Super Mario Bros. Version 2.3

small bug with luigi - if luigi crawls his normal sprites are faster than the custom overalls color

You can now play as Luigi.

(Green Mario is really fun, this is based.)

Honestly still one of the greatest mods ever and I was just talking about if Luigi was in the mod yesterday. Played both of them and they feel amazing with their own little twists. So full of Nostolgia. I just wish that I could use a bot for Luigi so I can have both of the bros playing. But due to Luigi's acceleration. Fox bot tends to break it. But right now, I'm going to test the bot ignore so that way he doesn't get hurt by NOT jumping on the badniks lol. Still a great mod. 5 Stars all the way.

Luigi included, 93830583059580348589058534098503485/10 (Okay but seriously though, This mod is VERY high quality. Mario even has voice lines and It has SRB2 PERSONA support and Luigi is included. This may be the most high quality mario mod IN GENERAL. Nothing can top this. 5/5

i really want the gold flower to have its sound effect for transforming (you can find one in super mario maker - sounds resource

It's Mario, sporting a very similar moveset from all the main 3d Mario games. He plays very well and adds a whole new way of play to SRB2, and the newest update allows the toggling of powerups making him much more fair in multiplayer gamemodes such as ringslinger.
The only problem is the custom buttons and work you have to do to get the best control scheme set up for this character, while you could play with the two main buttons many of the more advanced and powerful acrobatics require the use of custom 1 and 2. I personally have to remap my right shoulder button to crouch/ground pound for the character to work best for me.
Besides that one issue, you got yourself a perfect character right here.

Italy-ano Pizza

This mod is great, adding mario into the game and making him feel like he actually fits in it with his moves. He can even be customized a little bit and has his own options for you to choose from. The only thing I would possibly want from this is for dive to be able to be set to a specific button. It would be great for not needing to disable dives for bosses like metal sonic where it would get in the way and would make hammer a bit more of an option for mario to use when he is fighting because that is what hammer is used for, fighting. Other than that, this is an ideal mod to have on just because of how good it is while not being too op.

Absolutely perfect it feels like Mario and it plays like Mario its
perfect its one of the best mods in srb2!.

This is the best mod ever I literally made a reddit post about it
https://www.reddit.com/r/SRB2/comments/svt0xw/mario_is_the_best_srb2_mod_change_my_mind/
but please make a luigi to go with him pls

Alright, I felt I should make another review about this mod since i felt i didn't exactly get my true feelings through last time. First off, I'll talk about the general "lack of flow", per se? Like, in Odyssey, after doing a dive you could cancel it into a roll and go from there. But here, there's not only no roll boost (which I can understand, it was meant to be used only like the normal roll in srb2, and that's fine), but you can't do that same dive cancel, either. Same thing goes for long jumps, in Odyssey you could go smoothly from a long jump to a roll by simply holding crouch (or i assume, at least) but here, you have to manually start rolling even if you DO hold crouch. And I appreciate that jumping on a normal enemy actually has Mario physically jump off of that enemy, but it just seems odd that the same thing doesn't happen with bosses or enemies that take multiple hits. Last but not least, i feel i should talk about the powerups, more specifically the Gold Flower and Ice flower, since you'll genuinely NEVER see them in the main campaign due to the level design having Mini Mushrooms and Metal caps instead. This isn't much of a problem most of the time, but there tends to be rings around sections where Mini Mushrooms are, due to them being Attraction Shield replacements. With that being said, this is still a pretty good mod.

Yes, Amazing. I just love flying with the cape trough the level.

FINALLY, I can play Pipe Towers the way god intended...

This is real good mod, like awesome mod. Because there are custom power-ups, everything changed, his moveset is accurate.

A very good mod, one of my favorite characters to play as in SRB2.

He feels very much like Sandbox/Odyssey Mario with some touches from the 2D games. Odyssey Mario is honestly one of my favorite game characters to control, and SRB2 Mario definitely comes close. The power-ups are also very fun to use, but I do think some could benefit from a tutorial (like the Cape Feather).

My one big complaint about this mod that keeps it from being five stars is the dive. I really don't like it being mapped to the same button as attacking, it just makes things tedious, like when I try to hit a boss with my hammer but I accidentally end up diving. I think the dive should be mapped to a different custom.

Other than that, this is a very good mod, and definitely one of my all-time favorites when it comes to SRB2.

When I was 3 years old I was hateing mario then I give them a try then I like mario and link and Kirby

he feels great to play and the sprites looks fantastic; he fits right in. probably the most cohesive character mod i've played to date

EDIT: i just experienced his super form, and i am absolutely blown away by the level of detail in his moveset.

Literally the best character on the message board in my opinion due to a multitude of reasons.

Movement - You have so many different movement options that are extremely fun to use with each-other. Making good use of the several moves at your disposal is very rewarding. Triple jumping into a wall jump into a dive, there's such a high skill ceiling with this character and so many awesome things you can do with him, it's amazing.

Visuals - The sprite-work here is BEAUTIFUL. Amazing work, I love it. And it fits perfectly in with SRB2 as well. The rainbow-effect on Mario when he gets a star as a homage to Galaxy 2 also looks amazing.

The attention to detail here is astonishing, the fact that Ground Pounding deals twice the damage as a normal move is awesome, being very useful for taking out bosses quicker.

Powerups - The powerups are awesome, with the Cape Feather being the best one in my opinion because flying with him feels REALLY GOOD, and allows you to get to so many places so fast, especially being able to cancel your dive with the cape-spin so that you can float normally and wall jump, just the movement options are extended so much. Not to undermine the usefulness of other powerups, its just the cape offers so much that its hard to not say anything about it. All of the powerups are really solid in my opinion.
I also like how the powerups replacing the item-boxes makes sense, for example it makes perfect sense for the Cape Feather to replace the Whirlwind Shield.

I also like how faithful it is from the original series, for example the Giant Mushroom awarding 1ups for destroying a certain amount of enemies is really fun.
The Super Mario Galaxy health bar,
and of course the coins replacing rings just like in the actual games.

If you get a Star Powerup AND a Giant Mushroom you can get like 20 lives extremely quick, a bit broken but I LOVE it!

Him being able to grab ledges is really useful, how his move-set offers great height and great speed when used properly is really nice, everything here is solid as a Block.

I haven't even mentioned the amount of extra stuff here added that isn't necessary but is greatly appreciated. His SRB2Persona support is AWESOME. I didn't even know you could do action commands in SRB2Persona but you put them in and I love you for it. I love the Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario series and you did them, i don't even know if justice is the right word, it's so good and cool.

The main seller with this character for me is you can do things with this character that no other character can do, he's easy to play and harder to master, when you do a trick to get up to a high place you earned that. Speed-running with this character is amazing.
The fact that you can do so many things with this character makes him my favorite, and I genuinely believe he's the best character.

The amount of effort, work, and love put into this character is extremely high. Thank you so much for allowing us to "a-play-a your game", y'know since playing as this character actually makes me feel like I'm playing a different game, he operates so differently from the vanilla characters, he's so unique and special in the best ways.

I feel like even after a long time, and a ton of more great character mods show up on this message board, this will still be the king. <3

It's a really fun mod and is worth downloading but i have one issue that i don't know how to fix and it's that whenever i run the mod on my server it crashes to desktop after a random amount of levels and i wish this wouldn't happen so if you could find what could cause it that would be awsome

found a bug with mario: on red volcano zone (on the last part before the goal) if you jump on the lava flow thing mario takes damage but doesnt spring up like normal and goes back to walking on the lava for some reason (taking damage after this doesnt launch him up either)
