Super Mario War is a Super Mario multiplayer game.
The goal is to stomp as many other Marios as possible to win the game.
It's a tribute to Nintendo and the game Mario War by Samuele Poletto.
On surface level, this appears to be a clone of Bunnies from DOS and Linux. Multiplayer, stomp on each other's heads to get points. But I just downloaded this, and holy crap! More game play modes and item spawns than you can shake a stick at! Here's hoping for netplay :)
This is flat out awesome. A great party game, and the bots can even give a single player a bit of a challenge. It's got all the classic elements of Mario, but with a TON added, while managing to keep it still looking and feeling like a true Mario game.
It's the sort of thing I'd expect to be on one of Nintendo's newer consoles, though with more content (it's already got a HUGE amount, but for it to be sold/distributed, I'd still expect a bit more).
And as to the people saying that they can't compile and install it... there's a binary distribution. Use that instead.
You can go directly to a tag by searching for 'tag:yourtag'. You can also
search within the apps tagged with that word by adding another word. For
example 'tag:browser plugin'.

lame, I need Admin to install this?
So I tried compiling the source code but the build failed because it can't find png.h
SDL_image is already installed.
oh well, maybe I'll check it out when SMW grows up to be a .app someday.

Eep, let's hope Nintendo doesn't bring this down the way Blizzard brought down FreeCraft...
Fixed the direct download link now.
Just go to their homepage to download instead of clicking the direct download link here.
Am I the only one who cannot get the game? Page always says forbidden. I had to Google it and use another mirror.
Wow this is pretty good!
