Two games from Bonzomonks; one is a full game and the other is actually a work in progress but you can play 3 levels in the meantime.

Super Mario Mayhem is a great game with 18 levels and only 1.15 MB. It’s funny and lots of fun!

Super Mario Underground is the demo game that I’m anxious to see finished! The three levels should keep you busy for a bit though.

Time to catch up on Mario Week posts, so here’s a portable multi-platform Super Mario multiplayer game called Super Mario War. I wasn’t able to test this one since I couldn’t find anyone to play with but it looks pretty good. You can play up to four players and there are lots of different game modes to choose from. Check out all the screenshots of the game on the web site!

Another portable Mario game for Mario Week called Super Mario Pac for Windows. It’s very small at just 1 MB! Here’s a description of the game from the web site:

Mario is trapped and being attacked by evil creatures, he must use his plumbing skills and the FLUDD backpac he acquired on a recent holiday to escape. Control Mario, moving him left, right and water-thrusting him into the air, in order to collect and assemble his pipe escape route and poison any plants in his way. Use the FLUDD water cannon to drench the attacking enemies. Don’t forget to refill your FLUDD backpac regularly or you’ll really be in trouble!

For Day 2 of Mario Week, here is an excellent portable Mario clone called Secret Maryo Chronicles: http://www.secretmaryo.org/ The extracted game is over 40 MB and is available for Windows and Linux platforms. The game is regularly maintained so make sure to bookmark the secretmaryo.com site for upgrades and news.

I’ll let you browse the site for all the screenshots and a video demo of the first-level.

Judging from the popularity of the last Mario Brothers post, there are a lot of Mario fans out there! So for the next week I’ll explore several portable Mario games – starting with Mario Kart; a great diversion for the weekend!

We have 3 different portable versions of this great game:

• SuperTuxKart
• Super Mario Kart
• Super Mario Kart Remix: Super Circuit note: this version only runs on Windows95, Windows98, WindowsME and Windows2000

SuperTuxKart
A 3D remake using the famous Linux mascot Tux. Lots of different scenery and lots of fun. This is definitely my favorite! It’s a hefty 36 MB and has Windows and Linux versions.

Super Mario Kart
This is a 2D game and is pretty good. It’s 1.79 MB and for Windows only; quite a bit lighter than SuperTuxKart if you can’t spare the space.

Super Mario Kart Remix: Super Circuit
Since this game doesn’t run on XP, I was unable to test it. It is portable and it had some good reviews on Acid Play. Give it a try if you’re running on Windows95, Windows98, WindowsME or Windows2000.

If you’re a Mario Brothers fan, check out the portable Mega Mario. This game is under 8 MB, includes a level editor and is available for both Windows and Linux.
