Super Mario Bros.: Interconnected

The original Super Mario Bros., but interconnected. Essentially, everything is in one big area; every level that can be conceivably put into the same room has been, and even for those that couldn't, there are no level transitions like you would find in a traditional Mario game.

This is more meant as a proof of concept than a preview. I made it as a game development exercise, just to see if the concept could potentially work. There's no guarantee that I'll actually be making a full game out of this.

A few shoutouts to some resources that came in handy while making this:

• Hello Mario Engine: A wonderful game engine that faithfully recreates the gameplay of the Super Mario series, with a massive suite of powerups and objects. This is what got me into GameMaker in the first place, and by extension game development.
• NES Maps: Comprehensive maps of every level in the game, as well as many other games, I'm sure. This project probably wouldn't have been possible without it.
• The Spriters Resource and The Sounds Resource: Sprites and sounds from all manner of video games.

And, of course, all credit to Nintendo and their dev team for the original Super Mario Bros. This project would have never even been a possibility if not for the great work they've done and continue to do.
