🍄 You're a Goomba! Collect Mario's Lost Relics To Save the Mushroom Kingdom 🍄 ###


When the shadowy cabal that keeps the Mushroom Kingdom in balance forgets to pick up Mario's junk after he passes through, the Mushroom Kingdom starts to fall apart.

Use the S key to suck in your fellow enemies so you can use their powers!

When, in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for a Ludum Dare team to revisit past work, only a fool doesn't heed that call. This is the 10th anniversary sequel to our 2015 Ludum Dare entry!

💥 😑 Due to an internet outage that happened literally 5 minutes before submission hour, we were delayed in getting some web build fixes out. But we think everything's fixed now :fingers_crossed: 💥

Controls:

---

* WASD (or controller stick) to move
* Space to jump
* S to suck in other enemies
* S + Enter to jettison your previous powers_

Gamepad only partially works in web

Hey, what a great story! I loved the aesthetics, the backstory and the music. I sadly didn't manage to finish the game, as my jump action stopped working after I interacted with the Koopa (turtle guy?) and I also did not get it back after I changed back. Nonetheless, I had a lot of fun playing. This is a super polished entry, you can be proud - now and 10 years ago!
