Concepts:
Spoiler: show
This is a three-star project that will take place on a world map. The level length will vary, but I will try as hard as I can to keep the quality consistent, and good, for that matter. You will be allowed to play as three characters; Mario, and two other secret characters that replace Peach and Link. There will be nine worlds; you can look on the worlds spoiler for more information about that. Every world will have a village/mushroom house and secret level. The level design isn't your typical Mario type level, so don't expect that, meaning that there are a lot of levels with darkened and rendered graphics. The level design is fairly non-linear and expansive at times as well.
Every level uses custom music. My guess is that by the time this project is finished it will use more custom music than any project ever. I am trying to use lots of music that has never been used before in SMBX.

Progress:
Four worlds complete! The first two levels of world 5 are finished as well.
Story (New)
Spoiler: show
Once, many eons ago, there was there was a small tribe of lumas who all possessed a great and mysterious power. They all lived happy together for generations, until one day a dark force wiped out many of them, leaving only three of them left, a little luma named Starle and her mother and father. The family of three lived together peacefully despite the unknown crisis, until it happened again, only this time they could see what was happening. Three menacing and powerful creatures appeared, followed by a dark but malicious shadow which followed close behind. The monsters attacked, with the intent of capturing the lumas and doing something horrible to them! It appeared that they wanted their mystic power. The lumas were powerful, yet they were nothing compared to the three monsters and the strange shadow. The mother and father luma were immediately captured, and Starle was next, until a strange figure appeared. A powerful warrior named Rasiu swooped down and nabbed the innocent luma before she was taken to the hands of evil. Rasiu and the luma quickly plunged into a deep specehole which teleported them far away from danger. The luma’s parents were never seen again.
The space hole teleported Rasiu and the Starle to the mushroom kingdom. Unfortunately, using the coordinates of the transportation hole that Starle and Rasiu had used, they were able to trace their location. Evil was to come to the mushroom kingdom, a threat far greater than Bowser, Wart, or any of the other antagonists that appeared in the lifetime of the Mario brothers.
When the monsters arrived, they immediately detected the great power of the King Grand Star in Peach’s castle. Ironically, Wart had invaded the castle at the exact same moment, with the intent of capturing the princess. The monsters arrived and captured the Kind Grand Star with ease. However, they would be stopped. Rasiu, knowing that they would use the power of the star for evil, attacked. He needed to use the Kind Grand Star for an important mission as well. He launched a missile at the monster’s ship, blasting it down. In the event that the ship crashed, the three evil warriors appeared to confront Rassiu, while Starle was hiding from them at a distance.
The three warriors were about to obliterate Rassui until – they received a transmission from their leader (The Shaodw). Suddenly, the plans had changed. The King Grand Star was floating in the distance. Rassiu had planned to use it to try to save Starle from evil, but that didn’t happen. The head-honcho of the three warriors – shot a beam through his eyes, blasting the King Grand Star into millions of little stars, which blasted across the mushroom kingdom with the force of the explosion. Mario had witnessed everything.
The warriors vanished, and bad things started to happen to the mushroom kingdom, as reports and scanners had shown. In many areas, the land was becoming dark, haunted, deathly and uninhabited. It was the work of the warriors. But why? They didn’t appear to be pursuing Starle, but they weren’t leaving. They were doing horrible things do the land in the mushroom kingdom, why? What was their main objective? What did their leader want them to do?
Meanwhile, Rassiu had a goal. His original plan was to use the Kind Grand Star to generate enough power to stop the monsters from causing trouble. Unfortunately, it shattered into millions of pieces around the mushroom kingdom. New plan! Mario, Rasiu and Starle will set out to capture all the missing pieces of the star to bring back the power of the original so they will have enough power to stand up to the monsters. They all have motivation. Rassiu wants to stop the monsters and bring peace to the universe once and for all. Starle wants to find her parents and avenge her fallen tribe from so many years ago. Mario wants to bring his star back and protect his homeland from further destruction. Along the way they will encounter altered and unnatural lands created by the three warriors, evil creatures from outer space via the monsters, troops from Bowser’s empire who still have a grudge agents Mario for all the time that he defeated Bowser, and the three powerful warriors themselves. The stars are scattered over eight different regions, plus some in outer space as well. The three heroes will travel all over the globe to bring back the stars, and bring peace to the mushroom kingdom and the rest of the universe.
