Super Mario War Brings Deathmatch To The Mushroom Kingdom

Have you ever been playing Super Mario World and thought to yourself, "You know, what this really needs is competitive deathmatch!" No? You're not alone: the vast armada of gamers stands resolute in your corner.

But where there's an inexplicably bizarre idea, there's a programmer looking for a pet project. Enter Super Mario War, a copyright-infringementastic, open source multiplayer Mario game available for Windows, XBox or Linux.

Features:

- Up to four players deathmatch fun
- a whole bunch of game modes (featuring GetTheChicken, Domination, CTF, ...)
- Comes with the leveleditor - you can create your own maps...
- ... and a lot of people did so. There are currently over 400 maps
- More fun than poking a monkey with a stick
- The whole source code of the game is available
- uses SDL and is fully portable to windows, linux, mac, ...
- CPU Players
- will make you happy and gives you a fuzzy feeling

Looks pretty neat, but hello, cease and desist!
