'''Super Mario for MegaZeux''' ( commonly abbreviated as SM4MZX), was originally produced by [[T-Bone]] in 1999 as an attempt to convert the Nintendo (NES) version of the Super Mario series into the MegaZeux platform.  
'''Super Mario for MegaZeux''' ( commonly abbreviated as SM4MZX) is a [[fan-made]] demo, developed in 1999 by [[T-Bone]] as an attempt to recreate the Nintendo Super Mario series onto the MegaZeux platform. Later on, T-Bone attempted to recreate aspects of the Super Nintendo Super Mario series and incorporate them into Super Mario for MegaZeux. This project was steered by the fact that T-Bone was an avid fan of the Super Mario Bros. series.


The game was hardly playable in its early stages due to its sluggish game play. Ever since the introduction of the [[sprite]] drawing commands, in the MegaZeux program, the game's functionality and graphics have improved greatly.

Super Mario for MegaZeux suffers from the [[demo curse]] of which many large MegaZeux projects end up facing.

Like most Super Mario games; Mario must save the mushroom kingdom.  
The game has been in production off and on since its start. The final version's supposed release date was set for 2008, but however only [[BETA]] [[demo]] versions of the game have been released as of yet. T-Bone is hopeful that the project will see its first complete full version in mid 2009.

'''The Sprites NES Style'''
 
[[image:Sm4mzx_gameplay.png|right|thumb|In-game Screenshot]]
T-Bone achieved the "appearance" of 2-bit graphics not by using software to convert 2-bit sprites. He tediously drew each sprite's animation pixel by pixel. This is what gave SM4MZX its near identical appearance to the commercialized Super Mario video games by Nintendo. The MegaZeux pixel limit per character is smaller than that of the characters in Nintendo. So all sprites have been changed to fit to scale, manually. T-Bone would often redraw the sprites onto graphic paper and figure out which pixels to shift to scale to maintain the same look as the Nintendo characters.
 
'''The Sprites SNES Style'''
 
The conversions of Super Nintendo ([[SNES]]) sprites to MegaZeux sprites would not be possible without the alteration of the original sprites' image size to suit the scale of 256 limited character table. The SNES to MZX graphics are T-Bone's self-proclaimed proudest achievements in MegaZeux graphics editing.

The story of the game is still being finalized. There was mention of the appearance of Kirby in the storyline, (a Kirby Sprite can also be seen in the SM4MZX demo title screen and at the final credits) but T-Bone maintains that nothing has been written in stone. An early screenshot of the game displays Kirby standing up high watching Mario as he approaches.
