I wanted to make a game that pays homage to the early days of Mario fangames, specifically the Flash games in the early 2000's with their edgy tone and mix & match of 16-bit graphics. Plus I attempted to bridge the gap between the gameplay of 3D Mario and the combat from the role-playing games. This was very experimental and I hope I can continue it in the future, so feel free to share any ideas you may have! VERSION HISTORY -Ver 1.0: Released -1.1 (8/11/23): Collected silver stars now save even after dying; re-balanced stats to make the difficulty more accessible
