Mariovania: a station for ideas

[Kirbyo]

So you know how people make metroidvania style SMM2 levels? Well I have recently gotten into that style of game and though: wouldn't it be a fun community project if I made a metroidvania level while taking tips and subjections from the Mario Boards? It's a win-win! I get to revisit a game I haven't played in a while and get better at making levels, and you get to have your ideas put into a level which you can play afterwards! So here's the checklist:

• What game style?
• What Mario power-ups and where?
• What the four areas should be themed on
• What should the main and sub world themes be?

So let's get the ideas flowing!

If we're going to do a Metroidvania style Mario game, it should be a spiritual successor to Super Mario Bros. 2, a game that is known for its longer levels, more generous checkpoints, and lack of a time limit, and that there's a bit of backtracking and exploration involved that isn't there in the other Mario games.

I don't think there's a Mario 2 style, though if there's ones like it you'd think is good tell me!

Will it have RPG elements like Symphony of the Night?

There's the SMB2 Mushroom, perhaps you could make use of that.
