SMW: Gaiden

Difficulty: 10

v1.13

In search of the princess, Mario finds himself led directly to the foot of the Mushroom Kingdom’s most seldom challenged mountain, M2. In spite of any anxiety regarding the less then reassuring success rate (1 in 108), he continues without hesitation.

What started as a simple level design exercise spiraled out of control into a full-fledged pseudo collab. Main influences include SMB2J and various Japanese romhacks. We hope to have succeeded in capturing that same feeling.
