Power-Up with Super Mario 68K
Posted by Michael on 22 June 2007, 22:18 GMT
![[Super Mario 68K]](/images/news/2007-06-22-mario.jpg) The kind of wonderful calculator game that comes along only once every few years has just been released: Super Mario 68K by Lach Asderity.
As the name implies, it is an intricately written Super Mario game for the 89, 92+, and Voyage 200 calculators. With too many features to completely list here, some of the highlights are grayscale, a million and a half types of monsters, three bosses, a plentiful plethora of powerups, hidden areas, the ability to save your game, and most importantly, 70 levels so boredom becomes a thing of the past.
A level editor is also planned in the future. For those of you without a 68k calculator, you can gaze wistfully at the large number of screenshots available at the Super Mario 68K homepage.

Very impressive! This is sure to keep me entertained on a few road trips this summer.
Although the entire thing was incredibly well done, I do have one (hopefully) small request: Up/Down allowing camera scrolling while standing in one place.
I know that crouching uses the down key, but the screen could be adjusted after a short delay of crouching. Hopefully this wouldn't be too complicated...

Plus, if you have an active imagination, you can fill in the sound effects-- you know, "Let's-a go!" when entering a level, "Mam-ma mia!" when you lose a life, and that catchy Super Mario 64 music throughout.

Hello,
This might not be the right place to ask my questions, but since i need all your help, here it goes:
I recently got an 89-Titanium (previously i used a 92-Plus) and i would like to ask what is the correct archive section for the TI-89 Titanium programs?
Is the same as for the old TI-89 or the one for the Voyage-200 (since the Voyage-200 and the TI-89 Titanium have the same hardware and OS)?
Thanks in advance for your help, best regards

I played through all the levels up to Bowser's lair yesterday. All I can say is...wow. This seems like something from the GameBoy. I remember always wishing that Mario games on the calculator would include pipes that worked (without crashing randomly), but this one has almost everything.

damn, I found my silverlink and installed TI-connect, but DeviceExplorer doesn't find my titanium...
I'm going through so much trouble even though I probably won't touch my 89 after this summer
