You're immediately in need of food and water as you have no idea of where you're at or how you got there. In Mari0, you play as Diego, a young Spanish backpacker who wakes up in an abandoned house one morning. For this reason, it's recommended that players progress through the game using only the "trial" version, which offers the first few levels and is a good way of getting a feel for the game. However, as the game progresses you'll find yourself wanting to take on bigger challenges such as fighting bosses and taking on bigger maps. Unlike other 2D sidescrollers, Mari0 has more of an adventure theme, focusing on exploration and puzzle solving rather than fighting or completing tasks. It mixes gameplay elements from Super Mario world and Valve's Portal series of games. Two things that go well together.Mari0 is an upcoming side- scrolling platform game developed by German independent developer Maurice Guergens and published on his site Stabyourself. The above might seem like a bit of over-hyping but truth be told, Mari0 is great because it keeps the original alive, and it adds something that makes it more fun and a bit more complicated. How is this and all of the above not everything you need to take your enjoyment of Mario to an entirely new level? Mario and Portal mechanics together, I know it sounds strange, but it’s something you can’t go wrong with. Moreover, the game even comes with a level editor. Imagine that, four moustachy plumbers with Portal guns and eight ways of complicating everything. It’s super fun, and if you can round up three more friends, it offers a multiplayer mode. Mari0 is one of the best Mario based games you can play. Now, instead of shooting at the enemy, you mess with their mind by setting traps.

Just like in Portal, Mario has the gun and using the mouse buttons you can create the two portals. On the flipside, now you don’t get to shoot mini fireballs but you can create portals that allow you and everything else to travel through them. You can stomp on Goombas, mushrooms make you bigger and you still have to save the princess. The core gameplay to Mario remains the same. Yep, you get to use Portal mechanics in Mario. What’s totally great about it is that you have the Portal gun. It’s a perfect recreation of original, from the structure of the levels down to the last note of every sound effect.

However, today is a good day, today you get to play Mari0. Unfortunately, the vast majority of them come very short of replicating the feeling you get from the original, or don’t even succeed in being fun. There is are a huge number of Mario fan-made games that roam the Internet in search of fans to play and appreciate them.
