Story
Mario returns from his holiday to Sarasaland, and Princess Peach has prepared a party for him. However, at the same time, the Shroob empire plans to make a comeback and completely conquer the Mushroom Kingdom with their new invention: the evil machines that are able to suck the Vim out of Toads. Taking control of the Koopas, including Bowser and his henchman Lakithunder, Princess Shroob's forces invade the Mushroom Kingdom and they kill a lot of Toads. At the same time, Bowser's minions, unaware of the control, attack Peach's Castle and Lakithunder scatters the Power Stars around the Mushroom World. Mario goes off to retrieve the Stars from the courses. Can he retrieve the 120 Stars and 7 Grand Stars and stop Princess Shroob for once and for all?
History/idea behind the game
Gardevoir was practicing for about 3/4 years with Game Maker, when he got the idea to make a platformer that isn't just running through some levels. He got impressed by the flash fangame Super Mario 63, and decided to make a game with Hello's Engine. However, that became a simple SMB3-clone with a lot of lag. Gardevoir then decided to cancel the game and start developing his own engine. That phase of the game is basically what it's now.
Gameplay
Super Mario 2009 plays just like the traditional Mario platformer, but it is combined with Super Mario 64's Star collecting. It also has SMW's P-balloon powerup that fills Mario with air just like it did in the classic. There's a variety of enemies which Mario can stomp on. Mario can also pick up and kick away some items, but for Koopa shells this has yet to be implemented.
