Super Mario Cowabunga! is a spiritual sequel to Super Mario Melatonin, known most for its engine(using the Multimedia Fusion Platform Movement extension) and the odd decision to use a Jellyfish song for the first level. It was created both as a birthday present for several board members and a way to see the reaction to an engine in progress for a future game.
Trivia
- The song featured in the first level is 'Baby's Coming Back' by Jellyfish. There is a connection between Mario and the band, as Jellyfish has made a song about Mario before ('Ignorance is Bliss', which was featured on a Nintendo compilation called White Knuckle Scorin'.)
- Out of all engines created for Tech Wing games, it is one of the most fully featured ones and closest to the real Mario games. It's being used in at least one future Tech Wing title.
- SMC! is the second of only 3(?) games on MFGG to use the Super Mario Land Superballs rather then Fireballs. The first is the SML demo engine in a demo of Thingio, the third being the final version of Thingio Side A.
- Black Squirrel was inspired by it's use of the powerup and created a Superflower on a sheet of Mario tiles and sprites, however the design differs from the one seen in SMC!.
