Mario + Portal Gun = Awesome Game Idea

A few months back I posted a few videos of Mario with a portal. Well it appears that the idea took deeper root than we thought it did.  The team at stabyourself.net is now creating this:

Yes, a banner! What? You don't like just a banner? OK fine, this is actually a game that combines the original Super Mario Bros. and the portal idea from, you guessed it, Portal.  The game will have the original Super Mario levels, the Lost Levels, and a built-in level editor.  Finally the game will have simultaneous multiplayer.  So let's look forward to this game (which will be FREE) to come out soon.  In the mean time sate your appetite with this video of the gameplay.

Super Mario Bros Wallpaper

Mario Bros. wallpaper image sampleI've been working on some artwork and decided to share a piece with all of you who follow us online.  I actually got the idea from trying to work out some sort of Mario Bros. button.  I was just sketching out some ideas, but kinda like the idea of the mushroom flanked by fire flowers and it sort of just carried on from there.  I know it's not every item available in every game, but I wanted to cover just enough to get idea across.   Most of them are old school too, so I like that fact.  I know I'm a couple of years late for the Super Mario Bros. 25th Anniversary, but that's okay.  I think I'll actually make it for the Zelda one, so keep your eyes peeled for that post! I think everyone will like that too.  Without further ado, follow the links below for a wallpaper of your choice.  Until my next art post, game on!
