Oh god, I LOVE the story.

greatest story of all time

Beautiful as always you've done

glitches
when picking up the wrench, the shiny thing is still there.
when going up stairs, its possible to get stuck in a wall.

Hm, it's an alright game.

I don't like how there's no sound for jumping or landing on goombas, nor how Mario doesn't have a sound for when he gets hit by goombas. But then again this is probably just a beta so you're going to be adding that in the future, yeah? Holding down a button for Run would be a good idea too. Also the wrench collision is kinda wonky in my opinion.

Another complaint is the Spoilers:

Quick time event. I didn't know that was supposed to be one and when a speech bubble popped up, I didn't know whether it meant Shift or Control, two of the controls mentioned for the game. Little did I know you were referring to the spacebar.

Spoilers:

yeah i got lucky there

There is a sound for jumping on Goombas, and there is a sound when Mario gets hit. They're both very noticable.
A run feature had been thought of, but since this is a fighter of sort, there aren't really any areas where you need to run, so it was left out.

Spoilers:

you can press either shift, ctrl, x or z. Either will trigger. Spacebar isn't being used at all.

thank you DY, quoted glitch has been fixed. The other one might need some more tweaking, but I'll definitely look into it.

Haha this is nice.

A question, though; is the goomba brigade attack ment to be easily cheesable with good timing + butt stomp?

Amazing. I saw a TON of Pixel Shaders. Mind naming a few?

1) Huh. Must be because I ran the game from the .zip file. Sorry!

2) Alright then.

Seeing as how there's big potential for this I hope you can really make this game shine!

I know my laptop isn't exactly top of the line, but your blood lags like ****.

Yeah, the blood is awful. Also, for some reason there's a huge window for the game but the actual gameplay only takes place on the top left.

Love it but could there be an option to have none/little blood?
I also have laggy-ness when it comes to it

I get the blood lag. Not so much 'cause it's a decent laptop. Hmm, can't tell you much about this that hasn't already been said. I can't wait for episode 2!

Nice game, blood's laggy as hell though.

BTW How do you make a creepy robot voice you did with "BIG GOOMBA"?

There is a huge window, the game is set up on the left side.
Spoilers:

Every time I hit a goomba and blood pops up, it blocks the whole screen and I can't see anything. When I was vs'ing the huge Goomba, the whole screen was destroyed, as you can see in the picture, above.

If you fix those errors, the games will probably be a great game.

Some people seem to have an issue with the screen. Unfortunately, I fear this is because of an invalid, broken or missing DirectX feature and there's nothing I can do about that.

The blood does seem to lag - unfortunately, because during testing it didn't lag at all. I must've changed something so I'll look into that.

Thanks for the feedback.

So... It's over after the gardens?

Either way this was a lot of fun! The blood did lag a little for me, but I figured it was just a special effect or something so it didn't bother me.

Great game, can't wait to see more

I quite like the slowdown from the blood; it's not like it impacts anything that much, and it seems like something overstylized from a parody of a semi-parody.
