Super Mario Punch-out!, The NES boxing title with a mario twist

Not ready for a demo yet, but I have a screenshot. I have a simple engine figured out using Game Maker 7. Basically, a boxing tournament starts in Mushroom Land, and our plucky hero Mario joins up. He begins in the Amateur ring with weaker opponents and works his way up to the heavy hitters. The game will include playble training sequences, power-ups, and maybe an appearance by the WVBA champion, Little Mac himself.

The roster will include:
1. Koopa
2. Luigi
3. Waluigi
4. Sledge Bro
5. Wario
6. Donkey Kong
7. Macho Bowser
8. ???The dream fighter???

Each fighter will have his own special moves and fighting pattern that must be neutralized in some way in order to defeat them.

In addition, Power-ups will be included. After getting a certain number of hits in consecutively, you get a power-up. The power-ups will be: Mushroom-5 hits, Flower-8 hits, and Star-10 hits. Naturally, flowers and stars will only be accessible in fights with the strongest opponents.
A mushroom will let you do an uppercut,
A flower will let you do the Dempsey Roll,
And a star will let you do a super uppercut.

Screenshots, demo or lock.

ok ok, this is all I've got right now though, but you can se how the concept might work.

Use the right and left arrows to dodge, and currently, the only punch is a body jab and a face jab. To body jab, press A, to face jab, hold up and press A.

Edit: New version. Still no health bars or anything, but now you can do more moves. Press F1 to know them. Also, there are no power-ups programmed yet. Just dodge Waluigi's blows and hit him back.

I love Punchout so good luck with this!

Looking good so far. However, you may want to stop Mario from being able to attack AND dodge at the same time. I've never played Punchout but I'm sure he shouldn't be able to do that.

Eeh, thanks for catching that, I might have missed it, I'll fix it.
