Thingio Side A: Let's Go! Thingio!
preview
By: Tech Wing
Let's Go Thingio is a gem that's been in development for well over a year now, and while you may not see it, it becomes evident as the game progresses. It has become our brainchild, and a staple name on the forums, almost appreciated solely due to it's sporadicness, and "pseudo quality". The game was originally developed in two parts, and as such the two games are seperate files. Together they would be over a whopping 20 MB, so we're releasing the first half of the game as one file, and the second half (that's not yet finished) somewhere down the road.

BEWARE: If you're looking for a game exuding quality, this is not the game for you. It's random, random and more random. Thankfully for our picky fans (if we have any) there's an option allowing to toggle on and off annoying noises (if you're sensitive to loud noises and horrible voice acting we suggest you turn the noises 'off', although the game slightly loses it's charm as such), found in the OPTIONS menu.

Please send messages of any glitches to the Someguy & Kaepora account. Some have been left in to allow the later part of the game to stand out in quality, however, if any hamper gameplay too much, they shall be fixed.
Completion: Full Game Genre: Comedy
Franchise: Mario

Genogenesis7 Well, it's a great game. No doubt. The dudes who made Raving Rabbids said that you couldn't make a good adventure game out of a bunch of different gameplay styles, WELL THEY WERE WRONG! 9 / 10
Shybomb Thingio is a game which uses it's weaknesses as strengths. And it works. This unique ability is what separates it from the the other mediocre games, and makes it not-so-mediocre. 5 / 10
Giga Gamer I say once more, this game is random, which makes it one of the best games on MFGG. Final score is a... 9 / 10
SMBMadman FABULOUS! YAHOO! WHAT AN EXCELLENT GAME! I CAN'T BELIVE MFGG HAS A FUN GAME LIKE THIS! I hope you can make more of those fun MFGG combinations. 10 / 10
MarioMastar Yes, this is a fascinating game. I loved most parts of it and I really wish I could make games of around this quality. Way to go! 10 / 10
adan It's simplicity, enjoyability, nice graphics and sound is what makes Thingo an MFGG classic. Regardless of what anyone else says. Nice Job! 10 / 10
Lemmy Koppa A novelty game with little plot and an insane amount of screaming that's sure to induce laughter. Download if you're bored and want something to do. 7 / 10
Ultramario This game tries to be funny, but fails horribly. 3 / 10
Gr8Goomba88 Let's Go Thingio (part 1) is a very unique and pretty good game. However, it's not your average Mario fangame. Some of you might like it, some may not. But once you try it, it's pretty good. 8 / 10
Zero_Hero789 In a world where entire paragraphs worth of dialouge is compacted into "A DOOTLE DATADOE", in a world where there are totally original ideas, in a world with a really weird soundtrack, the unthinkable has happened. Mario got lines! 10 / 10
Bobomb99 This game is so funny, it inspires me to make something like it. It's also fun to play. Download it now. 9 / 10
Parakarry Thingio Side A could have really been a lot more. Random is fun, yes, but not when the gameplay is comprimised. 4 / 10
Mario Gamer Congratulations. The randomness might've been funny on Melatonin but on this game it's just boring and annoying. If this game wasn't made by Someguy & Kaepora I don’t think it would’ve been as highly rated. I put down this game before finishing it. It was a mess and wasn't any fun at all to play. Sorry guys, I just didn't like it. 3 / 10
Pressstart Thingio has tons to offer, ranging from funny to epic and sometimes just plain weird. Don't let the minor setbacks stop you from enjoying in full this conglomeration of video game history. 9 / 10
Techokami The legendary Thingio! has finally been released... well, at least half of it. If you don't mind a bunch of random humor instead of a serious "OMG BOWSER TAKE PRINCESS" fangame, then this is a must-download. 8 / 10
Kamin Ukiki Altogether, it can be a fun game. Sure it'll hardly make sense at a few times, but then again, what DOES make sense? %D 8 / 10
ShadowMan A series of unpolished and generally bad minigames that tries to pass itself off as a cohesive gaming experience. I appreciate the humor, but as a game rather than a parody, it's awful. 2 / 10
MegaTailzChao If you're looking for a game with calmness, peace, and a large amount of boringness, keep looking. 10 / 10
bigmariofan1.0 Download it if you beleive randomness can be fun, if you think that a random game wouldn't be fun, then read my review and see if you change your mind. 9 / 10
Black Squirrel Let me be straight; some of you will love it while some of you will hate it. Overall this is the most random game on MFGG, and certainly one of the best. 8 / 10
Average Score 7.6 / 10

Side B was in production, but I noticed the entire game just didn't turn out like how it was supposed to be, so what WAS in production was put behind, possibly to be shown after whatever plot details that were in it pop up in Thingio 2 or we restart Side B. Either way, expect the next thing from us to be better, we're listening to everything people have said!

This game get boring quickly, the sounds are very annoying and randomness isn't working. This game is so bad that I don't even feel like reviewing it. Make the games to swap more frequently and this can be even decent.

The game has a startling thing in the beginning but because I don't want to be mean to people like you I won't put any Banzai Bills, especially not that ugly SMW one that you hate.

If anyone else is reading this, Thingio Side B is being rebuilt, all the things that people disliked I'm thinking about, the quality will be better, there won't be startling waaauh whooelblehs, and so on.

Well then you might as well not release it at all, because you'd be sucking the essence and awesome of Thingio right out of it.
