Super Mario Bros. Version 2.3

Alright, first off: the Mega Mushroom theme sounds EXACTLY like it'd be a Silvagunner track.
Besides that, the powerups are great (granted, i wish the mini mushroom and gold flower were swapped around), Mario getting the Red Star when he enters a NiGHTS stage is genius, and SRB2Persona support just turning the game into an amalgamation into Mario RPG, M&L, and Paper Mario is genuinely amazing. Hopefully we get a Luigi somewhere later down the line.
Second off, here's some of my gripes:
Personally, I'd prefer if there was option to set dive to a separate button, since I either have to choose between only being able to dive odyssey style or not being able to change direction in the air while using my hammer.
It'd be a lot more convenient if the "hey stinky" emote could be moved to a button rather than being chat-only. Also, hitting anything that's relatively high in the air with a flower-type powerup is a pain. Maybe make it so that you can change the trajectory by moving the camera up or down?
Besides all that, pretty good character. I would recommend.

It's alright. The numerous custom features are probably the best part about this addon, and really serve as a highlight of what Lua can do in SRB2 these days! The sprites are fine, and making so many different animations at so many angles is certainly an impressive feat, but they're not really something that particularly wowed me.

After seeing so many rave reviews about Mario's gameplay complementing SRB2 itself quite well, I guess my expectations became a bit too high. The many abilities that Mario has are definitely fun to use, but for some reason Mario feels way too slippery to me, which really brought down my enjoyment of basic platforming...

What a mod. This is just one of the best mods out there and it's one of my favorites, simply fantastic sprites and so many features. This mod is Good, Great, Awesome, Outstanding, AMAZING!!

This is a pretty fun character to play around with. Mario's vast moveset helps keep the gameplay feeling fresh when traversing through levels, and even without using the large selection of fun powerups, it feels satisfying to tackle difficult challenges with his various moves to get through areas (including places that are character specific, such as tails only areas). I also appreciate that while he's able to swim, Mario can still make full use of his moveset underwater. I will say that while some of the powerups feel pretty strong, the P-Balloon stands out as being especially powerful even in comparison to the rest. I was expecting a time limit to be present as it was in Super Mario World, especially considering you can gain infinite height with it.


As for the SRB2 Persona implementation, implementing mechanics from his other games was a nice touch and certainly gives him a unique feel over playing as other characters. I did struggle with the jump timing at first (I'm unsure if it's a stricter timing here than in the actual games or if I'm just rusty), but it's not bad at all once you get used to it. I really do hope this serves as encouragement to others to play around with custom mechanics a little bit when making characters for SRB2 Persona or adding support for the gamemode to their characters.

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)

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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.

Italy-ano Pizza

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.

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

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

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.

You can now play as Luigi.

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

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

IT'S AMAZING all the hard work You, SMS Alfredo and the other amazing people did on Mario and Luigi! I Am SOOO In love with this mod. Thank you for bringing Mario to life into the game!
