Why doesn't anyone ever talk about Super Mario Bros X? It is easily one of the best fan games ever made and the default episode "The Invasion" is like a combination of all the SNES adaptations of the original Mario Bros trilogy plus World. This game needs more love!

Not to mention it has a bad ass story where Bowser actually INVADES the Mushroom Kingdom, rather than just abducting the princess.

So I guess all those Koopa troopas and Goombas in the other games are just going for a stroll then.
Couple things
1 IT'S NOT RETRO
2 Original devs abandoned the project and there are a few bugs left to squish
3 Amateur game designers are more interested in making Mario World romhacks, building levels for Mario Maker or coding their own engines
HEY THERE EVERYONE THIS IS RAOCOW PLAYING SMBX AND THAT WAS A DEMO

They play it off as an actual invasion, though. Toads are running around and fearing for their lives and you can actually play as Toadstool. This is ages before 3D World.
I hate how there are multiple characters but most of the engine features don't work with none of them besides mario or luigi. For instance as link/toad/peach you can't slide down slopes, fly, climb up vines or ladders, swim, hold keys or shells, yadda yadda it's a broken mess.

Did you know Toadstool was playable on a Japan only romhack called Donkey Dicks Pirates but it was deemed too sexist for overseas and stayed only in Japan?

Peach and Toad can hold shells and swim. It is only Links gameplay that lacks those features but he more than makes up for it by having a unique style. I only wish all characters could use Yoshi.
I remember when this just came out and people were declaring the DEATH of 2D Super Mario games. Lulz. Also the devs from this went on to create Terraria.

Yeah but most levels are made with Mario gameplay in mind. For instance as Toad when you collect a feather you get a double jump instead of flight.

epic meme XD
I was just kidding about the Raocow post and I hate shilling a youtube celeb but I'll do it anyway, you should check out his channel for some let's plays on games made on this engine
