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)!

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!

I reached 2000 subscribers on Youtube, so to celebrate, the special video will break a long running code barrier I've had

Vivian - Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door

Welcome to the new improved Superstar Simulator experience!! With customizable battle scenarios and an overhaul of the flow of battles, let the new era of this Mario RPG Simulator commence!

The 2024 remake of The Thousand-Year Door reconfirmed that Vivian is trans through a scene where she talks about how it took time for her to realize she was her brothers' sister and not their brother.

Here's a heavy work in progress of the new pause menu! More options will be available, but for now I added the ability to choose between each available palette

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

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
