Super Mario Wars!

About

You play as Bowser leading armies of goons and creatures against Mario's forces in real time. Build bases, manage resources, and deploy units to siege castles and strongholds. Fight through levels where Koopas, Bowsers, and giant enemies clash with Mario, Luigi, and allies. Use power-ups to turn the tide from mid battle. The interface feels familiar but adds Mario-specific quirks like transforming units and terrain-based abilities. Early builds show promise with 15+ unit types and boss fights designed for strategy over brute force. Community playtests note the difficulty curve ramps up sharply after the third level. No multiplayer but the single campaign offers 12 hours of base-building and counterattacks. The pixel art leans into the chaotic side of the Mario universe without mimicking any specific game era. Some level design reuses classic platforming elements in vertical RTS maps.
