Super Mario Island: Kingdoms in Chaos, Update: Pirahna Vine Glitch XD

Not to long after Super Luigi Dreams' release, I have already gotten to work on a new platformer. (No, I won't be working on SLD2 for a while. Sorry.) Super Luigi Dreams was intended to help me practice making a simple platformer game, and this one will use more things like power ups, bonus rooms, and more! But I'm not here to say "My game is Super Mario Island and it's the best fangame ever!". Here's some info about the game.

Story
It's very calm in the Mushroom Kingdom and Princess Peach was been tremendously bored with all of her paperwork. The Mario Brothers thought it would be a good idea if they got Princess Peach, Toadsworth and all of her friends to join them on a vacation to a tropical resort located on "Sunshroom Island".
Upon arrival, they learn that the island's 7 kingdoms have been attacked by Bowser and the Koopa Kids! The island has a variety of rare items and among one of them is a powerful mushroom deemed the "Bowshroom" by, of course, Bowser. If someone eats the Bowshroom, they turn into a hideous monster! The Koopa Kids have force fed the kings of Sunshroom Island the Bowshrooms and now the once peaceful island is being overrun with Koopa Troopers! It's up to Mario and Luigi to save the kingdoms and stop Bowser and his mass production of Bowshrooms!

Features

• Two playable characters (Mario & Luigi)
• 10+ power ups
• 25 huge levels
• 16 tough bosses
• Several level varieties including Overworld, Underground, Underwater, Boo Houses and more!
• Each level has 5 hidden star coins
• Unique free roaming map
• Tons of secrets!
• Plus more!

'n (Q 'n A)

What's the difference between Mario and Luigi? They're both italian, they can both jump. I don't see the point of having them both in there.
Well, Mario is faster and Luigi jumps higher. Plus, there are abilities that Mario can use that Luigi can't, and visa versa!

What abilities will the game have?
Well, I can't tell you that part... but I will tel-

Why not?
Let me finish. I can't tell you that part, but I will tell you a few power ups. There's the basics like the Fire Flower and Hammer Bro Suit, but there'll also be a few new ones, like the Ninja power which will make Mario disappear if you hold down, and the Pirahna power which will let Mario create a Pirahna vine whereever he wants, letting him reach those hard-to-reach places.

16 bosses?!
2 for each area. One subboss, which will be a Koopa Kid and one king who was turned into a monster, and by defeating him, you'll make him spit up the Bowshroom and change back!

Can you tell me about this map?
It's going to be RPG overworld-inspired, inwhich you can look around all of Sunshroom Island without completing a single level, but in order to play more levels, you will need to, of course, complete previous levels!

Do you have screenshots, or a demo?
A few screenshots are ready! Check 'em out!


Super Mario Island: Kingdoms in Chaos!

If you want, I can help with the game.

Nah. I'm fine working solo.

It sounds like is gonna be great!
...........you better get some screens now! I cant wait to see how it looks ^-^

The title sounds familur to mine. Super Mario: Kingdom Chaos, or SMKC for short.
I hope you have screenies too.

Really? I haven't seen a game with that title... but I'm working on some screens right now!

I made alot of old demos of mine, yet i might just go back to the SMB2 style of gameplay. Looking forwerd to it.

This could be a great game.

Sounds good. But don't make the screen stretch.

Waiting for more.

Heya! Folks! Here's an update! I don't have a level ready yet, but to give you a taste of events to come, here are a few screenshots of the Beta room.

looks good, are these triangles the health? (the times mario/luigi can get hit?)

Yup. I wanted a kind of Banjo-Kazooie-ish health meter.

I never played Banjo-Kazooie (never liked it xD)
but its different so I guess is a plus ^-^
do you have some screenshots of some enemies? or you still working on them?

I'm still programming enemy AI but I do have Goombas done. I'm using the custom goomba sheet I made that topic in the arts board on.

If you haven't seen it...

Can the health meter be expanded?

Well... that was supposed to be top secret... but saying it's a secret now will be too obvious. Yes. The health meter can be expanded to maximum of eight units! I'm just not telling how!

... Honeycombs? Yoshi eggs? A new type of mushroom?

(BTW, add some sort of Stop 'n' Swop. XD)

Hey! That's a good idea! I'll have to write that down!

Update: I made a few enemies... Goombas and Koopas, and right now I'm developing the ability to hold Koopa Shells and kick them at other enemies. I'll put up s'more screens once I've completed the first demo level. (I'm giving you guys two demo levels)

This looks like a great game. Your fourth one if I remember correctly. Man, you're a fangame making machine!
