Awesome! I need to try this out!

 

[jalaneme]

yeah i like it so far, it has all the sounds from the old super mario bros on the gameboy, mario worlds sprites and graphics, and a bit of new gameplay mixed into it.

 

[pilotwangs]

cool,i played the first version.

 

[kallekall]

I hate the physic. But the graphic is great.

 

[Minox]

Looks nice, maybe I'll try it out.

 

[dilav]

[nephdj]

I don't like criticising developers because of my HUGE admiration in the effort these people put into their projects.
I do agree somewhat.
The jumping is a tad stiff/unresponsive and in some areas enemies pop into view - instant kill if small mario

Love the new enemies

Koopa Bomb, the sphinx

Looking forward to the rest

Koopa Bomb

Two fantastic-looking homebrewed GBA games in a month or so - this is fun!

I can't see why you couldn't test it for yourself but I did for you: it works.

I'll be reviewing this for the Temper Post, but if anyone else would like to - give me a holler

Game is good, though I had problems with jumping and falling on the last one - hope this new version fixes that.

 

[RupeeClock]

I gave this a try, the level design is good, and I like the original music, but the jumping is just so, urgh.
Walking has like no acceleration or deceleration, and that can really throw you off.

This game looks really cool, but I have to confess that I am a noob in this area, so can't get it to work on my Nintendo with a M3 Real card. Any tips would be welcome!

You need either a GBA Flashcart, a GBA Expansion Pack or a GBA Emulator (eg for PC). You can't run it directly from a DS cart.

Oh, god... please, don't get this game... it sucks!!!

If you really want to play this, I'll give you some advice... shoot yourself in the foot, it'll be more fun!

It's a bad hash of the original Mario on the Gameboy... the black and white game boy... the controls are STIFF! When you jump on a goomba or koopa troopa, you fly straight up, and can't change direction. The koopa troopa's explode like a Bomb-omb, or the org. koopa troopa's from the GB version. The levels are almost identical (from the 3 I played).

Stay away!

I commend the guy/guy's who made it, the graphics are nicer, but the sound and controls just plain suck!

Also you can't hit a Goomba walking on a block above you - but you can with a Koopa
