Super Mario Bros: Odyssey (Ch1)
preview
By: smbmaster99
Super Mario Bros Odyssey Ch.1 is a retelling of the very first Super Mario Bros game, with cutscenes, new sprites, original levels, unlockable skin-sets and levels, and a few characters and items from future Mario games. "Odyssey" is going to be a series of fangames base on other entries in the Super Mario Bros franchise, with some original ideas. I began the project around 2 1/2-3 years ago with the intention of it being an "all-in-one" game similar to Super Mario All-Stars. After a good while though I realized just how ambitious the idea was and that is how I got onto the route I'm on now.

This update has a few bug fixes. The bug that caused the game to crash for Windows 8 users shouldn't happen now. Also, pressing enter to save should work too instead of un-pausing :P

F1 displays the controls and be sure to extract EVERYTHING into the same folder, or else you may get errors ranging from visuals not displaying to the game just flat out not working. Hope you all enjoy the game!

This is the first chapter, in which Mario and Luigi begin their on-going adventures to save the Mushroom Kingdom from King Bowser.

Be SURE to extract ALL the files into the SAME folder, or else some audio/graphical bugs may occur.

Hope you all enjoy the game!

Guest127968 This game is amazing. It has it flaws, but no fangame is perfect. It is a new way to experience a so classic Mario story that has been told for 37 years now. Many people have played this game in their childhood, and this is one of the best ways to play it again, you scored again, smbmaster99. 10 / 10
Yoshi542 In short, Super Mario Bros. Odyssey is an AMAZING game and feels like something Nintendo would actually release on a console. If you get the chance, download it! 10 / 10
TheTwelfthRocket Super Mario Bros. Odyssey wants to be a SMB1 retelling; but the flaws just kill the score. Sorry, I think I'm just a picky person.

No offense, but that's just how I feel about this game.
6 / 10
Q-Nova Super Mario Bros is one of the best classics ever, and this game is just as good as the original! 10 / 10
fireluigi Basically, worth your time and download. Give it a try, you'll love it right from that first startup. 9 / 10
Syr This game is very good but it is indeed overrated. With brutally long levels and sometimes unfair level design. And bad Luigi physics making him pretty much unplayable on harder stages. Nevertheless I still Recommend it but it's not the greatest -- pssh, can't wait for Chapter 2! 8 / 10
Nuggeting Super Mario Bros: Oddysey is a great game. I only had to play World 1-1 to know what I was in for. This is one of the best games on this site, and you definitely need to play it. Although the physics are a bit whack, you'll still probably have a good time with it. 9 / 10
RaymanFan1995 All in all, this first episode of "Super Mario Bros. Odyssey" is by far the best Mario fan project I've ever played. A lot of care and passion went into making this, and it's proven within the first World. I look forward to seeing the rest of the episodes as they are being made. 10 / 10
Yoshi11 Simply amazing because of its beautiful music, big replay value and more. It's like an actual Nintendo game and definitely worth the download! 10 / 10
ShyGuysToyBox A beautiful retelling of the classic Mario story. 9 / 10
Jetace97 Overall a beatiful game to play through, despite some details that are off the Mario games. 9 / 10
Average Score 9.1 / 10

I redownloaded this game but now every sound is 8-bit! You really should fix that because I'm planning to write a review.
EDIT: I also can't hear jump and shoot sound. WTF?!

I've addressed this glitch at least twice in the game's topic.

Quote (smbmaster99)
Those sounds, for whatever reason, sometimes just don't play, and it's seemingly because of the unlockable retro mode. I've actually made mention of this bug a couple pages back, though at the time it was only the fireball sound that gave me ill. The bump sound sometimes doesn't play either.

*quote* The 8bit shooting sound does that sometimes for some stupid reason. Sometimes it works, others it doesn't. I was never able to figure out the cause because apparently it just happens occasionally and without warning <_<

I'm tempted just to reupload the original version of this game (it sometimes crashes on windows 8, but it was more stable and didn't feature the 8bit sounds playing on their own). I apologize however, as the sounds that aren't playing is a glitch I can not fix.

the game stops working after world 1-1 because it's trying to draw obj_curtain or something like that, but apparently it doesn't exist

obj_curtain is the object that drtaws the bowser face or star that zooms in on the player after they die or beat a level. It utilizes surfaces and some computers just can't handle them for some reason so the game crashes. I'm sorry you're having this problem :c

is there a possibility to have a version without it? also, that function seems to work fine in the demo, so it's odd.

Is this Hello Engine?

Because if it is, I must say this is a HUGE step up from what some fangame authors use the engine for.

I mean that as a good thing, this game is great.

Thanks :P and yes, the base engine was Hello's. It was modified for Super Mario Fusion Revival, and this game was built on the pre-public release version (like 0.1 or less, I don't remember exactly) of that.

Thank you for responding! I suppose I'll try using joytokey. This game is extremely well presented, and I look forward to perhaps posting some sort of review in the future? Well, I'm not too great at judging, but I will certainly appreciate the effort put into this game!

What would happen if I modernized the sprites before extracting all the files? would the game break, or would it not open?

Just as long as you:

+don't rename the files
+don't resize the sprite canvases
+don't move them
+don't move the sprites around their canvases

it should run fine

Thanks. I can't wait for Chapter 2. Also, do you think you could add customizable controls. Sticky Keys keeps coming up when Press Shift and Ctrl.

Unfortunately Ch2 won't happen. I've scrapped the "chapter" system I had in mind and SMBO's on hiatus while I work on another project. SMBO is not canned however. I plan to revive SMBO at some point in the future, but it will include assets and some ideas I had planned for SMBO ch.2.

I may add customizable controls to it when I pick it back up; this game is no longer my current focus. I can offer you a tip on the Sticky keys though. Next time the message comes up, click on the text that says

"Go to the ease of access center to disable the keyboard shortcut"

it should open a window with a few options/check boxes. Uncheck the one that says somehting like "turn on sticky keys when SHIFT is pressed 5 times"

that should fix the issue :P

I was just wondering as I was on World 5-1 "Shouldn't this chapter have already been finished?". I can't seem to get pass World 5-2 though. The bombs keep exploding my powers off. And thanks again. That sticky keys thing is VERY annoying.

Those are old, early in-development videos. I had initially planned to go on hiatus after chapter 1 was completed but decided to go ahead and work on chapter 2. A few months later I then put the entire series on hiatus and now the chapter system has been decidedly scrapped. (as I've said before though, Odyssey is not canceled and when I revive it it'll be under a new name most likely)

I kept the videos up though because people liked them and I was proud with how they came out x3 Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

You can use the Ctrl+Alt+Delete to open up the task manager, or use Alt+F4.
