FULL DISCLOSURE: I HAVE NOT MADE A MARIO EPISODE IN YEARS. IT'S NOT GOING TO BE GOOD.

SMB: Back in Action is a pipe dream amalgamation of levels that I made a while back, and finished up a couple of days or some time ago, I forgot.
It's got six worlds. I can't afford eight worlds. We might have some extra special worlds if anyone likes this malarky.

This episode does not have custom graphics, it's raw mario beginning to end, and it was designed to be a vanilla episode. I could have done better, but whoops.
This episode has a custom soundtrack, I'd like to believe it's pretty cool. It makes it 170MB, but it's pretty cool.

I made this episode because I could. Most of the levels are very short, somewhat like SMB3, a couple of them have some secrets, a couple of them have some powerups, I tried to make a Mario episode, it probably isn't very good, but it tries to be fast-paced, fluid, and simple.

This is a simple episode. This isn't an ambitious project. Mario is simple.
Bowser kidnapped Peach or something. Go save her. It's a Mario game, why do you want a complicated plot? Do you play a Mario game for the plot? You play it to murder innocent creatures. Go do that.

This episode is a statement. It's a curveball. It's a social commentary and a random package of levels all in one.

Here's six screenshots. Take it or leave it. There's no custom graphics, there isn't going to be any custom graphics, there might be in the second episode I make in thirty years, but that's out of the scope here.
This was meant to be a simple pack. It's got a world map too but I don't really care enough to show it since it's perfectly average at best, and mediocre at worst. Like this episode.
I don't care if it clashes. It probably does. It's going to clash. There aren't Mother Brains in this episode. I'm sorry.

If you already have the soundtrack from the original version, you won't need to update that. Just take the link to the levels and paste them over your levels directory so you have the latest patch of whatever shit-tier quality this episode gets tossed into. I like to think the "trash can," but some might consider "below average."
Yes, this episode is done. Or as done as I want it to be to release. You can kill Bowser. You can go through all six of these shitfuck worlds.

Here's your download link. Play it, appreciate the simplicity, go back to your regularly scheduled chaos.
I haven't made a Mario in a long time, and I made this episode with little to no practice making a Mario. It's like making a movie where you accept all the first takes. This is this episode.
To be fair, the last episode I made was Fluishant Kingdoms, and that fucking sucked. I wanna say it's better than that. Probably. You decide. Go play it.

I hope it's better than Super Luigi World.
Enjoy.
