Mario's VERY Unusual Final Frontier is a fangame by Ostrich101. It is the second sequel to Mario's slightly Unusual Boss Rush, and the direct sequel to Mario vs. Some Unusual Foes. It is inspired by the 3D collect-a-thon Mario entries like Super Mario Odyssey.
Plot
After the events of the previous adventure, Peach's Castle is having even another celebration of some sorts. Mario & Luigi are once again invited over. A Power Star Festival is happening, which is a special one in a few years event where everybody in the Mushroom Kingdom gathers to see Power Stars zoom across the sky.
While at the castle party, an earthquake happens; it’s source it quickly revealed to be various dimensions portals. Bowser appears out of one of these portals along with his various Koopa Troops. He then grabs the Grand Star and destroys it, causing it’s pieces and various other Power Stars to be sent through the portals. He then leaves through one of the portals, but not before leaving a threatening message about “controlling various other universes”. Mario & Luigi jump into action, with Peach and Toad joining in. They meet up with Professor E. Gadd, who quickly equips The Odyssey with dimensional traveling technology, and a map to where the Power Stars and the pieces of the Grand Star were scattered. They then set off to retrieve them and stop Bowser.
Meanwhile, Bowser manages to restore the memories of the bosses who’ve fought Mario in the last two games and gives them one piece of the Grand Star each to safe guard. He also gives the pieces to other bosses whom Mario hasn’t fought. Bowser has also recruited Wario & Waluigi to hinder the main 4’s progress, specially giving Wario a second chance after the whole Mini-Mario fiasco (both of them are kinda broke right now so they’re desperate for Coins).
..This really is very unusual, no?
Characters
The main four characters are Mario, Luigi, Princess Peach, and Toad. Wario and Waluigi are unlocked later on in the story, and there two bonus characters *which I’m contemplating on adding or not. The game also has a partner system inspired by Sonic Advance 3 and Sonic Mania Plus, with the players being able to choose 2 characters and swap between them during gameplay. You’d be able to partner them by entering The Odyssey ship and selecting the characters in there.
Playable characters
- Mario - Mario is the all rounder, and has the average stats for jumping, running, reaching P-Speed, strength, and traction. Can Wall-Jump, Long Jump, Dive and Ground Pound.
- Luigi - Luigi jumps higher and has his Scuttle-Jump from SMB2 and NSLU, but is a bit slower, takes a little longer to reach P-Speed, is a bit weaker and is more slippery. He might also have his Backwards Jump from SM64DS. Can Wall-Jump, Long Jump, Dive and Ground Pound.
- Princess Peach - Princess Peach is the slowest runner and the weakest of the main four, but reaches P-Speed the quickest, and has the ability to Float in mid-air for a short amount of time. Can Wall-Jump, Long Jump, Dive and Ground Pound.
- Toad - Toad is the fastest and the strongest of the main four, but reaches P-Speed the slowest, jumps the lowest, and falls like a brick(?) He also has the Midair Spin from NSMBWii. Can Wall-Jump, Long Jump, Dive and Ground Pound.
- Wario - Wario is the slowest runner of all characters (same speed as Peach) and has a low jump, but he has most of his abilities from the Wario Land series, such as the Shoulder Bash for instance, and is the strongest in strength. Can’t Wall-Jump, Long Jump or Dive, but can Ground Pound (his Ground Pound is the strongest of all characters).
- Waluigi - Waluigi is the second fastest runner of all characters (same as Toad), has the highest jump (same as Luigi) and can use his Tennis racket to attack (as well as do a mid air boost), and can temporarily swim in the air (he will not ascend when doing this), but is the weakest of all of characters. Can Wall-Jump, Long Jump, Dive and Ground Pound.
- Ostrich* - Ostrich* is the third fastest character with an average jump, is slightly stronger than Mario, and can Flutter Jump. He can also do a kick to attack (as well as do a mid air boost). Can’t Wall-Jump, Long Jump or Dive, but can Ground Pound. Doesn’t affect the story in any way, and may be unlocked by finding a special hidden room in each world.
- Yeth* - Yeth* is the fastest character of all characters, and is the most different in playstyle. He controls like a Sonic character (can do roll, Spin-Dash, and Super Peel-Out), and has the ability to fly like Tails. Can’t Wall-Jump, Long Jump, Dive or Ground Pound. Doesn’t affect the story in any way, and may be unlocked by finding special collectibles in some of the worlds.
Non-playable characters
- Helper characters - Once all of a world’s Power Stars are collected, a special event occurs where you’ll have to either guide a special “helper” character (unique to each world) to the location of the boss or let the “helper” character guide you to the boss. The helper character will also attempt to assist you during a boss, depending on what the boss is.
- Other Mini-Marios - Special missions include them having to be rescued from enemies.
