Ultra mario engine is a game engine created by Ultramario. It's the the latest of his GameMaker work.

Overview

Quickies

Ultramario was once tired of fangames, made with limited and glitchy Trisoft's engine. He then decided to do his own engine, which is going to be open source too.

Features

Ultramario refuses to program 100% accurate basic physics to Mario, because it would take a lot of effort and won't make any remarkable differences to gameplay at all. He's going to put the effort to features instead:

• Slopes
• Run up walls
• Swimming
• Spinjump
• Item carrying/throwing
• Climbing on fences, which is also two sided
• Item sprout out after block bounces once
• P-Switch that effects on coins, brick blocks doors. Effect also lasts from room to room
• Pipe network and multiple entrance systems
• Invisible blocks and smartly build "slide out of blocks", which makes it hard to get stuck in blocks
• One-way and auto-scrolling views
• Reserve box
• Level timer and music speed-up
• Blocktrain
