It may have been returned in all directions, explored in long, wide and across and worn everywhere, Super Mario Bros. continues to be the subject of various and varied experiments. In this case, we are talking about an edition “Remastered“, which is actually intended to be a remake operated by the passionate hacker Joemama, who has just presented his project on YouTube, this week. In a few days, the video has accumulated nearly 250,000 views all the same, testimony of a real craze on the web.
The idea is therefore to offer an improved experience of the cult game of 1985. First of all, we go from a 4/3 format to a 16/9 format (and that changes a lot of things in reading the levels) with improved visual elements and audios. Likewise for physics, which the creator announces reworked, which is still important for a platform game.
In addition to the mustachioed plumber, Super Mario Bros. Remastered will also like to offer new playable characters – Toad Bleu or Toadette, for example – and will include content from Super Mario Bros. Deluxe.
Above all, this edition will allow you to give free rein to its creativity, first from an artistic point of view since it will be possible to visually and auditively customize the appearance of the classic of the NES. It therefore goes through the inclusion of new more detailed 3D models, or by the colorimetry or the atmosphere of the levels. The icing on the cake: a level editor accessible directly via the “E” key, which then allows you to place many blocks, enemies and other elements to customize levels or create new ones, with the possibility of offering them on a server.
Note that the project is entirely open source and will be offered on September 13. Now, there is the question of his sustainability: you know it as much as we do, but Nintendo is ruthless when you rub the licenses and it is difficult to see a world where the Kyoto firm does not effectively attack such a project. Worse still, his trailer made noise even before his exit and must have been seen and heard by Big N. The trick, as Joemala hopes, is to have Super Mario Bros. Remastered A complete remake: it does not use the original resources of the real Super Mario Bros. And a Roma nes will be requested to play, a strategy widely used for Nintendo 64 recompilation projects. To see what the principal concerned will say.
