A Super Mario Thing: Difference between revisions

{{work}}

 

 

The game stars Demo, an [[Ninja Pirate Robot Zombie|armless cycloptic demon alien minion]], which pretty much summarizes the nature of the game. During an attempt to purchase vegetables for her anonymous master, [[Teleporter Accident|something goes wrong]] and she is sent to what appears to be the Mushroom Kingdom of the future, falling right into (or as it were, onto) a deep-seated political conflict about food and is sent out to create a peaceful understanding between the two parties. Mayhem ensues.

 

 

You can find the game as an .ips patch on ROM Hack archive [http://www.smwcentral.net/?p=showhack&id=4147 SMWCentral].

A sequel, ''A Second Mario Thing'' (''A2MT''), is currently in the works, featuring several new characters, and attempting to deviate from a [[Raocow]] based fan project to a more general fan project, as per request of Raocow himself. Demo also stars in another ROM hack, ''What the Hell?'', by Raocow himself that is otherwise unconnected to ''ASMT''.

** One glaring example is in Trial of Iron which has a door at the beginning which takes you straight to the final boss.

* [[Elaborate Underground Base]]: King Charles' castle takes place in a volcano, and is rather large.

* [[Fission Mailed]]: OAME GVER.

* [[Foregone Victory]]: The credits, you can get hurt, but you cannot die.

* [[Giant Space Flea From Nowhere]]: Parodied with Black Plague.

* [[Gimmick Level]]: The later in the game you get, the more of these you see.

* [[Lethal Lava Land]]: King Charles' Castle, in parts.

* [[Let's Play]]: The game is unique in the sense that it was actually ''made'' (with some level of quality) for the sake of being LPed, with the LP predating the actual release. You can find it [http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=86AA363186795F7E here].

* [[Unique Enemy]]: The Worms' Cave is the only level in the game that has Blarggs other than the credits, and in one of the strangest examples of this trope, multiple enemies are ''only'' used in the credits sequence due to lack of coordination between level designers.

* [[Waddling Head]]: Tête D'Feu, Furba

* [[World of Chaos]]: As if the Mushroom Kingdom wasn't strange enough already...
