When Unreal Tournament 3 goes 2D

InnerDemon | April 27, 2008 | Video | PC Playstation 3 
When Unreal Tournament 3 goes 2D, you get Super Mario. You heard me right, it is Super Mario indeed.

The look tries to keep the look of the original Super Mario Bros. from the NES. The sounds from the original game are in the PC version and if you hit the ? mark blocks, you get a little surprise.

Very few issues are known, but it seems to be working fine.
Downloads are at the source for the PS3 and PC.

And a short video showing it off:
Name: UT2D-SuperMario_Beta1
Version: beta 1
Compatibility: UT2D 1.0
Description: Super Mario Bros from the original NES, now in 3d...err...in UT2D

Comments: I tried to keep the look and feel true to the original NES game design. A combination of blocky platforms, 2d and 3d decorations make up the scenery. I've also included sounds from the original game in the PC version. Jump up at the question mark blocks for a fun surprise.

I need someone to confirm that the PS3 version is working.

Known issues:
Bots rarely grab the UDamage without a translocator.(affects deathmatch)
Bots can pick up the Berserk but can't get back out of that area.
In deathmatch, bots prefer to use the lower level because of the rocket launchers.
When gibbed, player's camera will sometimes fall out of level

To Do List:
Tweak botpathing
Re-evaluate item placement
Add a few blocking volumes to resolve camera issues
Various texture issues
Add more sounds to PC version
Find decent stock sounds for PS3 version

    Yea I played with this mod about 2 weeks ago. Its just a damn shame that so few people still play the game and/or download all these mods. So much great content has gone to waste.

    This game rules with or without 2D + Super Mario mode, but this mode rules, I really like it. I hope I can give it a try, if I'll ever get my hands on UT3.
