Super Duper Mario! (A Really Super Mario Adventure!)

[Hoeloe]

The point he's making is not that the game is bad, but that the game is very, very good, and it would be doing yourself an injustice to make it a Mario fangame. The "mask" he's referring to is something you may not even have been aware of. All he means is that the only real reason this has Mario in it is for cheap publicity (going by the rule that: "people like Mario, so I'll make a Mario game, now people like my game"). The point is that you could quite easily get people to like this game, and like it a lot, WITHOUT having Mario in it. You'd not only get a more original product, but also have the full rights to your game, so if you ever wanted to sell it, or adapt it to console, you have the ability to do so.

I agree with Meta here, because this game has the potential to be very successful, not just to get lost among a sea of Mario fangames.
