Wow, I’m speechless. Have you ever wondered what would happen if Mario had a portal gun and how different the entire game would actually be? Well, time to find out as Mari0 is an indie game that is based on these two franchises. And yes, you read that right. This is an actual game under developement and it is not a mod of any existing one. It’s coded with Löve and will be released for free.
In addition, all the source code of the game will be available after release.
The game will have mappacks, which will be downloadable from ingame. Users most likely won’t be able to publish maps directly, but will be able to send them in and the developers will add them for everyone to use.
Moreover, the primary maps will have a story and some portaly puzzles and the game will support simultaneously multiplayer. Mari0 will also feature a level editor so you can edit the level while you play and all original SMB levels and Lost levels will be included.
Again, this is no joke and you can find more info at the game’s official site.
Here is also a video that will make you drool all over your monitor. Enjoy!

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
