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.
2020 Update:
Since February 2, 2020, the source code of SMBX is
now open under MIT license (license file in a repository):

EDIT: I see that was already reported a while back. Whoops.
Seriously this thing is awesome And RMN has been Missing out! A Chinese Coder Named 5438A38A made this from the ground up recreating, and improving upon SMBX! It is even able to convert classic SMBX Levels to the new format, but bit of a warning if you want to convert old levels, there is now a max for resizable Blocks, so If your Level Makes them Giant they might get all messed up when converting.
It's not very Well Documented, and I don't even know much about it myself(I just Discovered It Today) So I'd recommend Downloading and giving it a go to understand how versatile it is.
EDIT: Just Found this playlist that shows off its power in levels.
the mechanics of SMBX 1.4.2 appeals to me. It's physics engine
is virtually the same with a more debugged performance.
Whereas SMBX 1.4.4 is much more complicated.
Hali? Get on that.
I much prefer SMBX 2.0, a similar project that is said to have been directly built off of the old SMBX somehow, plus it has Lua support.
To be honest, shouldn't downloads be made/they be added to the Engine list, or perhaps replace the current SMBX since they are both treated as updates to the engine?
1.3.0.1 is very outdated and pretty much everyone moved away from it nowadays
It could be posted as a separate engine as it's an unofficial extension mod over the same SMBX 1.3 game which is maintained by different people than the original SMBX was. It's more like a different engine rather than just a "new version of SMBX".

Can you make like a Mario RPG fan game with this?
This engine and all its branches are 2D platformer engines. Using their default functionality won't allow you everything, so, result will depend on your ideas and knowledge of functionality of these engines. You may create a kind of RPG-like game if you use scripts at SMBX-38A or SMBX2 and save various custom data, etc. You may want ask HengShao guy who makes a lot of "black magic" with the SMBX-38A branch. He appears at various SMBX-related Discord servers and on the smbx-world Chinese forum for the SMBX.
But, if you want a game with isometric look and FF-like battles, you may want use different engines than this, or do a serious "black magic" with graphics and mechanics on the SMBX and its branches.
