This fan-created game, Super Mario and the Rainbow Stars, features 7 chapters and is currently available for download. The game merges elements from Paper Mario and the Mario and Luigi series into an engaging side-scrolling 2D platformer.
Doesn’t look bad at all, but aren’t Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series RPGs?
Feels weird to use them as examples for inspirations for a platformer.
Feels more like Yoshi’s Island elements thrown into a 2D version of Super Mario 3D World.
Super Paper Mario was more platformer than RPG.
Are we both talking about the original game for Nintendo 64? Because that sounds like a bit of an overstatement to me if that’s the case.
Or am I remembering something wrong?
No, sorry, I’m referring to the 2007 Wii game. Instead of turn based battles it was a more traditional 2d-3d hybrid platformer with RPG elements.
Get it now, before Nintendo finds out about it!
This easily looks like the best original fan made game ever. Good grief what creativity!

Now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a looooong time.
