LinksSUPER MARIO BROS. X
Description
Super Mario Bros. X (SMBX) is a homebrew Mario Bros. engine project that blends elements from Super Mario 1, 2, 3 and World, with SMB3 physics. It contains an extensive point-and-click level editor that allows for the creation classic Super Mario Bros. styled levels. It is possible to create episodes using either the SMB3 or SMW styled world map, or using a Mario 64 style hub level that has the players collect stars to advance. The game is playable with a friend in the 2 player co-op mode, where the screen seamlessly splits and combines as the players separate and rejoin. Custom graphics and custom music can be imported into levels.
There are classic power-ups such as the Fire Flower, Tanooki Suit, Yoshi, and Kuribo's Shoe, but also new power-ups like the Ice Flower, The Billy Gun, and the Propeller Block. Besides Mario and Luigi, there are also Toad, Princess Peach and Link as playable characters.
Levels and episodes made in SMBX require the engine to play. Currently, there is no stane-alone option for distribution. SMBX is coded in Visual Basic.
A download link for the original SMBX version 1.3 is provided here, while the official website contains links to various newer forked versions developed by the community.

CloseYou can replace the graphics and music so it doesn't look like a Mario game, but you can't change the underlying physics, sounds, or HUD displays.
author=Miloswhy the heck would it be called mario x if you could make other games?
Can this engine be used to make games other than Super Mario?
author=kentona
You could make a Zelda 2 like game, I suppose. But yeah, you can't change the underlying physics or core gameplay.
That's what I was thinking of doing,but I wasn't sure how limited the engine was.
I'm pretty sure I could make a good remake of Zelda 2,but the hud and certain physics are making it harder.I mean in Zelda 2 you could not jump on enemies to kill them right?
author=Otaboit installs and runs on one of the computers but when i install it on mine (witch is better by every conceivable pc spec.) it will only run if the sound is disabled?
Try downloading it from a different place. I've had that same problem before.

Where did you d/l it from?
I've Deleted and then re-downloaded SMBX but I still get the same error
author=SuperMarioBroniesYeah, McAfee hates SMBX. I can't remember the exact error or quarantine, but it has something to do with some sort of adware thing.
It doesnt work on my computer, it worked on my VISTA computer, but mom replaced it with a school computer and it has the wierd version of mcafee
author=GreatRedSpirit
When exactly did it occur? What steps did you take prior to the error occurring?
Unfortunately, I don't have an exact time. My computer is becoming crappy and Im resorting to getting a computer tech person.
The error has something to do with my "Window's registry" becoming clogged,
So far It's only happened to SMBX, but I fear my other programs are in danger....
I've looked online and there are a few "Free" Window's registry cleaners, but every one I download asks me to register, and when I try to nothing happens.
This Frustrates me to no end, not knowing how to solve the problem myself,
and the fact that I can't finish my Near-complete game >=l
EDIT: HUZZAH! I might of figured it out....
A- My computer cannot collect all the files from the download, so only the icon from shows up, but not the start up files. Therefore, when I click the icon it tries to load something up that's not there, thus producing the error 399!
B- something is wrong with the download file on this site, and I cannot collect the engine start up file. Therefore, when I click the icon it tries to load something up that's not there, thus producing the error 399!
Either A or B, I believe it's more so A than B.
EDIT 2: I just did a complete system restore.
Can't afford a technician right now, so I got my bro to do something.
He told me to restart my system, keeping files, but no launchers, on a flash drive.
Complete success! =D I can continue making!
