Return to Retroville

Return to Retroville is an upcoming SMBX Episode created by Eclipse (Talon Smart). Its purpose is to create a retro 2d platformer where Mario travels back in time to the world of 8-bit.

History

Return to Retroville was one of the pre-games by Eclipse. This meant that Eclipse worked on the project long before Neoflash even existed. Return to Retroville began on a Dell Inspiron laptop running Windows XP. Eclipse began working on it out of boredom, and kept adding levels. His prototype has not been released to the public yet, nor is it present on his Mediafire / Mega.nz accounts. However, it is planned to be released to the public shortly.

After Dark Star Adventure's public release, Eclipse began working on a public and much better version of Return to Retroville. A 4 level prototype was released to the public, and it received lots of positive feedback. Furthermore, a gameplay video of the prototype was uploaded to the official Neoflash account, and it received 3,000+ views.

Currently, Return to Retroville is a work-in-progress. Development has slowed down in late 2016 due to the rise of Talon Smart (Miiverse), and a couple other projects.

"Note: This is just a 5 level Demo. This is not the complete game.

Admit it, we've wanted a good Time Traveling Mario game ever since that horrible Mario's Time Machine game hit store shelves. But this game, has gone WAY beyond expectation.

One day, Mario woke up to 8-bit enemies invading Tanooki Village. He searches for the source of the problem and finds out that a strange house has appeared.

The goal of Return to Retroville is simple. To make a fun, challenging, and rewarding SMBX Episode which feels like a true 8-Bit platformer. We want to create a SMBX Masterpiece. But we can't do that without your feedback. If there's something you don't like about the game, or you just want a new feature, feel free to tell us."

Plot
The entire plot to Return to Retroville has not been released to the public yet, but it has been pre-planned and is currently being followed as development takes place.
