PSYCHO WALUIGI

CloseI'm always defensive when it comes to people to say that "all fangames are shit". You know why? Because it's still possible to make a good game based on another series, and the fact that it's based off another series to begin with does NOT affect the game play.
In fact, the only reason why people would say that fan games tend to sucks is that they are done by awful, young developers who do not understand what good game design is. Psycho Waluigi, however, is an exception.
Psycho Waluigi is an indie game developed by Thunder Dragon. The game involves the under-appreciated Mario character, Waluigi, and his conquest of the land of Unconcia. He basically discovers that he has psychic powers, and now plans to use them to take over every kingdom in the land.
The gameplay is pretty unique. It takes the classic mario-styled platforming and does so much more with it. Waluigi can use his psychic powers to pick up objects, enemies, and whatnot and toss it at other objects and enemies. In addition, you can perform "mind control" over particular enemies with special abilities. You can freeze foes with a Walrus, shock people with a jellyfish blooper thing, and shoot fireballs from piranha plants.
Needless to say, this game is awesome, but if words won't convince you, here is a video of the first level:
You can get the demo to the game here:

Anyway, has anyone else tried this? I just love any fan game that actually shows some competence and originality, something which there seems to be a lack of with most fan games in the indie game world, most notably with the RPG Maker community.
So RPG Makers, you see that? UP YOUR STANDARDS WHEN IT COMES TO FAN GAMES NAAAAOOOOOOOOOOOOW! :)

Isn't Waluigi a throwaway character from a tennis game because Nintendo needed an evil version of Luigi?
Edit: Oh, it's a homemade game. It actually looks quite professional.

These were my exact sentiments at first. I don't know how Waluigi grew on me, but I'm somehow cool with him now.
Also, as weird as this is, it does look to be quite well done, and I wholly agree that fan games don't have to be awful. Though I guess that most competent developers would rather make something original instead...

Isn't Mario a throwaway character from Donkey Kong because Nintendo needed a working class everyman?

That is too true.

The only thing I dislike is the health part of the game, as every mario/wario/luigi platformer didn't have that. But an extremely minor detail compared to how amazing this looks.

Good thing this is not even close to true.

How so? The only health they'd have is where they get a mushroom, then some kind of power up. They wouldn't have 6 parts to their health, or even on display.

Mario 2? Wario Land? Super Princess Peach? Hell, pretty much every mario game released after 1996 (sans New Super Mario Bros).
Even if it were true though, it's a lame reason to even nitpick.

ever played a warioland game?
Yup, I owned the first one, and the second and third didn't have a health meter either. It showed up in the fourth one.

Okay, you got me with Mario 2, I forgot about that one. And as for it being lame to nitpick? I completely agree.

I'm sure Pauline is sitting somewhere plotting Peach's death.
