Naturally some characters will have some additional changes when it comes to certain bosses. Peppino will simply attempt to hit Sans instead of grab him, the 8-bit sprites change during the scripted special attack, and if the song setting is the default it will change to an exclusive theme

Wario and Knuckles have been fully converted to the new code systems and have been improved as well!

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

It is NOT that serious, Sonic (potential volume warning lol)

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Got the visuals for the character select screen implemented, and now you can select your duo combination! (WIP)

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Lots of new improvements to the new select menu! You can now preview the music that plays throughout the whole menu, I added the character select, and there is a cursor when selecting enemies and characters so that it's no longer required to use the mouse

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

I've been working on an improved enemy select menu! Since you can fight everyone as anyone, there will be a convenient shared menu where you can choose your characters, enemies, backgrounds, and songs!

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

This may seem like an ordinary fight with messed up shadows, but this was a test. Luigi can successfully be controlled with Mario's usual key and vice versa. This means that in the future, you will be able to select any combination of available playable characters as a duo!

As a reward for showing so much love for the new trailer, here's a little treat I cooked up today! Thank you so much for your support!

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

I finally added multiple enemy battles! Things just got a whole lot more interesting (WIP)

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

This new attack for Sans has you change gravity to keep the incoming bones from dealing constant damage to you

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 16/04/2026

Hey look Donkey Kong works like a charm in this figh- oh... oh my go-

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 11/04/2026

This new attack for Shadow Mario has him turn into a floating orb and spawning Goobles from above before sneakily going for a slide kick at the end

010

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 23/03/2026

Thanks to the new code systems I made, every playable character is able to immediately fight any enemy from the get-go! That's how far behind my code was lmao

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

(WIP) I've recoded Sonic's homing attack to have a much better flow and fun mechanic. After throwing a ring, you have to press Z to aim where Sonic goes. A correct aim will allow you to hit the enemy repeatedly with it

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 30/01/2026

Here's an early look at another boss coming up, the Chuckolator from Superstar Saga!

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

I'm very proud that in 2023 my fangame was featured next to one of my biggest inspirations named Kritter, who created the fangame Mario Land: Minigame Mayhem. 2023 was the worst year of my life, I had to deal with my mother's psychotic episode and my father died, but I never gave up and I never will

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

Things are shaping up nicely for these redone systems. Now it's extremely easy to put a character in a battle not originally made for them. To make it even easier, I'm going to make the characters' dodge mechanics and physics more universal but not too much or else they'll be less unique

060

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

Working on a new Mouser boss. The first attack has him throw bombs that change their trajectory depending on where he's pointing

040

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 26/11/2025

A new evolution is slowly approaching! A lot of systems are being redone and created behind the scenes i.e. ratings, sprite reimports for optimization, and a new damage output equation with proper defense and attack stats!

071

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

Hotfix 5.6 is out! If you were having any of these issues, I recommend redownloading. Your save file will carry over like always

010

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 10/11/2025

I apologize to those who were met with a clown vomit colored Mario upon starting the game, there is a hotfix coming soon LOL (for now you can change your palette in the overworld by pressing the enter key)

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

Here's a look at Fire Mario's new special attack! The well known Mario Finale final smash with the inputs being inspired by the earth tremor special attack from The Thousand Year Door

020

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

The new palette templates are here! The second image allows for much more complex creations. Keep in mind, you must use a program that has a color swapping feature. My favorites will be added to the game. I would love to see what everyone comes up with!

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

Just a little thing, y'know no big thing... y'know- (WIP made by a new contributor)

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

Here's a special treat before the next update releases: Waluigi's new special attack! He automatically runs around and you need to collect the logos that appear to increase the attack's power #fangame #marioandluigi #waluigi #mariostrikers

020

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 06/09/2025

Gonna be trying out a new damage output equation in a future update, much more complex than what there is now and it'll make battles much more interesting

010

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

Through some quick testing, I can confirm that Superstar Simulator works perfectly on Steam Deck! All you need to do is add the EXE file to your Steam Library, set the launch option to Proton, and set your controls to keyboard and touch screen! From there you can set your controls freely.

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 19/05/2025

Here's a heavy work in progress of the new pause menu! More options will be available, but for now I added the ability to choose between each available palette

020

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 07/05/2025

Random bursts of inspiration can go crazy sometimes

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 18/04/2025

First test for detailed palette swapping was (mostly) successful!

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 17/04/2025

I've been experimenting with palette swapping and I'm liking these results so far

010

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 04/04/2025

These two may be away for the time being, but when they come back they'll be stronger than ever!

000

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 15/03/2025

With the help of a Gamemaker discord server, I got palette swapping to work! Expect selectable alternate colors in the future!

080

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

There's a bulletin board in the middle of the overworld where you can save your game and read dialogue from each character! Who's who?

000

Mario and Luigi: Superstar Simulator @superstarsimdev.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

In the upcoming 5.0 update, the title screen is being revamped with new cutscenes for each playable character that play depending on which character you chose when you last saved. Here's Bowser's!
