This is fun to play with on its own, but will also make you think about how you approach different obstacles in a completely new way to a typical Mario game, or even any 2D platformer really. While platforming through the stages, at any point you are able to switch dimensions at the push of a button that will alter the appearance and layout of that stage. Dimensions is, obviously, the dimensions mechanic. 3, this fan game is a fully complete game that adds a new mechanic in a meaningful way, but also a level of polish a lot of fan games lack. Taking the appearance of Super Mario Bros. Any game can just remix levels, but the best introduce new mechanics, such as with Super Mario Bros.
What sets the best 8-bit fan games apart is how they evolve that formula, though. Not only because that is a somewhat easier style to recreate, but also because it was home to some of the best official games in the series that inspired people to create games in the first place. Many, many fan games like to call back to the old 8-bit Mario days. This fan game is a full on adventure that matches Nintendo’s own output in quality, design, art, and length. If you manage to beat the high score and earn the gold crown on each level, you can gain access to even more secret, more challenging stages. Set in a new kingdom called Unconcia, you will guide Waluigi through more than 30 stages, each with a high score to try and beat. In a way, it’s a bit like Kirby’s powers of inhaling things and spitting them out, but with Mario levels and physics. In this interpretation of the character, Waluigi has psychic powers he can use to grab objects and enemies in the level and launch them as projectiles.
Psycho Waluigi introduces a new power to Waluigi to set him apart from the rest of the cast in the Mushroom Kingdom. It’s a full, complete adventure, too, and considered perhaps the best Mario fan game ever made, despite not starring a typical protagonist. The game has a near-perfect Super Mario World pixel art style, and could easily pass as a game that came out on the Super Nintendo. This game isn’t just a standard Mario-style platformer, only with Waluigi swapped in instead of Mario, but is more comparable to how the Wario games added a new mechanic to the character in addition to running and jumping like normal. One fan even went far enough to create an entire 2D platforming adventure starring Luigi’s counterpart titled Psycho Waluigi. Way before his strange, meme-fueled rise in popularity, hardcore Mario fans saw the potential in the lanky, mysterious side character known as Waluigi.
