For real. Back in the day it was The Great Castle Adventure, The Princess Cliche, The Invasion, and now we have full conversion projects going on. It's mind-blowing.
So basically, Normal Mario and Yoshi Island type levels, 3D World type movement controls, Mario and Luigi type characters and humor, and Kirby like bosses (With the health bar especially and going into rage mode once reaching half health or so). This, is how you make the perfect fan game.
1:34 Ayo ain’t that Yoshi Island? Trailer is hype, so many new cool things, freaking 3d overworld map, epic sprite work, probably some side mode playing as Bowser Minions, it’s all coming together. This will be a fan game for the generations to come
This looks absolutely stunning!! The sprite work is awesome and the story looks pretty great!! I came across this game in a TH-cam short and really wanted to see the full thing. So glad I did! This project looks incredible and I can’t wait to see how it develops further!!
If someone from now went back in time and told everyone you were going to bring something like this to the table in the future while Super Mario 2D Universe X was still in development, they would definitely be called crazy. Amazing.
I stumbled upon your channel just now. I don't really play Mario fan games but I will most DEFINITELY play this. I also really like your Starfy PFP because that's one of my favorite Nintendo games. Maybe that could get a fan game at some point!
@@simonemancuso3576 it's not actually happening this year, but it's in active development. Right now all Starshi has to say about it is that it'll be ready "when it's ready"
Got this working on my Steamdeck and let me just say with all my heart and soul that this is my favourite Mario fangame yet! Being a huge fan of both the Paper Mario Thousand Year Door and the Mario and Luigi games I was immedietely sold! At first I struggled getting this game to work on my steamdeck but then the discord server helped me out! :).
hey starshi! just finished SMATRS demo 2! and i gotta say, it’s absolutely amazing, the pixel art, story, dialogue, it’s all so amazing. and can we talk about that special level after getting all the rainbow shards? that was really awesome! love the celeste mechanics! anyway, i loved it, and it has inspired me to make my own fangame, so.. i think i will! again, this is amazing, i love it, SO MUCH!
I just got done 100% completing the demo and HOLY RAVIOLI is this game amazing! I have never played a more polished, original, and genuinely fantastic fangame like this ever! It is SUCH a good time to be a Mario fan! I cannot wait until the full release of this masterpiece!
just finished the demo and absolutely loved it! movement feels freeing and satisfying and music choices are fantastic across the board-especially the original tracks!
I love it so far! I am really impressed by almost everything in this, from the art, the music, and the gameplay, it all looks so sauce! Cant wait to play it
This is gonna be huge if not already. Been following this project since the very beginning. I remember when you first started this channel and how far you've come within the last 7 years.
Care and effort have been put on every bit of dialogue in the demo. As one of the people who has written dialogue for it (and this one in particular is my idea), it sure was fun.
I have just finished playing the last aviable version. I must say it is SUBLIME. The quality of the animations, the new ideas, the art and design concepts, and the variety of difficulties. From a simple level such the first one, to the challenging star-world level. I also love so much the mechanics. Good job! I hope you can finish this masterpiece to let us enjoy this majestic project!!!
I'm so glad that I heard about this really AMAZING looking fanmade game Super Mario Bros and the Rainbow Stars in yesterday, then I subscribed your channel and today there came Demo premiere livestream video what really surprised me I really like this is a 2D platformer Mario game with a beautiful pixel art style just as on GBA or DS, interesting story, characters looks nice they even Goombas talking, level design and the World map looks AWESOME, it's no nice to see this game have a new powerups, but also old powerups too like the Cat Bell from Super Mario 3D World it's so interesting to see how it works in a 2D Mario game, star friens are cool and the name is AMAZING this is how Nintendo SHOULD make Super Mario Bros games they NEEDS to learn from you the fans and not delete these games now i'm going to download the demo and play this i'm so excited thank you Starshi Super Mario Bros & The Rainbow Stars: Let's a GOO WAHOO! 🌠🌈
Congratulations on the release of the demo of your project! It seems everything is going well, I wish you the best in the continuation of the project. Thank you for your hard work 🙏🙏🙏
This Was Amazing. It really manages to show how much potential smbx2 really has. The Graphics are amazing, The bosses were creative and the overall experience was wonderfull and blew my mind.
From the first 5 seconds of the video, this brought a nostalgic smile to my face. Not only is there charm oozing from this game, the trailer masterfully captures it. SO MUCH respect
WOW! Just wow. I just became aware of this game as i was searching youtube for super mario Content and i immidietly fell in love with it! The Graphics is Insane, and the Gameplay is SMOOTH!!! Try it out if you have time. Keep it up, Dev Team!!!
As a software engineer considering going into game development, you opened my eyes to the potential of start-up fan-made games. I don't comment that much but you got my upvote on this! Great work publishing the game and source code. I am on chapter 1 right now and definitely getting the Paper Mario vibes!
Just finished the demo. And I gotta say. Everything about this fangame is amazing. The controls are very good, the level design is very creative, the boss are very fun, and the difficulty is just right (at least for chapter 1). Not to mention the sprite work and story. Can't wait to see where this fan game will go from here.
I have played the entire demo to 100%, the game is amazing and I'm more than hyped to see where this goes. I like the way that powerups work of simply changing the gameplay in sections made for them, I see potential of making really creative courses with them. I love the design of the new characters, I particularly like Pilo T. he just looks so cool, but everyone else is excellent. The level of difficulty is really balanced, and considering that it's a first world I'm expecting this to become pretty hard going forward, which I'm excited to see. The extra rift level was extremely fun to get platinum rank in (also based A Hat in Time music which I don't know if it's temporary or not but I love that game so I just liked it. Mario + AHiT music is what they give you in paradise I think), but, even if it didn't disrupt anything of the gameplay and it only happened once, I had a singular moment of the game freezing for about 2 seconds or going slow, nothing impactful but I'm just pointing it out, it was during a jump from a bubble in that level. It never happened again, happened once, didn't have consequences on the run, and it's just really minor. I've found some minor bugs or just stuff that looked like it wasn't intentional. Some walls that get to the top of the screen out of camera view can be jumped on and thus skip some small sections, but it doesn't happen everywhere, only in some specific places, so I doubt it's intentional, and in one specific spot in I believe was the first level if you keep running you eventuall get blocked by something outside of the camera and the screen vibrates if you try going right, and you just go back and don't skip. Other bugs I can think of are very few, there was once a time I groundpounded a coin block and Mario was stunned for a second, which I thought it was something like enemies getting hit from a block (?) but it was Mario doing that to himself. It never happened again and it's incredibly minor. In the water level, there's this cool mechanic of looping from the top and the bottom of the screen, but there was this spot of strong current pushing Mario towards electric hazards near the bottom of the screen. there was stuff at the top of the screen, so I tried going there by looping, I was blocked by a non-visible ground, got hit by the hazard due to the current, and passed through it (like it normally works) but since I was holding down I got off screen and looped, but the spot I was looped in had a wall there, so Mario remained stuck in it and died because the game is programmed like that. I just think it's a weird way to die that looks unpolished to someone dying there by accident just by checking something with the gimmick of the level, so it'd be nice to fix that somehow. The second and final boss of the demo felt a little too easy compared to Goombooter in the first stage, which I struggled against at first and died a couple times. I casually no-hit the boss in blind, both phases, Starry was busted and way too spammable. I suggest to find ways to nerf Starry during boss fights, because the Goombooter fight, which you fight without Starry, was much harder because of it. Outside of those minor nitpicks, the game was lots of fun and I enjoyed every part of it, I'm hyped to see where the game gets. Edit: Oh yeah, the pixel art is yummy. Just REALLY yummy.
No, Nintendo doesn't go after fangames like these. Also, v1.0.2 is out now!
Download! superstarshi.github.io/
Make a version for Android, and my life is yours.
@@JaydenW_001I was gonna ask that lol, but yeah please make a Android port I know its 1000% possible and I actually like playing games on my phondz
Is this a Fam game or a ROM hack?
Will this release on Android?
You make to demo 3 world 2 okay
Yep. Checking this out ASAP!
Yoo DGR
It's DGR!
no way..
Hey man great stream!
Uncle DGR
the fact this is all done in SMBX2 is wildly impressive, this is basically a completely different game now!
For real. Back in the day it was The Great Castle Adventure, The Princess Cliche, The Invasion, and now we have full conversion projects going on. It's mind-blowing.
What's SMBX2?
@@supermonk3y07A Mario Editor Game
@@EeveeEuphoria wait FR??
@@Lima_does_stuffYep, the engine is evolving to amazing levels pretty much daily at this point!
So basically, Normal Mario and Yoshi Island type levels, 3D World type movement controls, Mario and Luigi type characters and humor, and Kirby like bosses (With the health bar especially and going into rage mode once reaching half health or so). This, is how you make the perfect fan game.
Nintendo don’t you dare take this down…
This looks amazing omg
If Nintendo takes this down, it’s canon
It doesn’t need to be canon to cancel lol.
Makes me wish nintendo knew what a fangame was.
It's free publicity but alright
With how much effort went into this, I would hope that they could retool it into its own thing, because it would be a shame to lose this entirely
They will. It's not NOT going to happen. You can't get anything past them now.
Even though mushrooms are villains, I can't stop admiring how cute they are.
Yeah. Nintendo does that. Haven't you seen the Kirby games? Even some of the enemies are cute and adorable.
@@stripedrajang3571 gordo is the cutest
1:34 Ayo ain’t that Yoshi Island?
Trailer is hype, so many new cool things, freaking 3d overworld map, epic sprite work, probably some side mode playing as Bowser Minions, it’s all coming together. This will be a fan game for the generations to come
1:34 is actually Yoshi’s house from SMW on the SNES
to me, this is the same kind of excitement i would get waiting for a demo of a new official mario game, i cant wait to experience this 😊😊
This to me feels like the same equivalent to Sonic and The Fallen Star and honestly I’m glad to see fan games like this.
Fangame with amazing sprites involving stars
Indeed the feel this game gives is a Sonic one. If a Sonic game were made like this currently it would surely be a hit.
Same, looks fun
dang i like sonic and the fallen star but tbh
i think mario and the rainbow star game will be better than sonic and the fallen star
This is gonna be awesome!!! :O Incredible trailer too :]
:O

The world map looks SO incredible! Please never abandon this project!
I can't wait to see the hard work that went into this demo you made.
Been watching the progress of this project for a while, and it just looks better and better with each update. Definitely gonna check out the demo!
This game looks so amazing I'm so excited!
this so diffrent it is insane

How did you get it on Steamdeck? I might get one if I can run SMBX2 on it :D
Which version of Proton did you use to get it running?
Im so exited I hope the story is amazing
You did a great job. Really great. The world map, the level design, the art style is just ✨PERFECT✨
The fact you can have a 3D world map in SMBX nowadays is jaw-dropping
hey starshi! just finished SMATRS demo 2! and i gotta say, it’s absolutely amazing, the pixel art, story, dialogue, it’s all so amazing. and can we talk about that special level after getting all the rainbow shards? that was really awesome! love the celeste mechanics! anyway, i loved it, and it has inspired me to make my own fangame, so.. i think i will! again, this is amazing, i love it, SO MUCH!
At long last, it's here! :D
This has to be the most effort put in I've seen for a Mario fan project. You did absolutely great work. I'm so excited to see the full game.
Absolutely fantastic looking. You did an amazing job on the demo alone
The dark star’s new design, Bowser’s new improved trio, The boss battles. I don’t know what to be excited about!?
I love the way this game looks already! I'm hopping on this TODAY!!!
Saw this on a post on Facebook, looks great you’re surely going viral soon!

Played the 2nd Demo and I loved every bit

This looks sick as heck, keep up the good work, man!
1:04 "SIKE! Take this!" That's how dialog should look like in every Mario game.
Care and effort have been put on every bit of dialogue in the demo.
As one of the people who has written dialogue for it (and this one in particular is my idea), it sure was fun.
Yessurrr @@suckerman7gm
@@suckerman7gm please add co-op in the later versions.
YO THIS LOOKS SO COOL! the sprite work is amazing, i hope to try the full version when it comes out👍
this looks like an office game trailer
1:55 is that the dark star from Mario and Luigi bowsers inside story like that has to be him bro.

Why can’t Nintendo make anything this good?
This Was Amazing. It really manages to show how much potential smbx2 really has. The Graphics are amazing, The bosses were creative and the overall experience was wonderfull and blew my mind.
Don’t be surprised when you get a call from Nintendo wanting to buy this game for millions lmao
they would probably shut it down lol

Looks like something I would've played on the DS, this looks dope
Probably the best-looking Mario fan game! The Sprites are so unique looking. Great Work!
Very cool game! Its stylised but has things from lots of different games.
Saw DGR's video, decided to give it a go. As someone who isn't much of a platformer, I'm glad there is a difficulty setting...!
I’m playing this as soon as I can
I’ve never heard of this game before, but this trailer alone has piqued my interest!
This is looking hype! I cant wait to see this blow up in the future!

The level of difficulty is really balanced, and considering that it's a first world I'm expecting this to become pretty hard going forward, which I'm excited to see.
The extra rift level was extremely fun to get platinum rank in (also based A Hat in Time music which I don't know if it's temporary or not but I love that game so I just liked it. Mario + AHiT music is what they give you in paradise I think), but, even if it didn't disrupt anything of the gameplay and it only happened once, I had a singular moment of the game freezing for about 2 seconds or going slow, nothing impactful but I'm just pointing it out, it was during a jump from a bubble in that level. It never happened again, happened once, didn't have consequences on the run, and it's just really minor.
I've found some minor bugs or just stuff that looked like it wasn't intentional.

The second and final boss of the demo felt a little too easy compared to Goombooter in the first stage, which I struggled against at first and died a couple times. I casually no-hit the boss in blind, both phases, Starry was busted and way too spammable. I suggest to find ways to nerf Starry during boss fights, because the Goombooter fight, which you fight without Starry, was much harder because of it.
Outside of those minor nitpicks, the game was lots of fun and I enjoyed every part of it, I'm hyped to see where the game gets.
Edit: Oh yeah, the pixel art is yummy. Just REALLY yummy.
This game is AMAZING so far!!! GREAT JOB on this one!!!
Even it is just a demo, I feel like this is going to be the best SMBX2 project ever! Definitely going to play it!
The trailer looks genuinely amazing and the soundtrack is fantastic too. A lot of charme as well!
From one Starfy fan to another this game slaps!
Played through the first level right now and everything is just beautiful. The graphics are so pleasant and the gameplay mechanics are very engaging
