Super Mario: Bowsers Time Attack

[cpeka66]

Welcome to our episode! We tried to make something like highly upgraded classic style in graphic design. Levels are middle length: 2-4 minutes of gameplay in each level. Also we tried to combine gimmick-based gameplay (like in modern levels) with classic platforming (like in invasion 2, other old episodes and official Mario games) like in Subzero Heroes and SMW Hacks like Super Mario World 2 Around The World. Hope you will like this screenshots now and episode itself in near(maybe) future.

STORY:

It was a pleasant morning. Mario wakes up and sees burning Mushroom Kingdom. Even the castle had struggled from unknown attack. He comes to Toadsworth to hear bad news, Princess Peach was kidnapped again, and most of the world is occupied by Bowser's Army. Mario's mission is the same as usual, to save the Princess. But when he left the castle some toads said, that they saw three Bowsers, and each other looked slightly different...

1. Lime Meadows (grassland)

Sorry, but currently we don't need any new developers.

Seems really promising. My personal favourite is that rainy Grassland level from the screenshots, it looks really cool.

(Also this may be the first time I've seen anyone using the SMB3 logo font for their logo without making the logo look like a complete desaster)

[Gammed]

[Danat Nukem]

[Bowl_of_Oatmeal]

This looks really cool! This looks just like the episode I wanted to create. Really Awesome.

[cpeka66]

This project is still alive!

During these months, quite a lot of progress has been made: the completion of several of the first worlds, etc.


The post was majorly updated: new screenshots were added, new information was added, supplemented and rewritten old.
