Was es zu gewinnen gibt, erfahrt ihr im Beitrag. Mit dem Klassiker verschlägt es ihn diesmal mit Project Firestart in den Weltraum, während die Gurke, Laurel & Hardy, ihn schnell wieder auf den Boden zurückholt.

Super Mario War is a Super Mario multiplayer game. The goal is to stomp as many other Marios as possible to win the game. It’s a tribute to Nintendo and the game Mario War by Samuele Poletto.

The game uses artwork and sounds from Nintendo games. The authors hope that this noncommercial fangame qualifies as fair use work. They just wanted to create this game to show how much they adore Nintendo’s characters and games.

Based upon Pickle’s Wiz port, Riviera71 has compiled the source for Caanoo and remapped the buttons.
