Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator






4 years ago

I had big plans to add lots of transformations, the pictures not even being all of them. They would include old, new, and even custom ones! I'll tell you how they would work in the article


I just thought of an idea that would make these powerups not overpowered! I was just planning on them being usable until the rest of the battle, but their attacks would obviously be powerful because they would only be playable if their respective powerup was purchased in the shop. I call it "powerup points". Once you consume the item and transform, you'll get powerup points. Each of the transformation's attacks will cost powerup points. If you run out, you turn back into the original character. Sounds pretty balanced, right? Now let's talk about those pictures:

Fire Mario: He'd have pretty standard attacks. His first one would have you press Z repeatedly to charge up a fireball, making it bigger. If it got too big, it would explode.

Tanooki Mario: One of his attacks would be similar to Wario's ground pound, where he'd jump and then turn into stone to crush the enemy.

Propeller Mario: His attacks include spinning and more spinning. Did I mention spinning?

Boo Mario: He's never spit spirit fire before like some boos do, I'd probably add that to his arsenal. One of his attacks would be teleporting behind the enemy and spooking them.

Rock Mario: Of course one of my favorite powerups had to be planned. He'd curl up into a giant rock ball and roll over the enemy.

Snow Mario: This is one of the custom powerups I found. In fact, it's the only one I have that's worth keeping at the moment lol. He'd have a stronger jump and be able to throw snowballs.

It would be easier to just make them one move instead of fully playable (actually maybe I should do that. I'll think about it) but that wouldn't be fun. Cya next time!

The first test for detailed palette swapping was successful (for the most part)!

What's really funny about the poll is that Sonic was the least voted for. I bet you changed your mind now XD (Work in progress)

The first two player battle is here!!! I finally figured out how to code it, and the first boss fight to celebrate is quite the unorthodox one. Iconic duo vs iconic duo. Enjoy, and thank you for this wonderful milestone!

We've got EVEN MORE great art from your fellow Jolters for #GameJoltColors25!

The artists are all tagged 🔽 Be sure to like their original posts!

The first boss battle of the next update is none other than the great Papyrus! Luigi seems to be struggling a bit... but he has something up his sleeve this time. Read the article for details on Papyrus' attacks

This week's Fan Art Friday celebrates Wario! Accept the quest in your quest log to get started.

Here's a work in progress of Mr. L's third attack: his signature super jump! There's 2 parts to it, the first being the aiming of where you land and then charging up the power. With spiky enemies like Basilisx here, you'll have to intentionally miss

To thank you for the overwhelming support the release of the new update has received, here's a sneak peek at something I'm working on! (Wip)

We have a question and we wanna know: What's your favorite platformer? Complete the quest and you'll get 100 Coins!

Through some quick testing, I can confirm that Superstar Simulator works perfectly on Steam Deck! All you need to do is add the EXE file to your Steam Library, set the launch option to Proton, and set your controls to keyboard and touch screen!
