Super Mario Bros It is one of the great classics in the history of video games. Originally released for the NES in 1985, it is one of the titles that have most influenced the future of the industry and it was the first stone of the building of a franchise that continues to this day. There you have the latest installments for Nintendo Switch, with a super mario odyssey which is a real delight or that little add on the Super Mario 3D World nicknamed as Bowser’s Fury.
A very talented fan
The fact is that a lover of that Super Mario Bros from 1985 has had no better idea than to take the concept of the original cartridge and clone it, giving all the graphics that appearance of being made of paper, as if cut out. The result is a version papercraft that you can see just above and that supposes the arrival of the franchise to a curious crossover with another leg also very loved by Nintendo fans: Paper Mario.
Although the development of those games is significantly different, we can’t help but remember those titles when we see what they have done with super mario bros: flat graphics that reflect their shadows in various directions on a wrinkled paper background, attached platforms with a curious 2.5D effect and a Mario that jumps thanks to the stick that holds it to the bottom. An extraordinarily effective wink effect that one gets used to as the minutes of the game go by.
We’ll see what Nintendo says
The work of this user is currently limited to a kind of sample of what he would be able to do if he could finish it all. You have a demo available that you can download to your computer to test it and play freely, at least until the first confrontation with Bowser. This means that you have all the first world recreated inside the file that you can download to your computer and that offers a performance as good as the one that appears in the video. So if you want to relive old NES games in a slightly different way, don’t miss out on this opportunity.
And if we invite you to do it right now it is because you never know how nintendo will react. The Japanese are very jealous of their old games, even if they are close to 40 years old, and they are one of the few developers who maintain a business around their first works. Not in vain, until the arrival of Nintendo Online on Switch, their virtual consoles had an infinite number of games from the old NES in their catalog at really high prices, 3, 4, 5 or 6 euros.
In addition, Nintendo is characterized by a relentless policy of not give too much respite to those who do recovery work and pay homage to their gamesso we will be attentive to see how is your reaction to this Super Mario Bros Papercraft that recovers the old classic and adapts it to the graphic capabilities of the new times. Let’s see, Unreal Engine 5 is not necessary either, but the cut-out aspect of this work is, to say the least, a delight. Don’t you think?
