A Mario fangame where Mario goes back in time to the year 1989.
You can play through many 8-bit-styled levels to find out what caused the time portals to open.
SMR isn't your typical SMBX game you drag into your episodes folder. This is a total conversion of SMBX. I hope to make it so you can forget the final product is built upon SMBX.
Why?
There's no large-scale 8-bit SMBX episode, and SMBX would be the perfect engine for an 8-bit Mario fangame.
What kind of title is "Super Mario Bros 5"?
The game has a plot that takes place after Super Mario World. The core gameplay/aesthetics build on SMB1, 2, 3 and World.
I'm also designing the game in a very 90s-Nintendo-like way. I'd like the final product to feel polished and official.
Why not use SMBX 2.0?
idk how to use it
It's still in beta.
What to expect
110 levels. Most of them being 8-bit, but some 16-bit areas are included as well.
New objects, items and enemies
New level themes that aren't in any previous Mario game (For example, the game has a Lucid Dream and Retro Cyberpunk world)
Difficulty: The game will start off easy and get more difficult as you progress. The game will never be kaizo.
The level design looks really solid, but I think a lot of people might discredit you because of the massive clash with graphics (especially in the intro level). But otherwise, it looks great.
I've thought of doing level sampler episodes for this.
Aka, I'll take a few levels that I like and make an SMBX episode out of them. That way people can play some more levels before this episode is released, without that many spoilers.

Just make a level collection thread and put a level in there every now and then? would make more sense than posting a handful of minisodes in the Episodes subforum
Still using the legacy editor? Get SMBX2 and PGE, it will improve your experience significantly. Here's why. And remember, Yoshis are tools to be used and discarded.

I wonder why nobody's made a Lucid Dream world in a sidescrolling game yet.
Well, I'm gonna make one for Super Mario Retro. The gimmick is that anything can change at any time, impossible things can happen and the world overall looks abstract and neat (hopefully).

It's pretty creative for an idea, it actually reminds me of Vinesauce's corruption streams, and how when he did his SMBX level contests, people would send intentional corruption inspired levels to replicate those.
My Project:
I don't really have a signature but here's what I support:
The oldest prototype for Super Mario Retro, back when it was called "Return to Retroville".
I'll post a download link in a bit and I'll post more screenshots about the progress of Super Mario Retro. I've done a lot behind the scenes, including beefing up the levels in beta 2 and working on a lot of levels in future worlds. Stay tuned!
Greetings humans. I apologize for being absent for so long. I may have not been giving updates, but I have been working on Super Mario Retro and a lot of progress has been made.
For now, here's a crudely put together website for the game, complete with 90s Geocities aesthetic.
I got 2 complaints about this SMBX episode from looking at the screenshots:
Complaint #1: The colors in the screenshot of the world map hurts mah eyes! Should've used a medium hue color from the (NES) color palette that's friendlier to the eyes imo.
Complaint #2: The 8-bit "Yoshi's Island" Yoshi looks too SMB1 like. Maybe you should've took notes from resources from either, the Yoshi design from Hummer Team's SMW demake, or the Yoshi design from SMB3 Mix.
Other than those 2 complaints, I'm really feeling like supporting this!
Hue is the part of a color that most closely corresponds to wavelength, so something like "red", "blue", "yellow" or "magenta". Going off red being hue 0 and 360, a "medium hue color" would be cyan at hue 180. Did you mean lightness (brightness/value), or saturation (color intensity, greyness)?

I mean the brightness of the color. Thanks for correcting me

Thanks, I'll see what I can do. I agree the world map is way too saturated, I just haven't got around to fixing it yet.
Here are some level previews. Each level in this preview is something I haven't shown yet (except for the screenshots :/)
I'm also gonna update this thread in a bit with more recent info on the game and its progress. Stay tuned!
