More insight into conceptual Mario fangame


Hello! Like I said in the description, I threw this together just for fun and decided to post it for everyone to play because people seemed to like the small clip I uploaded. Enjoy just running around in a small Mario world for a little bit and think about what could be.


I was tinkering around with it more but I really really cannot afford to get distracted by something like that. So I'll just post some sketches and concepts and leave it be.

The premise for the plot I came up with is that the game takes place in the Mushroom Kingdom, idk if it would have many original species but I probably couldn't resist sneaking one or two fully original enemies in there. Basically the plot is that Bowser is digging massive holes all around the Mushroom Kingdom looking for the "AMBER SHROOM" which is a legendary super mushroom from ancient times that's been crystalized and has been fermenting somewhere underground for eons. And is now incredibly powerful. And Mario has to find it first! The goomba teammate is a goomba who tries to trap Mario in a pitfall but he falls in too, so Mario helps him out and he decides to go with Mario back to Bowser's castle since they're heading in the same direction anyway. All of the the Koopa Troop keeping attacking

him cause they don't recognize him and in the end when even Bowser doesn't remember him he's just like "okay nevermind let's kill him" the final boss would be a new crazy crystal bowser form of some kind idk. idk. i can't make this game right now I'm too busy idk

Obviously I had a lot of ideas for Mario fangames but i would probably try to keep this one relatively simple since I wouldn't want it to be one the same scope as OUAA unless I was like, getting payed for it or something lol.

Although I did have a sudden realization. If I wanted to make a Mario RPG without having to worry about the jumping mechanics... Captain Toad cannot jump and he's already got a good weapon with the pickaxe and there's SO much story potential that comes with a treasure hunter! But honestly getting the jumping to work in RPG is so novel and there's even plugins for it. And I could always focus on my OCs but honestly if you're not gonna play as a Mario character anyway I think I'm better off setting it in my own world.

That's all just concepts for an RPG Maker Mario Fangame though. I won't bore you with ALL my ideas for Mario games ahaha.... Unless?

Please enjoy the sketches I provided of the mcguffin as well as the goomba teammate! I also provided all the sprite sheets you can look at!


Don't expect any updates to this any time soon. Again this would kill OUAA which is way more important me at the moment. But it's fun to dream, right?
