Super Mario Bros. X Forums

Ever since I downloaded this game to my computer, I've been asking myself this important question

What give Redight and his helpers the idea to make SMBX? Was it something they thought of when they played some of the old classic Nintendo games or did it came to him in a dream of some sort?

Either way I'm just curious on how they came up with the idea of SMBX. If any of you know this question, please tell me in your own option on what give them the inspiration to making this awesome fan game.

SMBX was basically a result of Redigit wanting to try out his coding abilities in Visual Basic, if I remember correctly.

Yeah. He was experienced with qBasic then started working with Visual Basic and coded SMBX. He also had a couple of websites (supermariobrothers.org, tehgames, a sonic fan site and a spongebob one) where he published his work.
