SANiK has just released an awesome, new, creative take on the old 2D Mario NES/SNES games, but in 3D style. To better understand what we mean, take a look at the picture below:



The controls are simple, use the control pad to move and X to jump. If ya wanna quit, simply hit the start button.

This is what SANiK has to say about the release:

"Purpose:
This demo is never going to become a full game.
It lags at certain points but could be sped up 90%, I didn't give a kwap though to put more time into it.
I only did this to be able to say, "Stop with the effiing cheap ass 2D games."
I'm mother effiing tired of seeing "OMG, 2D Halo" orrr "2D Mario" orr "2D Mario texture edit to make it look like 2D Sonic"
The PSP scene needs new life
My little Mario Demo is just a taste of what could be done if one actually tries (with just 6 days to code it + 1 day to port it to the PSP)

Come on PSP scene, get with the program
Anyways, enjoy"

Great work SANik, it's nice to see that some developers are trying their best to boost the entire scene's morale!
