Super Mario Bros. Ultra, New Gameplay Video! - 7/7/09

What's the new demo going to have?
The next demo will include all of World 1 and Worlds 2-1 through 2-4. Unfortunately, Luigi won't be playable for now.

Notice: Help Wanted
A few guys suggested that I use custom sprites for this game. I like this idea, but it's going to take quite a while to get things done if I work alone. So I'm asking for help from you to help sprite things like enemies, bosses, and characters for this game. You will get credit for helping of course. I only need a few spriters to help, and you can post in this topic or PM me if you're interested.

Story (In a nutshell)
Bowser finds a powerful item called the Ztar Rod, which has a large source of power. He uses its dark energy to make himself invincible to anything. He also destroys the rod's opposite, the Star Rod, at Star Haven, and scatters its pieces across the Mushroom Kingdom and gives them to his most powerful minions. Meanwhile, Mario was enjoying his vacation, when Chippy sends a message to him, explaining what has happened. Now Mario must once again save the Mushroom Kingdom from Bowser.

Not bad, But you should decrease the jumping speed

It's a nice start so far.
The jumping seems weird to me, though. I think you jump too fast and fall too fast.
Also, you can't kick Koopa shells without being hurt. And if you go into one of the areas with the Koopa Troopa and the pipes on each side, it's very hard to escape from the moving shell. Maybe some invincibility time after you recover?

As the other to said, decrese jumping hight/speed and the thing with the koopa shell.
Also I think that you should increase walking speed and it's kinda wierd that Mario is faster than Luigi (But I understand why you are doing it like that).

But other than that it's a pretty good engine.

Fixed the Koopa shell problem, and changed the jumping speed. The goal system and a temporary intro has also been added

This update is a lot better! Not that the older version was bad or anything.
Just two things:
-Enemies die when they touch a Koopa shell that it isn't moving.
-When Mario dies. he destroys any blocks he runs into on the way up. This isn't really much of a problem, but I'm just letting you know in case it wasn't meant to be like that.

Nice engine Yoshbert.

Thanks for the comments. And Doodleboy, the dying was intentional, but I'll have to change that sooner or later.

Some more screens are added to the first post. Take a look.

Item preview:



The Fire Flower and Mega Mushroom are self-explanatory. The Ice Flower allows you to hurl freeze balls at your enemies, turning them into ice blocks. You can kick the frozen baddies at other enemies, Kirby-style.

Can we see Mario with a Mega Mushroom?

Well, the Mega Mario transformation is not quite done yet, but if you really want to see:



The 8-bit Mario is just a placeholder for the moment.

I know you stole that NBA line from NC

>:]

So you found out, didn't you. >:3 Yeah, I had to make the Toad compliment Luigi in some way.

Aside from the previous powerups mentioned, the Cape Feather will also be available. I'll post some screens of it in action pretty soon.

Cool.
Still looking good.

Cape Mario!

Sorry for double posting again, but I figured that some of you might want to see this in action with a gameplay video.

Not bad. The goombas sky-rocketing after being killed/shot bugged me a bit.
You did a pretty good job on the feather, too, except for the start which shows the wrong animation.

Where did you get the Peach's Castle background ?
