D Mario games, the maps and gameplay of Super Mario 64 are designed around the 3D nature of the world.

The maps are probably to blame for this, but I think a good 3D platformer also will require a greater range and precision of character movement. The other option I see is creating a 3D side-scroller.

I like it, pretty awesome.

Nope , you can look on links here -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53HdVfjdsYY

Mmeaninglez | 2013-08-31 22:10

Well, I never know about this. I just played through it, and it's... ...interesting.

zombie-apocalypse | 2013-09-08 11:32

I would love to play this but the file is down o.O

Suicizer | 2013-09-08 13:39

If you would have read other comments, you would have found out that someone already gave a link to a youtube movie which has a download link in the description.
I've updated the link now as being identical to the one on the youtube movie (as I personally actually enjoyed playing this cute mod back in the days).
