Hordak Alpha 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 801	I've downloaded several of these games now and most of them are practically harder than the official games. Health bars are a major improvement but the structure of the levels of each fan game I have played are just as frustrating as an official game. Then the fan designers put in special cheat passwords to enhance the game yet there is never a spoiler site out there telling all of these cheats. I don't give a crap about playing any game the natural way anymore. If there are cheats for Super Mario fan games I'd like to know them so I can actually enjoy the game. Does anyone know of any sites that post any cheats/passwords to Super Mario fan games?? I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't any.

Alot of them don't have any save functions or impossible jumps you are supposed to do. The most annoying thing is that alot of these games have it so where you cannot kill any of the damn enemies. It is annoying. Those kinds of games have ended up within my recycle bin over the last few days. I've only spared the games that don't suck. One game that does suck is Mario and Sonic Flash. The screen shots on the download sites lie. There is only one level to the game and you are trapped in a maze where the only thing you can do is just runaround.

Hordak Alpha 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 801	Okay, I must take back what I said about the Mario and Sonic fan game. The demo version sucked but I did find a better version but even then all it is is a time killer. There is only one level to navigate through and all you can do is just collect rings and coins. The ability to shoot fireballs is a nice power for the Mario Bros. but even then there aren't even any enemy characters to use the power on. In short most Super Mario fan games seem to suck but there are a few exceptions. Super Mario:Mushroom Chaos- A game that frustrates the hell out of me but at least it isn't impossible to play. Save Mario! - This seems to be a decent game where you can play as Luigi or Peach, I prefer Luigi. Super Mario: Kamek's Revenge- This fan game shows promise but it looks as though the creator is never going to finish the game. So far there are only four levels and one boss who is hard to beat. Mario and Sonic Return- A neat little fighting game except it needs two players to play it which can be difficult to do on a computer. Super Mario World Reloaded- An interesting game where Mario uses a shotgun and other assorted weapons to take down enemies. The only flaws with this game are that the levels get more impossible as you move on and it would be nice that the option to jump on enemies would still be included. It is next to near impossible to shoot flying koopas. Super Mario World- A fan version with six levels. The game is alright but it is more of a time killer game when you are bored. So in short alot of Super Mario freeware fan games suck except the ones I listed as pretty much being the only real good ones out there.

I really think health bars are the best way to go, especially for a player like me who really hates having to begin an entire level again and again.

Mister E 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 708	Why do Mario fan games suck? Because Shigeru Miyamoto wasn't involved with making them, that's why.

Hordak Alpha 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 801	Heh, maybe. I have found a few that don't suck though. There is an equal amount of Sonic fan games that suck and don't suck too.

Well, its not like Shiggy is putting out nothing but gold these days. Remember, he thought Cel-da was a great idea, and that Pikmin was a stroke of genious...

Hordak Alpha 8 years 7 months ago Posts: 801	I have heard that the game is one of those toughies though. I may consider giving it a try since I can't judge a game until I've actually played it. The only reason why I've been saying that some Super Mario Fan Games suck is because of the sheer fact I've tried out alot of them and only found a tiny handful that are worth playing and keeping on a computer. Believe me it is a very teeny, tiny amount that don't suck.

Hordak Alpha 8 years 6 months ago Posts: 801	Well I've tried Blue Twilight and I've only gotten as far as level three because the jumping sucks in this game. The design, sprites, music and concept of the game are cool but the jumping needs work.
