You’ll Wants to Grab Super Mario Bros X 2.0 While You Still Can!

Post by Hawq »

Nintendo is on the copyright warpath recently, sure they have a long history of DMCA takedowns, most companies do. However, this last year, as we build up to the release of their new console, it’s almost like they’ve been going out of their way to alienate every segment of their fanbase, in one form or another. It’s for that reason we think that many Nintendo fans will want to know that Super Mario Bros X 2.0 exists, so they can download and enjoy it before it’s e-nuked into oblivion my the mighty N.

“Play existing stages as your favourite characters – from Samus to Megaman! Even Snake and Klonoa are here! Or design your own stages and episodes around their unique abilities!” -Horikawaotane

We’ve all seen our fair share of Mario clones, but this one goes that bit further. Expanding and improving the levels, and allowing you to play as a wide range of characters, some not even strictly from Nintendo systems. Rather than the usual sprite swap, this version uses a custom game engine to allow you to play in different ways, explore the levels in unique ways, and more.

“Tons of new NPCs are on the way, but for now get a taste of Magikoopa, Maverick Thwomp, and more!”

Klonoa, Juni, Uncle Broadsword, Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad, Link, Megaman, Wario, Bowser, Ninja Bomberman, Rosalina, Snake, Zelda and Samus are on offer here, with their usual ability sets for you to enjoy too. On top of that, you’ll find a level editor, meaning the fun just doesn’t have to stop.

Grab the download from the official website here.

That is so much work for something that violates so many copyrights. I love people that make awesome fan games and ROM hacks, but the amount of ripped assets here is just excessive.

Yea they've gone way over board using different characters from Nintendo games. No wonder Nintendo wants to shut it down.

It's not just Nintendo games. He has Capcom, Konami, Namco...just tons of developers characters.

That's even worse then, definitely not cool. Would have been better if they developed an open source Mario type game creating their own characters.

Yea that's true was going to mention that. Although some indie games have big followings so maybe if they put up their own creation up on Steam or GOG it might have got some interest. I'm surprised Nintendo didnt shut down the Great Giana Sisters back in the day since it was very Marioesque.

What I found amusing is when a newer version came out on 3DS. :olol:

:olol: Maybe it got the OK since it doesn't look as Marioesque as it used too.

You can see the influence but yeah the newer ones definitely don't look how they used to.
