After months of hard work. The greatest game ever is here. Bowser has cunningly kidnapped Princess Peach, and is keeping her captive in his Space Base! Mario runs for his Space Ship, only to find it completely trampled. Signs of Koopa Paratroopa butt marks can be seen all over the ship's hull.

Mario asks Luigi for help. Bravely, Luigi offers his own body to save the helpless Peach. Aboard his LuigiShip "TM", Mario blasts off into space in search of Bowser.

Collect you fireball power up, shoot down blocks. Avoid thwomps and Mr. I's. Battle against merciless Koopa Paratroopas and prepare for Mario's greatest battle against Bowser.

Once again...

Vista FAILS. Surprise surprise - the game won't even run.

I'll probably play this tomorrow sometime and let you know how I like it.

I played it for a good 5 minutes. It was interesting, but was quite generic. You could have stuck any character in there...

Ironically, despite all the 'work' SMBHQ Productions does, you have defeated them all with one game.

You should take them over. XP

I like this game and I don't think it was a bad idea to put the Mario Bros. in. It just seems like a game is more fun to play when a familiar character is in it.

Great Job!

Thanks for the comments Higsby and Metal Man88. This turned more into a social experiment type of thing than just a fan game.

That is just the way society is. We fear the unknown and feel warm and fuzzy when we see something familiar. Been like that since time began, and will never change. Affects games just like every other aspect of life.

Unfortunately, this poses a dilemma for all game makers, professional and amateur alike. People complain about getting the same game over and over, beg for something new and fresh, but then ironically spend their time and money on the familiar and conventional. That is perfectly fine, and can't be considered "wrong."

But it does create this very prickly situation. Chaos Space 2 and Mario' Space Journey are the same game. I finished making Chaos Space 2 bout a week ago, posted it and has been collecting virtual dust since. I swapped my original space ship and maze graphics for Mario and friends graphics ..boom.. instant attention. And I'm not talking about useless praises to inflate my ego. People can now suggest improvements, offer their services, resulting in a genuinely BETTER game in the end.

What a simple Mario graphic swap can accomplish is astounding.

I plan on making more games. I'm finding Gamemaker to be a very enjoyable program to use. But I am at odds with myself because of this realization. Should I make a futuristic action/adventure shooter with power-ups, huge overworld and epic boss battles.. or a Super Metroid Fan game..?

Oh and thanks for the gif Sonicandfails.

Eh, its ok. Its unique I'll say that.
But I stopped at level 8.
Level 7 has a nice little exploit though. You can ride the edge of the screen instead of going in the warps.

Depressing but true. This is kind of why I write more fanfiction than original stories, actually - greater exposure.

I hadn't downloaded CS2, but I was surprised to find that it had gotten zero replies at all.

This game was all right, I guess. Asteroids-style games (fly around, rotate, and shoot things) has never really been fun for me, so it's really no surprise that it wasn't my favorite.

The Mario thing was interesting, though.
