Boshi's Xventure was a little known demo fangame, by bigmariofan1.0. This was his first (And almost only) fangame ever to be released on the net. The fangame stars Boshi from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, chosen because not many other fangames star this character. The game was made in Game Maker 5.3 since there were still many people at the time that could not run Game Maker 6.1

Story
The basic premise revolves around the kidnapping of Yoshi, with Boshi serving as the anti-hero going out to save him. This was the simple plot to an otherwise hectic game.
Development
As of now the game is still unfinished, though it has been worked on since its last release. There are no current plans to continue development of this game, however the idea of remaking (and completing) the game is in consideration. If the game were to be remade, Game Maker 8 is the ideal tool to use for its production.
Gameplay
The idea behind the game was to create arcade-style survival point-collecting stages with many unique twists to each level. This game features the flutter kick featured in Yoshi's Island, a variety of different enemies and levels, one boss stage, a load and save feature, health, a high-score table, and more. Although this fangame was not completely bug-free. Bugs included are a healthbar glitch and getting stuck in walls.
Feedback
The game's unique style of play gained some praise and mixed feelings from its reviews. Most reviews were very fair in judgement saying that the idea was usually good, but the bizarre gameplay was held down by various glitches and unpolished concepts. It currently has an average rating of 6.7 on MFGG.
