For real. Back in the day it was The Great Castle Adventure, The Princess Cliche, The Invasion, and now we have full conversion projects going on. It's mind-blowing.
So basically, Normal Mario and Yoshi Island type levels, 3D World type movement controls, Mario and Luigi type characters and humor, and Kirby like bosses (With the health bar especially and going into rage mode once reaching half health or so). This, is how you make the perfect fan game.
This looks absolutely stunning!! The sprite work is awesome and the story looks pretty great!! I came across this game in a RUclips short and really wanted to see the full thing. So glad I did! This project looks incredible and I can’t wait to see how it develops further!!
If someone from now went back in time and told everyone you were going to bring something like this to the table in the future while Super Mario 2D Universe X was still in development, they would definitely be called crazy. Amazing.
Got this working on my Steamdeck and let me just say with all my heart and soul that this is my favourite Mario fangame yet! Being a huge fan of both the Paper Mario Thousand Year Door and the Mario and Luigi games I was immedietely sold! At first I struggled getting this game to work on my steamdeck but then the discord server helped me out! :).
I stumbled upon your channel just now. I don't really play Mario fan games but I will most DEFINITELY play this. I also really like your Starfy PFP because that's one of my favorite Nintendo games. Maybe that could get a fan game at some point!
hey starshi! just finished SMATRS demo 2! and i gotta say, it’s absolutely amazing, the pixel art, story, dialogue, it’s all so amazing. and can we talk about that special level after getting all the rainbow shards? that was really awesome! love the celeste mechanics! anyway, i loved it, and it has inspired me to make my own fangame, so.. i think i will! again, this is amazing, i love it, SO MUCH!
@@simonemancuso3576 it's not actually happening this year, but it's in active development. Right now all Starshi has to say about it is that it'll be ready "when it's ready"
I just got done 100% completing the demo and HOLY RAVIOLI is this game amazing! I have never played a more polished, original, and genuinely fantastic fangame like this ever! It is SUCH a good time to be a Mario fan! I cannot wait until the full release of this masterpiece!
From the first 5 seconds of the video, this brought a nostalgic smile to my face. Not only is there charm oozing from this game, the trailer masterfully captures it. SO MUCH respect
I have just finished playing the last aviable version. I must say it is SUBLIME. The quality of the animations, the new ideas, the art and design concepts, and the variety of difficulties. From a simple level such the first one, to the challenging star-world level. I also love so much the mechanics. Good job! I hope you can finish this masterpiece to let us enjoy this majestic project!!!
This is gonna be huge if not already. Been following this project since the very beginning. I remember when you first started this channel and how far you've come within the last 7 years.
just finished the demo and absolutely loved it! movement feels freeing and satisfying and music choices are fantastic across the board-especially the original tracks!
As a software engineer considering going into game development, you opened my eyes to the potential of start-up fan-made games. I don't comment that much but you got my upvote on this! Great work publishing the game and source code. I am on chapter 1 right now and definitely getting the Paper Mario vibes!
I love it so far! I am really impressed by almost everything in this, from the art, the music, and the gameplay, it all looks so sauce! Cant wait to play it
WOW! Just wow. I just became aware of this game as i was searching youtube for super mario Content and i immidietly fell in love with it! The Graphics is Insane, and the Gameplay is SMOOTH!!! Try it out if you have time. Keep it up, Dev Team!!!
Care and effort have been put on every bit of dialogue in the demo. As one of the people who has written dialogue for it (and this one in particular is my idea), it sure was fun.
Congratulations on the release of the demo of your project! It seems everything is going well, I wish you the best in the continuation of the project. Thank you for your hard work 🙏🙏🙏
This Was Amazing. It really manages to show how much potential smbx2 really has. The Graphics are amazing, The bosses were creative and the overall experience was wonderfull and blew my mind.
I'm so glad that I heard about this really AMAZING looking fanmade game Super Mario Bros and the Rainbow Stars in yesterday, then I subscribed your channel and today there came Demo premiere livestream video what really surprised me I really like this is a 2D platformer Mario game with a beautiful pixel art style just as on GBA or DS, interesting story, characters looks nice they even Goombas talking, level design and the World map looks AWESOME, it's no nice to see this game have a new powerups, but also old powerups too like the Cat Bell from Super Mario 3D World it's so interesting to see how it works in a 2D Mario game, star friens are cool and the name is AMAZING this is how Nintendo SHOULD make Super Mario Bros games they NEEDS to learn from you the fans and not delete these games now i'm going to download the demo and play this i'm so excited thank you Starshi Super Mario Bros & The Rainbow Stars: Let's a GOO WAHOO! 🌠🌈
Just finished the demo. And I gotta say. Everything about this fangame is amazing. The controls are very good, the level design is very creative, the boss are very fun, and the difficulty is just right (at least for chapter 1). Not to mention the sprite work and story. Can't wait to see where this fan game will go from here.
This is excellent, especially the movement. You know what would be amazing? Bringing over the crouch to handstand to handstand jump to handstand double jump from Donkey Kong '94; it was really one of the Mario franchise's most fun, fluid, and acrobatic moves, and so intuitive to use. Real shame it never really made a comeback anywhere but Mario vs. Donkey Kong; if Rainbow Stars is taking the best features from across the franchise I'd love to see this one!
This is the kind of Mario game i've wanted since World and I thought we would never get since major studios mostly abandoned pixel art. It's incredibly gorgeous, i'm definitely gonna give it a try!
I have played the entire demo to 100%, the game is amazing and I'm more than hyped to see where this goes. I like the way that powerups work of simply changing the gameplay in sections made for them, I see potential of making really creative courses with them. I love the design of the new characters, I particularly like Pilo T. he just looks so cool, but everyone else is excellent. The level of difficulty is really balanced, and considering that it's a first world I'm expecting this to become pretty hard going forward, which I'm excited to see. The extra rift level was extremely fun to get platinum rank in (also based A Hat in Time music which I don't know if it's temporary or not but I love that game so I just liked it. Mario + AHiT music is what they give you in paradise I think), but, even if it didn't disrupt anything of the gameplay and it only happened once, I had a singular moment of the game freezing for about 2 seconds or going slow, nothing impactful but I'm just pointing it out, it was during a jump from a bubble in that level. It never happened again, happened once, didn't have consequences on the run, and it's just really minor. I've found some minor bugs or just stuff that looked like it wasn't intentional. Some walls that get to the top of the screen out of camera view can be jumped on and thus skip some small sections, but it doesn't happen everywhere, only in some specific places, so I doubt it's intentional, and in one specific spot in I believe was the first level if you keep running you eventuall get blocked by something outside of the camera and the screen vibrates if you try going right, and you just go back and don't skip. Other bugs I can think of are very few, there was once a time I groundpounded a coin block and Mario was stunned for a second, which I thought it was something like enemies getting hit from a block (?) but it was Mario doing that to himself. It never happened again and it's incredibly minor. In the water level, there's this cool mechanic of looping from the top and the bottom of the screen, but there was this spot of strong current pushing Mario towards electric hazards near the bottom of the screen. there was stuff at the top of the screen, so I tried going there by looping, I was blocked by a non-visible ground, got hit by the hazard due to the current, and passed through it (like it normally works) but since I was holding down I got off screen and looped, but the spot I was looped in had a wall there, so Mario remained stuck in it and died because the game is programmed like that. I just think it's a weird way to die that looks unpolished to someone dying there by accident just by checking something with the gimmick of the level, so it'd be nice to fix that somehow. The second and final boss of the demo felt a little too easy compared to Goombooter in the first stage, which I struggled against at first and died a couple times. I casually no-hit the boss in blind, both phases, Starry was busted and way too spammable. I suggest to find ways to nerf Starry during boss fights, because the Goombooter fight, which you fight without Starry, was much harder because of it. Outside of those minor nitpicks, the game was lots of fun and I enjoyed every part of it, I'm hyped to see where the game gets. Edit: Oh yeah, the pixel art is yummy. Just REALLY yummy.

Yep. Checking this out ASAP!

It's DGR!
no way..
Hey man great stream!
Uncle DGR
the fact this is all done in SMBX2 is wildly impressive, this is basically a completely different game now!

What's SMBX2?
@@supermonk3y07A Mario Editor Game
@@EeveeEuphoria wait FR??
@@Lima_does_stuffYep, the engine is evolving to amazing levels pretty much daily at this point!
So basically, Normal Mario and Yoshi Island type levels, 3D World type movement controls, Mario and Luigi type characters and humor, and Kirby like bosses (With the health bar especially and going into rage mode once reaching half health or so). This, is how you make the perfect fan game.
Nintendo don’t you dare take this down…
This looks amazing omg
If Nintendo takes this down, it’s canon
It doesn’t need to be canon to cancel lol.
Makes me wish nintendo knew what a fangame was.
It's free publicity but alright
With how much effort went into this, I would hope that they could retool it into its own thing, because it would be a shame to lose this entirely
They will. It's not NOT going to happen. You can't get anything past them now.
to me, this is the same kind of excitement i would get waiting for a demo of a new official mario game, i cant wait to experience this 😊😊
Even though mushrooms are villains, I can't stop admiring how cute they are.
Yeah. Nintendo does that. Haven't you seen the Kirby games? Even some of the enemies are cute and adorable.
@@stripedrajang3571 gordo is the cutest
This to me feels like the same equivalent to Sonic and The Fallen Star and honestly I’m glad to see fan games like this.
Fangame with amazing sprites involving stars
Indeed the feel this game gives is a Sonic one. If a Sonic game were made like this currently it would surely be a hit.
Same, looks fun
dang i like sonic and the fallen star but tbh
i think mario and the rainbow star game will be better than sonic and the fallen star
This is gonna be awesome!!! :O Incredible trailer too :]

You did a great job. Really great. The world map, the level design, the art style is just ✨PERFECT✨

Which version of Proton did you use to get it running?

WE ARE GETTING NINTENDO OUT WITH THIS ONE 🗣🗣🗣🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Bro this is so fire, we will be downloading, and we will be re-visting.
This is where I imagined super Mario 2d/3d was headed 20 years ago. This looks amazing and has so much of the charm I love from the series. Amazing!!!
Played through the first level right now and everything is just beautiful. The graphics are so pleasant and the gameplay mechanics are very engaging

I also notice that the design makes it look like a Sonic Genesis game.
From one Starfy fan to another this game slaps!
Even it is just a demo, I feel like this is going to be the best SMBX2 project ever! Definitely going to play it!
As long as Luigi is a playable character, I’m sold. Definitely keeping tabs on this, keep up the good work!
Played the 2nd Demo and I loved every bit
