Mario Chase Networked Clone
A downloadable game for Windows
This is a networked clone of NintendoLand's Mario Chase mini-game on the WiiU. The original game is part of a mini-game collection in NintendoLand to show off the WiiU gamepad with a lot of multiplayer games, but it was only local multiplayer. This version allows online networking for people to play together and currently only includes the first map. I've done my best to keep the game as close to the original as possible.
NOTE: This prototype is meant to be played with friends. Game map is balanced for 4-5 people as I did not import the 2-3 player map version, but you are free to play with less people if you want (or even solo if you just want to run around the map).
GAMEPLAY (4-5 Players)
The game involves one person as Mario and the rest as Toads. The Mario must run away and survive for 2:30 minutes while the Toads must catch him. Mario has a top-down view of the map and knows all locations of every player. The Toads have a 3rd person view and can only tell how far away they are from Mario. After 60 seconds have passed, a power-up star spawns in the middle of the map that gives Mario invincibility for 20 seconds if obtained. If it's not picked up when 60 seconds remains, the star disappears.
CONNECTING
Enter any username you want to identify yourself to friends and host a room, which will created a 4 letter room code, or enter a room code to join a game. Currently, only US East and US West are used as the hub for connecting people.
CONTROLS
- Keyboard (no mouse look)
- WASD or Arrow Keys for movement
- Space to tackle as a Toad
- Gamepad support (tested with Xbox 360 Controller)
- Left joystick for movement
- A to tackle as Toad
ART/ASSETS
- 3D model of the map, Mario, and Toad are obtained from the WiiU game directly and converted and retextured for PC.

FUTURE WORK
This was a small prototype to have a networked version of the game working. More maps can be added if there's enough interest and more hub regions for network connection.

I joined here to ask it it's possible to do two players on one device as my children would love this (as would many other people's I'm sure) . I'd love to buy a full version if you added other maps etc. This is the ultimate family game as trying to play emulated Nintendo versions is a massive nightmare. Wouldn't even need to be the same characters if it infringed on copyright but people would definitely pay good money for this game. Thanks.
Game is awesome, Linux support one day would be awesome, as would other games from NintendoLand!
This is absolutely amazing! If you would consider adding support for the other 2 maps and playing with strangers, that would be really awesome!
can I buy you a coffee
THERE IS DEMAND BTW PLEASE COME BACK

Is this project open source? Would be cool if people could add to this game.
"More maps can be added if there's enough interest" There is, come back, little genius \o/
This is awesome
Me and my friends love this, we've been having a lot of fun playing this, nice work my friend!
i hope this game won't be taken down by nintendo
Is there only one minigame???
You should make one of these for Luigi's Ghost Mansion.
It's something I was considering along with Sweet Day. Those 3 are probably the most played minigames in NintendoLand. I'll have to do some more work to get those working.
Where did you get the character models? And the maps? Or did you make them yourself?
I was going to remake them myself, but I have a copy of NintendoLand and pulled the models and maps directly from it. I still have to clean up the models, retexture, and code everything, but at least it speeds it up.
any news about it?
My Server Is RKDA If you wanna Join
Ok, There's This Stupid F**king App Called Avast and it stops me from playing the game!
Frick i played it and there's only a join room button but there are some problems with that...
First there's no way to actually make a room
Second no one has this game
Can you add an offline mode with bots with varying difficulty pls bro -Also an option to make public rooms for people to join pls bro pls
You can make a room, it used a room system where anyone can create/join by entering the same room. I've updated it to be more a traditional host/join system.
This prototype is meant to be played with friends, so you need to get some people together online to play it.
THERE IS NO MAKE ROOM BUTTON DOE bruh
Thanks bro so much mwa bruh like this the best game in nintendo land bro this bouttaa be lit bro
