Super Mario Theta is a fangame in production by Mario Gamer and Yoshiman. It is their first attempt at a traditional Mario game, a departure from their usual mini-games. It has been in production since late 2006 and was unveiled at the 2007 Nintendo Community Fangame Convention. It again reappeared at the 2008 Nintendo Community Fangame Convention, this time with a demo. The game's details have been under tight wraps since production began to protect interest, one of the reasons Mario Kart: Beanbean Circuit failed.
Story
The plot revolves around Bowser obtaining possession of the Theta wand, a device that is powered by the nine colors of the world. Their balance is upset when the wand is stolen, and used to attack the Mushroom Kingdom. This leaves a new unheard of destruction in it's path. Mario arrives just in time to be "decolorized" himself and wakes up in a weird dimension between worlds...
Gameplay
Super Mario Theta is based off of a traditional Mario side-scroller. The game will be laid out in a semi-linear format, with levels being unlocked after the previous is completed. However the game will also be set up like a 3D adventure and feature a hub world, with free roaming.
Production
The game came to shape throughout the later half of 2006, when Mario Gamer began toying with the idea of a traditional Mario game. Throughout the next year the game's levels and concepts were written out and Yoshiman signed on to help with the game. On July 22, a website was launched with the first teaser for the game. Throughout the next few weeks an ad campaign began, each week with a new message; SOAR AT THE UMPIRE, AM I PEAS OR THE RUT, I STARE THE ROAM UP, I HATE MA ROT PURSE. In the end the title finally appeared as Super Mario Theta and all other messages were revealed to be anagrams of the tiel. The game was officially announced with a trailer at the 2007 Nintendo Community Fangame Convention.

The test included Mario in a completely empty gray Peach's castle, complete with a main foyer, the back hallway and the courtyard. All other doors were locked. This has since been Revealed as the game's main hub, ala Super Mario 64.
On April 1st, 2008 it was revealed the game was "complete" and was submitted to the main site.
