This is a recreation of the original Super Mario Bros, crammed into under 24KB of a Pico-8 cartridge (spritesheet memory is unused). The code is all new and not ported from the original game, so things work differently, but I tried to make it feel similar.

It includes all original levels, the minus world, and the second quest. Due to the token limit and limited likelihood of use, the alternating 2-player mode has been replaced with just playing as Mario or Luigi. Hope you enjoy playing!

It seems to work flawlessly, the couple of levels that I played.

Thanks, I've had some playtesters and put out a few updates. There might be some small bugs yet, but the major issues seem to have been fixed.

Thank you,🙂

It was nearly finished in early '24, but I wasn't sure about releasing for a while. I guess the timing was appropriate.
