In this Super Mario Bros. X (A Super Mario fangame) episode, join Mario, Luigi, Toad & Toadette
as you partake
in this
traditional, yet benevolent epic. Essentially, it's an episode that takes great inspiration from
the NSMB series in terms of world layout and level progression, heavily incorporating elements
from many classic 2D Mario games you all know & love! It features the classic 8 world themes, as
well as a secret 9th world!
In terms of the story, it's about what you expect from many of the mainline Mario titles out
there, in which you rescue Princess Peach. However, Bowser has more of a... scientific... motive
for kidnapping Peach this time around. You'll meet various friends, learn more about the history
of the Mushroom Kingdom & embark on numerous challenges as you traverse Bowser's Darklands.
With over 100 unique levels, 90 stars to collect, 20 secret exits & a variety of boss fights
both nostalgic & innovative, it will certainly be an epic to remember!
I have been a long-time player of SMBX for many years to date, and I've been working on this
episode on and off for as long as I can remember. This has been BY FAR my most pressing passion
project to date, spanning almost an entire decade! After rekindling my motivation for
Nintendo-level creating after 2-3 years of inactivity in between, I set out to finish what I've
started. I've been intensively working on completing this project ever since! Now, I am both
proud & ecstatic to finally release this project to both the SMBX community & my online
community!
I hope that you will all enjoy everything that this episode has to offer! I certainly enjoyed
pouring my heart & soul into every last object placed. I wouldn't change this journey for the
world, as it ignited a passion for creating & game design within me that I never would have
obtained otherwise.
Thank you to everyone who has contributed, whether directly or indirectly, to this project's
completion! Enjoy embarking on your epic quest!
