Having originally launched towards the end of last year, Super Mario Bros Remastered is a project aiming to revitalise the original Super Mario Bros experience in a modern engine on Windows and Linux. Featuring modernised physics, support for resource packs and custom characters, as well as a level editor with built-in level downloading via LevelShareSquare. Getting started was as simple as pointing the executable to your ROM to extract assets, and jumping straight in.

​

Releasing alongside a reveal trailer yesterday the 1.1 update adds an incredible amount to the base experience. Between a revamped level editor, a host of new course parts to play with, and the ability to create your own campaigns via level packs, this update makes what I would consider to be the best way to experience Super Mario Bros even better. For those out there who cling to the old ways, classic physics were also added as an option, mirroring the way the original NES game felt as closely as possible.

If you're interested in giving the game a shot for yourself, you can find the download below on the game's official GitHub page. Note you will be required to provide your own Super Mario Bros NES ROM.

Cool to see Mario maker on PC

Maybe someone will bring back Mario 35

Yeah, I've been hearing a lot about this game. Even the creator of Level UP Mario's Minigames Mayhem, a fangame I'm helping with, has released a few custom content for it.

Very cool, and one day it'll be exactly what I need on a rainy day.

Reminds me a bit of Super Mario Bros X if anyone remembers that. It had a pretty good level editor too for the time.

That art render is just incredible.

Having played it a bit before writing the post I personally really appreciate the modern physics. It’s hard to go back from Mario Maker, and I much prefer it to be honest. I didn’t mention it in the main post, but there’s also achievements too.

That's really neat ! I love the inclusion of every SMB iteration (Special, All Night etc). But I didn't find instructions and am confused about where custom levels can be found, how they are supposed to be loaded and how you can create your own...

If you go into the start game menu and go through all the games, there should be one at the end along the lines of custom levels. On there you can download them in app and access the level editor.

I was going to say the same thing. Kudos to the artist.

Please tell me it's not AI.

My question is, what exactly can this do that Super Mario Bros X couldn't do..? (Yes, Nintendo forced them to take down their domain at some point, but I don't think development ever ceased.)

I might also mention Mushroom Kingdom Fusion.

GitHub again? when are they going to learn?!

GitHub again when are they going to learn?

I guess in theory they are protected because the program still requires you to supply your own SMB ROM, but if they're already changing everything else, I don't see why they can't just call it Muper Sario Bros and be done with it.

God I'm so silly Thank you

This looks ace, be good if they could implement sprites and backgrounds from other super Mario bros games.

Loved that game. I completed quite a few episodes and they were a blast to play, even more in two player mode.
