I tried playing 'MAR1D' that moves 'Super Mario Bros.' from Mario's first-person perspective

Attempts to think about what kind of world it is when looking at the side-scrolling action game masterpiece 'Super Mario Bros.' from the first-person Mario perspective have been made many times since the past. ' MAR1D ' means that you can play the game from Mario's point of view, so I actually played it.

By clicking the icon of each OS motif on the download page of the official website, you can download files for macOS, Windows, and Linux respectively.

MAR1D - Download

The contents of 'MAR1D.zip' for Windows look like this. Run 'MAR1D.exe' to start the game.

Menu screen after startup. 'MAR1D' is an exquisite logo that can only be seen as 'MARIO'. Select 'START GAME' to start the game.

If it is an ordinary 'Super Mario Bros.', the sideways Mario will move right to the right, but 'MAR1D' will move the camera closer to Mario.

And the screen gets narrower ......

Start playing when it becomes vertical. I honestly don't know what it is.

As you move forward, you'll see something flashing on a long, narrow screen with information, and a brown mass approaching from the front. As anyone who knows 'Super Mario Bros.' knows, the top one is a block and the brown mass is a goomba.

Seeing is only at first glance, play movie is like this. '1-1' is so famous that there are people who can clear it even blindfolded, but it was difficult even to defeat Kuribo because it was a completely different point of view than usual.

The content of the game itself is Super Mario Bros.'s '1-1' itself, so hidden 1UP mushrooms and fire flowers will also appear. When you become Fire Mario, your vision turns red, and you can fire fireballs with a mouse click.

The default settings for the operation keys are W for forward, S for backward, D for direction change, space for jump, so-called 'B dash' for left Shift, crouching for left Ctrl.

You can move the viewpoint with the mouse.

'Line width' can also be changed.

'Width' is what Mario sees in the game. In addition, no matter how much the width is widened, the shapes of Kuriboh and Super Mushroom will not appear, and the width of the visible color will only widen, so there is not much change in difficulty.
