Paper Mario Bros, a fan-game now officially in progress, is no longer paper. It will be the same game without all of the paper. Right now, the working title is Super Mario Bros. Reboot. The game will include the original SMB1 Levels, The Lost Levels, and New Levels designed in a new style formed from SMB3 sprites. Check out some screenshots of level 1-1. I made this while looking directly at a level editor, so it's pixel (or tile) perfect. Of course, there is a transparency problem on these ? Blocks, so don't worry about those.
Mario revisits 1-1 once again! All of the character, enemy, block, and item graphics were edited by me from the 8-bit original SMB3 sprites. Mario's colors were based off Mario Party Advance.
Mario just got hit by a Goomba (it's hard to take snapshots while playing). I'm sorry I didn't get any Fire Mario screenshots yet (I'm still deciding between what Fire Mario I should use). New levels should include some other power-ups not featured in the original.
In this screen, it's easy to tell that it's the beginning of the original 1-1 that we all love so dearly. Yes, the secret coin block right above Mario's head is still there.
Mario kicking a shell. Mario's abilities from SMB3 are all present as well as Spin Jump. Mario and the enemies also have smoother animations. The ? Blocks have been completely re-animated.
Well, I hope you're excited about these screens here. Of course, this is still an early prototype, so don't expect it to look perfect (ex. Mario's Cap indicating his life count is a little off). I plan on releasing a beta that includes part of the first world, including the original 1-1, 1-2, a Lost Level, and a New Level. Some other things (like Hammer Bros) may appear on the map screen.
Got anything to say about the new screenshots? How do you feel about the transition from Paper to Reboot? Post it all in the comments!
