Super Mario Bros The Visual Novel (a parody)
How did Mario end up in the Mushroom Kingdom and was he really happy to be pulled from his comfortable existence fitting bathrooms and changing taps to be chased by killer fungi, shot at by cannons and forced to dodge traps all to save a princess he didn't know nor care about? Was he fuck!
Read the story, become the hero!

A bit about the game.
Learning to code I often come across platform tutorials. Most of which basically say "Write a Mario game." If you type in "Mario fan game" or something into any online game site or programming site you'll see umpteen clones of Mario games that may as well be ripped straight from the roms themselves.
So how could I make a "Mario platformer" completely differently? I saw a VN on a jam and thought, "That'll do it!" Not only is it different but I also get to play around with Ren'Py, which was fun.
But what about the game itself? Just a story would be dull. So I began thinking about Mario and how he is this little, chubby guy who was minding his own business and then gets sucked into a god awful world where everything is trying to kill him. I reckon he'd be a bit pissed off with the whole thing and do a lot of cursing. Really, who hasn't met a plumber who swears like a trooper?
It isn't long, coming in at about 10 minutes. There are two endings and you can also make choices that may affect you later. Just like in a real VN.
