Goomba vs. Subcon was created for a Minigame Competition in the Forums. The topic was "Goomba as the protagonist", and Goomba vs. Subcon won the first place. The plot of the game is simple: You are a one man army Goomba, you go to Subcon, you kill Wart. There is only room for one villain in the Mario universe!
From the description on the main site:
"In this game, originally made for a Minigame Competition at MFGG, but remastered for the Main Site, you control your average goomba.
Oh wait, it is not THAT average, because your goomba is actually a trained one-man-army and has a mission: Go to Subcon, Kill Wart.
On your way you will go through four different levels based on SMB2 and have to defeat a boss at the end of each. After the final mission, you will encounter your target Wart.
Getting a high-score is the main objective, as you basically can't lose the game. When you die your score is just reduced.
Warning for "Mario-and-blood-don't-go-well-together" people: Blood is ON by default, but you can switch it OFF."
Reception
The game has been rated a solid 9/10 on the main site, which makes it one of the top rated action games to date. The game's most notable flaw is probably the unbalanced-ness of the bosses, depending on your equipment. If you have a machine gun, a boss is easy to defeat, but without it you may need to extinguish your burning index finger after playing.
