Storyline:
What seemed like a lovely picnic at the castle, turned out to be a day of turmoil. Peach invited Mario and Luigi to her castle for a quite, nice lunch. Meanwhile, Bowser plotted. He planned and executed his attack. First, he stole the Princess, then proceeded to bomb all of Toad Town and Princess Peach's Castle. Not stopping there, Bowser furiously bombed the rest of the Mushroom Kingdom and began his takeover.

After some time, the Mushroom Kingdom had fallen, and Bowser's Kingdom had risen. The Power of the Stars revived Luigi, in hopes that the Mushroom Kingdom can one day live on. As Luigi stumbles back to Toad Town, his biggest nightmare becomes a reality. His brother Mario's game has ended. Now, it's all up to Luigi to save the Mushroom Kingdom. Can he do it? Play and find out!

Characters:

GOOD:

Mario: A great hero. He is always the one who saves the Mushroom Kingdom from danger. This time, however, Bowser has ended his game and the Kingdom's only hope may have ended aswell.

Luigi: Mario's younger brother. A bit nervous and worrysome, he is often in the shadow of his brother. Lacking confidence, when the fate of the entire Kingdom rests on Luigi's shoulders, will he be able to pull through?

Princess Peach: The Princess of the Mushroom Kingdom. She is a prime target of Bowser who constantly tries to capture her. This time is no different. With the Kingdom in ruins, and no leadership from the Princess, how will the Kingdom survive?

Toadsworth: The Princess' royal guard. He is always worried for the Princess' saftey and once she is captured, it appears Toadsworth may become the man in charge of what happens next.

BAD:

Bowser: An evil Koopa. He has his sights set on ruling his own Kingdom alongside the Princess.

Bowser Jr: Bowser's son. He is mischievous and does whatever his 'Papa' tells him to do. He is a bit childish and often makes mistakes, much to his father's disappointment.

Kamek: Bowser's wise, old ally. He is often the one who discovers information and reports it to Bowser. He is in competition with Bowser Jr for Bowser's prime attention.

None yet.

Demo:
Coming April 13, 2010.

My Youtube page will be updated constantly. So subscribe and stay tuned!

Wow, that was really good. It seems like this game has a somewhat serious tone, with Bowser aking over and all. (And not to mention the fiery title screen XD)

What can we expect in terms of battle and other aspects?

Whoa. That's awesome.

Haha, thanks Yes, I was actually going for more of a serious tone with the game while still trying to keep some elements that make it a true Mario game!

The game will run similar to a Paper Mario fashion. Where you will play as one main character and be followed by 6-7 partners. However, only one at a time. Each character will get 2 unique abilities to solve puzzles in dungeons and progress. I'm really trying to push the boundaries of RPG Maker VX to really get a truly fun, Mario-esque, gaming experience.

There's actually a huge plot point to my game that has yet to be released. I'm currently working on the cutscene as we speak and I'll upload it to Youtube when I can. It's actually the main part of my whole storyline and is really unexpected. Haha, I don't know how else to describe it, I'll post a video of it when I can, stay tuned



Thanks!

This game is awesome. How did you get that message to play sound every time? You know, that typing sound? Scripts or something?

But what I really want to know is who the hero is. Still Mario, or what?

Lol, awesome second vid. Epic.

Thanks!
Yes, it is a script actually. And the main hero is actually Luigi. See, the whole concept I'm going for is that the Mushroom Kingdom is in ruins and the one hero everyone always turns to...is gone. I think it's an interesting idea and it gives Luigi some much needed spotlight.



Haha, thanks

Sounds like a good twist. Too bad the only time I prefer Luigi over Mario is in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, lol.

I don't necessarily prefer Luigi over Mario either, but I think it's different and adds something unique to my game over the slew of generic Mario fangames out there.

...

Wait, what?
