The Never-Ending Universe of Super Mario Fan Games

Damn 90 minutes

Fun fact: The Luigi model in SM64 was discovered exactly 24 years and 01 months after the original game released.

original owner of MX, and old director of mario 85 here means a lot to see you cover the project! i never expected MX to get this far haha

I am so honored... SO, so honored, to have my fan-game listed as one of your most favorites. Super Mario: All-Star Attack started out as truly a love letter to the classic Mario games. But if it wasn't for one guy in particular: Camtendo, none of this would've ever happened. We went from it paying homage to the classic Super Mario Bros. games, to it paying homage to just about every Mario platformer and RPG before the Switch era! It's quite crazy looking back and seeing how much has been accomplished, especially when I wanted to discontinue the project after just about all of the original members left in pursuit of other things. But, I carried on. And now look where we are. THANK YOU SO MUCH, ANTDUDE!! 🌟😁🎆🎈🎊

As the one responsible for Yoshi Gone MFGG, I am so sorry. As the one who made a part of the soundtrack for Psycho Waluigi and Psycutlery, I'm glad you shouted them out, and gave props to Luke's amazing history and the work they do. Thank you for that.

32:31 Vaporeon was actually in smash land as a prototype Orcane for Rivals of Aether, the Vaporeon memes didn't happen until way after, Dan Fornace is one of the designers behind Rivals and was the creator of Smash Land, both characters even have the water puddle teleport

14:47 creator of A Plumber For All Seasons here - I'm super happy to hear it left a good impression! Hope you'll enjoy it when you give it a more thorough play too. :)

The Luigi fireball is supposed to reference the original mario bros game where red fireballs ricochet while green ones go across the screen

54:23 Creator of (Mario) The Music Box here! Spot on with the "not your cup of tea" I don't imagine anyone taking the game seriously since it was a vent project with bits and pieces of symbolism and my life mixed into it.

55:38 so this an interesting case. The original story goes the developer was essentially under an insane amount of mental depression and lock down due to an accident that basically scared them for most of 2011-2016. While it is unclear a chunk of digging suggested something personal, like family related. They developed this game and in turn it's sequel mario the music box arc as a form of therapeutic release as nightmares would be their inspiration. In fact as of this moment arc was discontinued due to... well... they expressed their worries and formed a circle of comfort. So yeah we have essentially mario trapped in a silent hill esc spencer mansions where nightmares are a common occurrence and can very much kill you

ASM dev for SMBCD here, thank you so much for the mention! Kinda crazy to see someone I watched back in the day shoutout something that I had a part in building. We thank you all for your interest and support!

Thank you so, so much for the shoutout!! Everyone in the team has been freaking out over it, we're so happy to have been mentioned in a video like this!

“At the end of the day, Super Mario” Wow, what a profound statement.

So glad to have seen my old Mario fangame mentioned! I'm currently working hard on Aurascope and I can't wait to release it for everyone to play! Thanks for being awesome, Antdude!

Really appreciate mentioning our SMBX project! Though it's not out yet, we've been working hard to get a demo out as soon as possible!

just as a note, the pc port of mario 64 has nothing to do with the leaked source code and was a decompilation project that had been in the works for many years before the gigaleak

42:32 Thank you for featuring a bit of Project Green, it was really crazy hearing that title come out of your mouth! Brought a smile to my face :) Hopefully we will have something new and available sometime at the end of this year!

Look ma-ma, we made it haha! 17:19 Thanks for covering our little hack, though briefly. :]

Mario 85?! I never thought I'd see Antdude cover this lol

Thank you for mentioning Stellar Bonds in your video man! Super duper appreciated! We're cooking HARD behind the scenes and hope to create something everyone will enjoy :D
