Star League, the most official of Mario games.

Time Turner

You are filled with determination. (R/GD/TT)

Don't mind the lack of a title: this is Star League, an iOS game which has definitely been licensed by Nintendo and has definitely been given the right to use assets from the Super Mario series.

Despite what Peach here is saying, this game definitely said Star League when I downloaded it. Also, I did not name myself Captain SAMA, the name just decided that I would prefer to be called that.

Wait a minute, Mario doesn't talk! I knew something here was fishy!

Truly, Mario is the most well-spoken of heroes. He spent years in college for a liberal arts degree, and he'll make good use of it!

Unfortunately, those years in college has left him completely sheltered from his own family. He can no longer remember his brother's name; even when the text box calls him Luigi, he doesn't recognize it.

Those exclamation points really sell how serious the situation is.

As this is nothing more than screenshots, this is a good opportunity to point out that every piece of dialogue has been accompanied with a voice clip. I bring this up now because Bowser's clip is, word-for-word, "I am the great Wart! Mwahaha!"

Clearly, Wart was actually Bowser all along! All these years, we've been hoping that he made a comeback, and it turns out that he was here this whole time.

Actually, Bowser isn't here. Guess he went to clean his shell or something?

pSZEkJD.png


Wait, never mind, Bowser just wanted to make a dramatic appearance after having already made his appearance. Second impressions matter and whatnot.

You know the drill. Even shoddy clearly official iOS games know to stick to the basics. We have a definite goal, so let's-a-go!

QAg6JDK.png


But not before some gratuitous swearing!

4jrVHfe.png


Meta Knight, what are you doing here, silly? Can't you tell that this is a Mario game?

what the hell is this game
 
Please show more, please.
 
Will this be on Steam Greenlight!?!?!?!?!!?!?
 
And we all thought Nintendo's move to mobile was a good idea!

But wait! It's not on Android! Thank you to whoever developed this "game" for saving half the population from something totally not for Mario fa - wait, scratch that. Totally not for anyone who thinks this a real Nintendo game - wait, no, how about not for anyone who likes actual games.

But seriously, I wanna know who made this game and how long it's going to be before Nintendo sues them. If Nintendo didn't make it, that is. If Nintendo did make it, then I think I might just have to boycott them once and for all.
 
good find Time Turner-sama.

Well, there's no holding it back. World 1, which for some reason is the burning lava world usually reserved for the final world, here we go!

(Hi, Link! Hi, MegaMan!)

8iFD4uO.png


Please stop calling me that. At least stop shouting it.

8iFD4uO.png


Luigi has apparently decided to cower in the corner, considering he's nowhere to be found. Even in the realm of iOS, nothing has changed.

ZLG7KmZ.png


I didn't get a good shot of it here, but you actually start off with seven characters and not just the one that we saw before. You can see bits of them here, but first, we need more dialogue!

...

Bowser Jr. confirmed to be Peach's son?

8eKyofj.png

Bowser isn't even the king of anything. He has a castle, sure, but he hardly uses it to rule over anything.

YBHdfbC.png


Nobody calls me chicken.

ji2zI4r.png

8BiVVuZ.png


So the fight begins, and- OUCH. Over two hundred damage on the first attack?! This really is the final world!

tiksPvh.png


Let's actually take a look at our team now. We have Mario, Luigi, Yoshi (makes sense), Toad (finally being useful), Toon Link (not even adult Link?), Charmander (clearly the strongest of Pokemon) and Amy Rose (who raises her pinkie when swinging her hammer like a proper lady, and also she isn't even a Nintendo character WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE)

H6fJfaW.png

MLNFMGh.png


In other news, attacks hurt, but fear not, for it is our turn!

6w1eoti.png

4gR9skN.png


Toad Kinopio actually uses a Double Cherry to split into three and then swings a pickax (Super Pickax). If I wasn't annoyed at the game's premise, I'd be impressed.

9zdCZCL.png


Luigi glares at the enemy so hard that shells fly out of his eyes.

dzFvWLg.png

E7O3Rol.png

WPmuP1R.png


Yoshi, meanwhile, uses a hidden martial arts move only known by the most prehistoric of users: Eggy Spirit Bomb!

g8lnOZ7.png

CKtZ9T1.png


Our opponents take their turn: true to character, Donkey Kong attempts to smash everyone, and Wario pelvic thrusts a bomb.

4gCJum5.png

HeutUD2.png


uhhuh yep that's totally a mace good job game

ID5xjjg.png


Unlike all of the other characters, Link can only attack a single enemy, making him dubiously useful, but in moments where the player must face a single powerful enemy, he can be invaluable. Of course, this is assuming there's something that resembles thought in this game.

WSvJGDW.png


You sure looked pained, Bowser the Second.

S37Y7bj.png


For a tutorial, this seems unfair.

HOT HOT HOT I WAS RIGHT

Right, of course, the Assisting Power that Mario always uses. It's his signature move, just ahead of his headbutt that everyone knows he does.

4Qw1MiG.png


Boy, the Matrix sure has gone through some renovations.

TlVUQMO.png

rNhl8Un.png


This is the first part of the game that actually feels like I'm in control.

9uAG6Kk.png

ruPsvIe.png


And there it goes. Goodbye, control; you will be missed.

XtpYBAn.png


Kinda late to the party, Charmander, the heroes already did their uber attack and everything.

SCjy0y6.png


As it turns out, Assisting Power is pretty lame, since Chamander's Ember was what took it out.

L9P1Rq5.png


But who cares about that, we won! And Mario, being the valiant hero that he is, hogs all of the experience for himself.

I've also gotten a ticket (which I forgot to screencap but take my word that it was there)! Let's see what it does!

062.png


You know, I'm starting to think that this may not be a Mario game after all. It might actually be a Smash Bros. game!
 
Ok, why is this not an official thing?

I mean shit if Nintendo really wanted to they could do a mini mario and friends crap where the game is free and you just need to buy amiibos to get the character on your team.
 
honestly if nintendo did something like this (obviously without all of the bad translation and shitty sprites and other typical bootleg stuff) it could actually be a really cool phone game
 
For what it's worth, the (seemingly) original artwork is pretty decent. I wouldn't be surprised if it was as stolen as everything else, but all of it is fluid and expressive. Each attack also makes sense for what the characters normally do, so props to the dev for that. If the sprites are actually original, it begs the question as to why they didn't just make an original game.

He's the king of darkland btw.

Ok, this is the time to reveal it...

Bowser's real name is Wart von Koopa.
WartstehtunterStrom_CN.jpg

After his son Ludwig was born, he fled to the Dark Land for unknown reasons, and there he changed his name to Bowser Koopa. His subsequent children were named only Koopa accordingly.
Don't tell this to Bowser Jr., though, he's too little to understand.
 
can someone give me a link to this game? google is telling me nothing of this masterpiece

search for star league on the app store, its like the third entry.

the game is only on ios
 
Or if you don't mind Chinese, look for Pocket All-Stars, that might be for Android if it hasn't been taken down or filled with viruses...
 
Fake games usually end up being so bad it's it's good but this looks like someone actually put effort in.

I'm shocked.
