Updated April 28, 2025!

The BETA playable release of Super Mario Destiny, Part 1, is out of the oven and cooling on the kitchen counter!

Artwork completion and playtesting are now underway, and a full website will be dropping any day now.

Stay tuned for website and download link!


--------------------------------------------------------------




** Demo 1 Released Sep. 1, 2020! **
** New details & screenshots released May 2021**

The first playable demo is in the books and we're well on our way to ... DEMO 2! With 20 levels near completion, and a whole lot of updates completed with many more to go, playtesting is now available on a level by level basis.

Levels available to playtest are shown in the "screenshots" section where you can see short videos of the levels available to test!

What I'd like to hear as far as feedback:

- Playability issues, glitches, etc.
- Creative insight and impressions
- Difficulties or confusion with regarding gameplay (custom slopes, map, etc)
- Interest in joining our team with any aspect of design, from GFX to level design to programming
- NOT to hear about where "Luigi's Odyssey" appears throughout, which is the old title

Note: this is far from perfect, even with the levels that are released, but is meant as a showpiece for where the game is heading. Many things are still partially complete including effect sprites for custom npcs, star collections, bonus coins, and additional playable characters.

The Story: Semi-spoilery Plot Info: The Concept: The World:
Screenshots Youtube Site (videos and announcements) Want to Be A Part of Super Mario Destiny?

Following the release of Demo 1, I'm looking to add to the team for what is shaping up to be, I believe, a very special game experience. I have room for additional GFX artists, level designers, and most importantly, LunaLua programmers. Before I progress much further, I want to finalize what custom HUD elements and libraries are going to be the game's foundation. So if you're interested in adding your unique touch to this game, now's the time to speak up!

Looking for:

Level Designers!! Looking to include a wide variety of level types, difficulty & styles. Submit one level or work with us on creating a dozen. Message me to discuss!

1) Luna Lua help. I've been dinking around with this, but I'm both a neophyte with Luna, and have learned from past experience that I am simply an awful programmer [/humiliating failure].
2) Custom graphics. This is honestly my forte but there's going to be a TON of unique themed content. I need all hands on deck for this.
3) Boss Designer. Because everyone loves a good boss battle.
4) Gametesters. I'm doing some bonkers stuff and as much as I try to play through it all myself, I just can't predict how ppl are going to respond when encountering things for the first time. Obviously, I don't get to have the experience of coming across something new and unexpected.
5) Music. Would def love some more custom tracks if there's anyone out there with musical talent...I have none. I have enough custom work from a friend to be dangerous, but there's always room for more.

The Team So Far:

Myself (BroccoliRampage): Story, Level Design, Lead Baldguy
Omarvel: Custom Assets, Level Design, Only Other Person Who Knows The Whole Story
Arie Drain: (not on site) - Music
Sebastian Eubank (not on site) - Custom graphics
Pixie Gomez (not on site) - Asst. Level Design

Completion: Approx 15% of levels
Version: Beta 4

Looks pretty decent based on the screenshots, honestly. I'm excited to see where this project goes in the future.

wow, thats amazing. You know what version it is?

Considering the first post mentions that lunalua help is needed, presumably SMBX2 Beta 4.

There's also a barrel cannon in one of the screenshots, so yeah, definitely Beta 4.

My bad...yes it is, I have edited the post accordingly.

A bit! I played that fairly recently and I loved the creativity in both the level design and the style.

However I did promise myself when I started this that I would lean towards keeping the levels uncomplicated. Expansive and challenging, yes, but uncomplicated as in minimizing puzzles. I've always felt that if a level requires a lot of backtracking in order to unlock doors and paths, it becomes cerebral rather than emotional. That can be a good thing, but you have to understand they're very different kinds of joys, and I wanted this to be a more moving, immersive experience which I think is why I always loved the early DKC games, as well as Sonic.

Like when youre really feeling a song while driving, and it makes hitting those red lights so irritating because you just wanna stay in your groove lol.

There will be a lot of bouncing, flying around and running, and maybe a few puzzles here and there. And there will be so much reason to wanna explore. The joy has to be in the journey.

I just put the pieces together for a new level last night and it's going to be unlike anything I can recall seeing in a Mario game. I can't wait to share it & after that, will be working to ready a playable demo of my current progress.

Im glad I can finally download a episode I can play. I love Luigi. (Not more than Toad)

Your wish is my command.

I just launched a YouTube channel for gameplay clips & details!

What's going on here? Seems like an abandoned island...



Check out Demo #1 now available at the link in the OP!

Omg, I really like this! And wow, I didn't know that SMBX2 got so many updates. It's like a completely different game. Good job!

Nice Job. These levels look different and interesting. Nice to see your still working on this.

Thanks! Yeah I dabbled with it a couple of years back and I'm very impressed with the improvements. I see people coming up with some wildly experimental stuff now, and that inspired me to finally come back and make the game I had wanted to. Most of these levels are simply the result of my experiments with bending the rules or perpetuating illusions, but trust me, it's still the core SMBX mechanics with very little code being used. 90% of what I'm doing is exploiting transparency, parallax & bg layering techniques, complex layer & event combinations, and a lot of custom GFX, and it all comes from seeing and learning from what other people are doing.

And voila..."the thing you must realize is, you see...there is no ground at all."

A Discord server has now been set up for SMBX Project Discussion!

This is awesome. Hope to see this finished in the future. If I get a better computer to run beta 4 before it's finished I think I may help you a bit. Good luck!

Oh... I'll be at this a good long while. Probably 2026. Joking not joking.

Any way that you'd like to contribute, be it coding, throwing out ideas for level themes, or just the occasional custom gfx. Its all welcome.
