And even in those games I don't like him.

Honestly, I think I only put about five seconds of playtesting into Toad as I will never understand why he's ever been offered up as a playable character in any Mario game outside of the Mario Kart series or any of the Mario Party/sports-themed games. Here, as expected, the extra characters retain most of their SMB2 instruction, although I think Toad plays a tad different. Of course, I've never been a big fan of playing as any other character outside of Mario, especially given that their most popularized physics are based around SMB2 - which I should mention, I rarely if ever swapped characters in that game too. I at least tried out every character in a test run to witness the subtle and not-so-subtle differences between each of them. Speaking of character swaps, despite my lack or will to swap characters, I have to say that I was fairly impressed with the system. This was also an ancillary factor in why I kept with one character the entire game - Mario. Here, I constantly misjudged jumps by mere inches, and no matter how much play time I put in, I just couldn't get a grasp on it. I knew what my limits were and I knew what I was capable of performing, even under pressure. 3, while the physics could be berated as jerky, I never felt uncomfortable with them - in fact, I rather liked them. If only Mario wasn't so damn fat and purposed to be a svelte gymnastics enthusiast I might have some hope. I was still cringing as Mario leapt into the wild blue yonder, wondering if I had built enough momentum and/or whether or not I'd be able to nail the landing. I never felt confident with a lot, or really, any of my jumps, even by game's end. They're supposed to resemble SMB3 physics, or so I've read and so it seems, but they're really rough around the edges which I cannot emphasize enough. They're just awful - rough grit sandpaper awful. This game surprised me pleasantly at that! Yes, it has it's problems, namely the physics. Besides, I'm here to talk about the game itself and not the engine's editor, so I'll leave all of that squabble to someone else's unsolicited scrutineering. interesting.but nothing to raise an eyebrow over. Of course, the designer in me wanted to check out the editor first. Lucky for me, I managed to sleuth out a copy and gave the game a spin. Dammit!!īut for me, the rash web of lies and intrigue strewn across a vast network of forums, blogs and other bastions of strongly opinionated remarks via posts of unconfirmed rumors, twisted and wrongly regurgitated statements supposedly sourced straight from the developer himself, and more often than not, outright flaming hatred - well, it made me all the more curious in what exactly this engine/game contained. Unfortunately, my decision couldn't have come at a worse time coinciding with all the mystery and confusion shrouding SMBX's sudden exile from the internet.

So I finally decided to download the engine and see what all the hubbub was about. But then, after some time had passed, I had to ask myself, who cares? A game's a game.s'a game. After all, it fell into that cesspool that is known simply as "fan games." Bleaghh!! Additionally, coming from a romhacking background, I suffered from this pang of guilt that I should stick with my guns in the so-called haxors-vs-fanboys arena of war. I had first learned about the SMBX engine some time ago - well before redigit removed all traces from the net - but at the time, I never gave it much thought.
