This was a project years ago when this place was still Pixeltendo. That made considerable progress and then collapsed, and it collapsed for a reason; it was too involved and not worthwhile as it went from an idealized fan game to just redesigning an already established and franchised IP(in other words we all got bored and most of the board was helping out with this project). I'm not trying to rain on your parade but you have nothing to show and I'm not really convinced that you know what you're doing. You have a good heart, but this seems poorly thought out and while you claim to have an engine you gave us no footage or even screenshots with dummy graphics to show off what you've worked on and from what you posted you really just seem to have bitten off far more than you can chew.
What I do recommend though is that you keep at this and you keep your engine. You show us what you got and hopefully some people join you. But drop the Mario franchise, make this your own brainchild and go crazy with the creativity. Allow your team to be creative and don't tie them down to an already established IP (also by making this your own you have no chance of getting a cease and desist letter. Granted Nintendo really doesn't send those out but eh it's bound to happen and it'd be a shame to have worked so hard for literally nothing).
