This weird game is what I like to call New Super Mini Mario Kart Bros World... okay, I'm kidding, I've nicknamed it "Mini(no)Kart".

Mario has many of his trademark moves.
I love seeing a different look on things, so this was a platformer of a racing game map!

It had an engine, but it didn't go far.
Again, a possible future minigame.

Someguy - You're one of the most creative members I've ever seen on mfgg (despite my short time here)
Your games are just pure brilliant.

You need to finish this. It is pure win.

A nice place to start putting in those Glory Emblems too.

What I really wanted to do was use slopes and such to add some more variation, but I lost the tutorial I had that talked about using the Overlay object right, and I don't know anyone who I haven't bothered enough already who knows about it. ;x

In some cases, something can only be seen best in motion.
This is one of them.

That looks wonderful, though I'm not quite sure what's going on in some parts.

from what I get, you change the angle by wallkicking with some other condition, and then release to change the map styling, enabling you to get to another point that may have an object of value.

Actually, I just have it set to rotate when I press the Z button, however many times I tap it, it rotates that many times. It's really just a test. I walljumped and such so I didn't end up inside a solid brick wall.

A bit of an early update this time...

Here's a character that sneaks around unseen, stealthfully dodging enemy sight, entering and exiting unnoticed. Who is it? Newcomer: Snake? Nope, it's...

Sneaky Mar...io? What the?!
Yep. In Thingio Side A: Let's Go! Thingio!, Mario lost his hammer when he washed up on Hilure. He's now realized that without that weight, he can scoot around against a wall flat and unnoticed to many things! This helps the fact he can only take away one HP at a time from enemies. He can also go across thin ledges.

This is Mario's ability! Don't steal it!
How does one go about this process? Simple.

Go to any darkened background wall, press down to face the screen, then press fire 2.

Mario can't be seen... but this guy doesn't care anyway.

These are Handfakes.
These enemies reign from Star Hill, in Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. They crawl around harmlessly on the ground for a bit, then pull out a sign.

Sometimes things get out of hand.
To beat them, you simply jump on the sign to knock it out of their hand about three times.

That's high!
The Parakoopa sign requires a double jump to get over. You can also try and get a friend to do it for you.
There's that third enemy, too. If a Handfake holds up a Bob-omb sign for a short while, they'll drop it. Watch out, it'll explode into deadly chunks of cardboard!

Uh oh... Run for your lives!

I've just looked into this recently and that last, rotatey thing...is insane!

GO SNEAKY MARIO

you should release all of these

I wish I could fit all that I am feeling into one post.

But this will have to do for now, Simply amazing ;_;

That sneaking ability is a lot more awesome in pictures than in text. =D


The gravity-spin thing is cool, if not a tad dizzying.

you've changed that engine alon from the last time I've played around with it.
fun fun.

I managed to get this update up using spare images, my own computer's disconnected from the net for a bit. Wanted to get it up a little earlier too.

This next minigame was going to be for a winter minigame competition... but I missed it. It was called Thingio: Holidaze.

The Virtual Machine? Does that make them the Virtual Gang?
Thingio: Holidaze would take place some time after Side B, and would have a mix of the better quality of Side B and the silliness of Side A.

Not the most accurate thermometer, but it works...
Mario, Geno, and the Rub Rabbits Leader would each have one segment. That makes only three levels... I hope that's not too small.

The personalities shine out a little more...
I'm planning on releasing this next winter season. Maybe you'll find some Glory Emblems if you're good!

Someguy, why the fudge aren't you working for Nintendo yet?!

Remember Super Mario Land 4?
Some of you probably have bad memories of trying to wall jump in that one demo, I'm sure... How about we take a look at an older version of the game engine that never made it out to public...

The strangest teamup since Mario, Sonic, and Mickey Mouse? Maybe...
This engine featured four characters with about four upgrades each, and probably the worst mix of sprite styles possible.

Don't lose track of your pals!
Mugenmidget helped design a kind of "HP Pool" as we called it, seen on top. If a character lost all their HP, they would recover it from the HP Pool. If there was none left, they could be brought back to the game by taking from an existing player's HP. There was also the ability to swap focus to the next player, skipping over any that weren't in-game.

Yep, it was still called Application1. It was quite buggy too.
One of the things I worried about was if the inclusion of a whole "alternate dimension kung fu knowing Gunpei Yokoi" thing would seem less in honor and more insultive...

I'd love to pick up Super Mario Land 4 again some time, but I'm trying not to get Thingio Side B out of the main programming spotlight unless the public really seemed more interested in something else for now.

Heck yes SML4 8D

I also went back and read some of the other stuff. All the multiplayer additions rock <3

Nah, it would be insultive if you used a car crash joke.

Maybe one of his special moves would involve a Game Boy?
