The phrase “Tremendous Mario FPS” conjures up a sure picture for me: a customized Counter-Strike: Supply gun sport map perhaps, or a extremely edgy Doom WAD just like the so-rad-they-took-it-down Bikini Backside Bloodbath (opens in new tab). One thing within the spirit of, ahem, “tribal” tattoo Mario (opens in new tab), principally. Developer Sean Noonan’s Tremendous 1-1 (opens in new tab), alternatively, is extra of a healthful, good-hearted tackle the idea.
We first reported (opens in new tab) on Noonan’s idea again in 2019, and the developer gave it a full launch early the subsequent 12 months. Nintendo’s crack authorized division appeared to provide it a keep of execution, and that appeared like the top of issues till simply this week. On March 11, Noonan revealed an replace to Tremendous 1-1 that provides new collectibles, back-end tweaks, and rendering updates. The total modifications are listed right here:
- Up to date mission from 4.26 to 4.27

I bear in mind being tickled by the idea three years in the past, however I by no means truly loaded Tremendous 1-1 and tried the sportâ âit is nice! Mario’s actions translate very well into first-person, and also you’re armed with a plunger-launching cannon that will get stronger as you gather mushrooms, an actually fairly impressed little bit of FPS weapon design that meshes completely with the Mushroom Kingdom. I additionally love seeing 3D platformer collectathon-style design hammered into an FPSâ âit jogs my memory of the unimaginable Doom: The Golden Souls (opens in new tab) sequence of WADs.
For the sake {of professional} pleasure and journalistic integrity, I needed to uncover its hidden degree as effectivelyâ âsolely I could not learn how anyplace. Alpha Beta Gamer (opens in new tab)‘s video on Tremendous 1-1 exhibits them loading into it instantly after 100percenting the bottom degree, so I attempted that, after which I attempted it once more in underneath 5 minutes all to no avail.
Shout out to xVioletRain (opens in new tab) on YouTube, who included the directions how on their three-year-old speedrun video that I used to be solely the one hundred and twentieth individual to observe. You simply put within the Konami Code on the beginning display screen along with your keyboard (up up down down left proper left proper B A). It is a cute, fully-linear sky degree form of deal, harking back to lots of 3D Mario secret ranges. I am glad I noticed it, and my nice wrestle to take action made it all of the sweeter.
God keen, the demo’s almost 4 years on-line implies that Nintendo’s Terminator-like authorized crew will proceed to abide its innocent existence. Tremendous 1-1 is a enjoyable and creative mission, and I like to recommend checking it out your self on itch.io (opens in new tab).
