The SMBX Preservation Archive is a collaborative effort by some members of the SMBX community and independent
enthusiasts to collect and preserve a large number of the content made for various branches of the Super Mario Bros. X
fan game after receiving news about the MediaFire's policy updating regarding inactive accounts that will lead the loss
of the large number of the valuable content if not speak about the content that was already lost in a time for various
reasons.
- The movement initiated by FyreNova at the December 2020 who made the related forum topic to invite others to join the campaign.
- In order to preserve the content, the server machine and the dedicated HDD drive is provided by Russian developer "Wohlstand" who already has enough hardware resources to preserve the content, and He has the strong enthusiasm to maintain that.
- Then, several people joined the team to help with the collecting of episodes and re-uploading them to the general archive.
- For a short time, after six months, the 155 gigabytes of content has been preserved by the team, and there is much more of the stuff!
- On the moment of October 2024, the 282 gigabytes of content and 5425 archives in total are preserved!

running in other cities and owned by Wohlstand's friends (the main server is run in the Moscow, the second is run in Vienna).
