Overview
Welcome to the official NCFC booth for Mushroom Patrol - The Midas Machine! Let's clear the most important questions for you!
What Is Midas Machine?
Mushroom Patrol - The Midas Machine (or in short just Midas Machine) is the official MFGG fangame project. The goal is to create a quite large game using only 100% custom graphics, music and programming.
The team is led by Guinea and Chaoxys and assisted by an on-and-off cast of helpers, usually our musicians. If you have seen our trailer last year, you know what to expect and we have still improved a lot of things.
While we are only going to show a demo of the complete first world on the show, progress "under the hood" has been made. You can see some of the later levels in the screenshot gallery and also in our trailer available in the video section.
What Makes It Different?
While we're trying to recreate a typical Mario experience for which we all love Nintendo, this game is not supposed to be simply a "remake" or "just another fangame". We tell you what makes this game unique in this section.
The Characters
This game has from the beginning been designed to support four different characters: Mario, Luigi, Wario and Waluigi. Each character has his strengths and weaknesses and also a special ability. These individual treats allow the characters to take different paths through the levels and make the same level a different experience for each character.
The Music
You could say Midas Machine is the Super Smash Bros. Brawl of fangaming when it comes to the musical score. The best musicians from MFGG came together and composed both remixes of classic Mario titles and completely original pieces. Even if you are not a fan of Mario gameplay, it's worth playing this game for the music alone!
The Graphics
The Midas Machine style holds true to the designs created by Nintendo while still giving them some original touches. Fitting to the Mario series, the style is bright, cheerful, and cartoony.
The Story
This is the story of two villains who unite their obsessions with power and gold to bring chaos over the Mushroom Kingdom. The power of a mysterious artifact from an ancient culture is harnessed using a modern machine. The Mario Bros. and Wario Bros. join forces, although having different motivations. Will that be an issue in the end?
The Gadd DSe
A handheld system filled with all kinds of useful world-saving utilities, developed by the one and only greatest scientist in the Mushroom Kingdom, Professor Elvin Gadd. It serves as a pause menu, communication interface, item selector and camera. More applications are developed for the system as you are reading this.
Enjoy!
