Mario FA - Vanishing Colosseum

[Neweegee]

I don't know how to really explain this game but I'll try

it's my first Mario Fangame that I've really shown. Featuring graphics drawn by me! (except most of the fonts, those were too boring to draw) And New Super Mario Bros. style music(not much BAH though).

In the game, You're Mario, it's been 10 years, almost everything has changed


and for some reason your best friend(and Partner-in-Platforming) is a Piranha Plant named Patty.

There's actually a bit of a story from that point but whatever.

The goal is to get to the end of each Round in a Stage, kinda like Super Mario Kart. You can switch between Mario and Patty to use their abilities to beat enemies and collect coins to power up and use even stronger moves plus reduce the time you took at the end of the round(sorry Speed Runners, but you'll have to explore the level to really get the fastest time)!


Some pics!

Spoiler

I'm making this in Game Maker Studio, but I've built the game's engine from scratch.

You can download the current demo and tell me what do you think! I've made 1 of 4 planned Stages and 4 of 17 planned Rounds in the demo. (sorry no actual vanishing colosseum in the demo)
There's some slope issues but I'm still working that out.

Also, the controls in case you feel pro enough to play the game without reading the info file that comes with it.
