Super Mario Crossover

Jump into a retro gaming extravaganza! In Super Mario Crossover, you’re not just Mario anymore. Take control of iconic characters from classic NES titles, each with their unique abilities, and blast, whip, or sword-fight your way through the familiar Mushroom Kingdom. Get ready to relive classic levels with an exciting new twist!

Super Mario Crossover is a fan-made platforming game that reimagines the original Super Mario Bros. by allowing players to control various characters from other classic Nintendo Entertainment System games. The game is set in the beloved Mushroom Kingdom, where the primary goal remains to rescue the princess from the sorcerer. Players will encounter familiar enemies such as Goombas, Koopa Troopas, and Hammer Bros. as they navigate through the levels.

A round of Super Mario Crossover plays out much like the original Super Mario Bros. The game features eight worlds, each containing four levels. In the first three levels of each world, the objective is to reach a checkpoint. The final level of each world culminates in a confrontation with Bowser to save Princess Peach. Players collect gold and other bonuses throughout their journey, which can significantly aid in saving the princess. For instance, a potion bottle will make Mario grow, enabling him to break any block above his head, while a flower grants him the ability to shoot fire. As Mario or Luigi, players can defeat enemies by jumping on them or using Koopa shells. Other characters have their own distinct attack methods. Beyond completing levels, players can also earn coins and points to achieve a high score.

The game stands out by offering a roster of additional main characters beyond Mario, each with their unique attacks and movements based on their original games. These characters include Link from The Legend of Zelda, Samus Aran from Metroid, Mega Man and Bass from Mega Man, Simon Belmont from Castlevania, Bill Rizer from Contra, Ryu Hayabusa from Ninja Gaiden, and Sophia the 3rd from Blaster Master. Each character retains abilities from their home games; for example, Mega Man can slide and fire his arm cannon, Simon Belmont uses his whip, and Samus can roll into a morph ball and lay bombs. Power-ups are also tailored to each character, enhancing their specific abilities. The game features different modes, including “All Characters” where players can switch characters per level, “Single Character” to play as one character throughout, and “Single Random” which assigns a new character and skin after each level or death. There are also various graphical “skins” for levels and characters, resembling different eras and games. Difficulty settings like Easy, Normal, and Hard adjust enemy count, coins, and time limits.
