Better shut down this forum before we get sued for using the color white as the background.
Apple might sue for that.

well, it's really MARI0, so no. I'm gonna start calling the game "Mari Zero".
Also, Mario is a name that existed long before Nintendo, they don't have rights over it.

You can't copyright or trademark the word "Mario" when it's someone's name.

It's not just about the name, it's about the usage and intended usage. A game called Mario with similar gameplay would obviously infringe on Nintendo's copyrights (though likely any game called Mario would be found to), while Mario as a name for a florist or a café or something wouldn't have anything to do with Nintendo.

Does whether or not you're going to make any money from it also make a difference?

that comes down to wether or not you're going to make money off of them -> you are going to make them "lose" money

Yes. There are laws regarding parodies (as far as I know those exist in the US, not sure about Germany) and Mari0 would likely be under its protection. But since we're not in the US, in our case we just decided to at least make it morally right.

Though obviously law isn't that simple, especially if you want to consider the legality in different locations. Far from just black and white.

Indeed, a lot of projects have been shut down even though no one was paying for them.
Wait why are we talking about this it was just a stupid joke.

I've heard that the coin sound is a copyright material.

mine's better : it's got portals. Plus my mario is truly minimal (1 pixel :D)
no but seriously woah this is really well done, apart from a few tiny bugs, but that's just because I spent the last month or so playing mari0 trying to find bugs everywhere ;)
