Standard Super Mario Bros Mod Request

[ebnutikus]

I know this may seem like sort of a backwards step to modding the game, but what if someone took out the portal guns so that you could play the original nes super mario bros but with 4 players. I know you can basically play the game now without using the portal guns now, but the problem is that you are always facing in the direction of the mouse even when you move left or right. So basically this mod would just make the direction your facing correspond with what direction you are moving (pressing on the keyboard) so that you can easily turn around and fire fireballs using only the keyboard (or gamepad) and not the mouse. I'm not sure if anyone else is into this idea, I just think it would be a great addition to the game in that you could play portal mode or just standard mario bros.

When you use a gamepad, you can map the "AimX" to your controller's X axis, so when you move left and right, Mario will turn. Then you'll have a classic mode-like feel as long as you don't use the portals.

However, if you want to go above that, Lawnboy did make a full "Classic mode" mod too.

This mod actually removes the Portal gun graphics from Mario and stops you from going left like the original game. The only thing is that Mario will still be holding the Portal gun on the title screen and in the options, but in game he won't have it.

Enjoy.

Thanks. I knew I wasn't the only one thinking about this!

What's the point of modding Mari0 to be just like Mario?

If you don't want to use the Portal Gun then don't use it. SIMPLE!

Whats the point of bumping this thread? The question was already answered.

I think a better mod would be that Mario faces the way he walks until you move the portal gun, in which case he turns around to correspond to that.

how would that work
that would either not work, or require sprites for mario holding the portal gun backwards.
if your portal gun faces right and you face left, either the mouse would have to automatically move to the left, or mario would aim behind him

I though it was more like Mario walk like in SMB, except when you move the cursor.
And if you are moving the cursor left-ward mario while he walk right, he will face your cursor.

thats how it currently is

No, try it: Try to put your mouse to the right of the screen, then walk left without touching the mouse: Mario will walk backward.

[TheJonyMyster]

yes, thats what you said right here:

And if you are moving the cursor left-ward mario while he walk right, he will face your cursor.

which is whats already in the game
