About
Highway Trouble (or HWYT) is a mario fangame that was first released on December 25, 2009. Supernova prefers this game and it is rated T, because of its violence and difficulty. This game was inspired by a Xbox 360 game called Alien Honimid. Since Alien Honimid is fun and insane, Highway Trouble is made after the second level of Alien Honimid.
History
Highway Trouble started since August 2009, Saturn (Supernova's name back then) started to develop a shooter game with Pokémon characters for his sister. Eventually, his Pokémon game did not went out well, so he replaced all of the Pokémon elements to Mario. However, the engine is preserved. During the Christmas eve of 2009, Supernova released released the first beta version. In 2010, Supernova continue to expand this fangame, and he won twice in 2010 for the best game of September 2010 and best game settings for 2010. In July 2011, Supernova released the full version of Highway Trouble including the final boss. Since July 2011 is MFGG 10th Anniversary, VinnyVideo hosted "30 Games on MFGG Worth Playing" and Highway Trouble is on the list. Even though the full version is released, Supernova is still adding unlockable features and levels to the game. In early 2012, Supernova discontinued Highway Trouble expansion and planning a sequel: Metal Slug Mario 2: Attack of the Clones.
In September 2013, Supernova revived his old Game Maker file over GM: Mac edition and released v0.8.5 (Mac OS X). Supernova planned to add more features to it but future versions only supports Mac OS X.
Sequel
Due to broken Game Maker file that only works in Game Maker 6, and cannot be upgraded to Game Maker 8. Supernova discontinued Highway Trouble expansion and planned a sequel for this game: Metal Slug Mario 2: Attack of the Clones. Unlike Highway Trouble, most levels are not stationary.
Supernova had later begun working on another sequel developed in GameMaker: Studio, but cancelled it due to his indie fanbase disliking the idea, and low hype on MFGG's part.
Story
An army of Clones that created by Bowser tries to take over the world by invading all the highway system of Mushroom World. And they kidnapped Pricesses Peach as usual. Mario and Luigi is the only few who can stop them. You play as Mario or Luigi and attempt to shoot all the enemies using your plasma gun to foil Bowser's plan.
