Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator

Luigi's picture poker is finally complete! It was my most difficult coding challenge yet, and the result is super satisfying. A big thanks to my spriting team for making it look beautiful. Read the article to see how the minigame works


You beat Luigi if you have better card rarities than him. Cloud is lowest, then Mushroom, Flower, Luigi, Mario, and Star is the highest. You have a higher chance to win if you have the same amount of card rarities in one hand. One pair beats nothing, then 2 pairs, 3 of a kind, Full House (3 of a kind and a pair in the same hand), 4 of a kind, and then Flush (5 of a kind). If you both have the same hand, then the scores are counted to see who wins. But if the score and hands are the exact same with both players, nobody wins. You can set the multiplier for how many coins you or Luigi receive when one of you wins. The multiplier multiplies the score you get when you win and gives you that amount in coins for you to spend.

As the optimizations carry on, I've added small things in between the tedious coding to avoid burnout. This is Shadow's advance move during his spindash attack, where he throws a quick chaos spear diagonally during the bounce back

Pepperman is complete! That's the 3rd battle of the update done, and with that it is over 90% complete! Read the article for details on Pepperman's attacks

Here's a better look at the new backgrounds and songs. Also a new background addition that screams CHAOS

Who's also excited for the new Mario & Luigi game?! #GJAsks

Here's Wario's finished piledriver special attack! The only change I need to make to it is the visuals of the trampoline

Wasn't really motivated today. Just have this Mr.Virtual doodle.

We at the Superstar Simulator coding team (of 1) take our work VERY seriously

I've added a few more unique battle backgrounds as well as splitting the Mario and Mario RPG songs into their own categories for easier navigation through the customization menu

I can’t unhear this version of Coconut Mall now. Thanks RANVISION 😂

Here's a work in progress of the EXE battle optimizations. The phase 2 theme was a for fun addition that I'll probably revert before release unless everyone wants me to keep it
