SMWar (Super Mario War) is a fun fan-game that make the match 4 characters on a single map like smash bros but it's not quite like. There are multiple match types in the game, the classic one is taking each other lives. It be come with the level editor so you can make the map whatever you like for the SMWar. The map size is 20x15 tiles. (There is a version of the 32x24 tiles size, it called Super Mario War Stomp Area, it's Java based, but unfortunately it's so buggy, gets crash everytime.) The preview file is 640x480 a png file. If you want create a preview picture, push the insert on the level editor and check maps\screenshots directory, your map previews must be here.

like this;


The game works on Android, Linux, macOS and Windows but there's no the level editor on Android.
the 1.8b2 version of smwar level editor runs on even Windows 98. Thats a small thing.

file type: .map
max file size: 32kb

Allowed Versions: 1.8 Beta 2 to 2.0 2024-04-03 (do not use 2024-04-04 and above, it's full of buggy, i tried to suggettion about this bu no luck)

The Limitations: Use only the stock tilesets, which is Classic, Expanded, SMB1, SMB2, SMB3, SuperMarioWorld and YoshisIsland. There is a new stock tilesets on 2.0 2024-XX-XX but i think this shouldn't allowed, because only the ones I listed are included in 1.8 beta 2. You can change the tileset pages on the level editor with pgdown and pgup buttons. Maybe tilesets can be added to bit pack on the battles, I'm not sure about that. The tilesets files must be on gfx\packs\Classic\tilesets

SMWar lyceum

holy fucking shit somebody else who still cares about this game? let's fucking go

also in case it gets dmca'd we can support a version of this game with replaced assets. there's already an attempt of doing something like that iirc

pixel based smash bros?
fuck ye

the botb map editor revolution is real

oh wow, someone know that game :o
this is my first favorite fan game since 2005
daym im so old

Actually I wanted to post another request for another game, but I don't know much detail about the zone builder of this my second favorite fan game.

maybe @SRB2er know this :)

not knowing much about this game - (maybe I should just download it and see for myself) -

is it fundamentally a multiplayer game?

I could see that making it kind of hard to vote for emtries unless you've got a pack of people to play it with, you know?

on the OTHER hand, a big group game, especially paired with a votes / syncplay / results stream - could be kind of a blast to participate in.



EDIT - ok played it for about five minutes and it's a fucking BLAST - it actually reminds me more of joust than smash bros, which is brilliant. Even just playing with bots is crazy chaotic and fun. Why wasn't I informed about this sooner??

wow 10 years ago we did a off-botb ohb with super mario war
