> # Intro

* * *

Clickers are idle games─as you probably know. But─what if we brought aspects from platforming and action games and fused them with idle games? Introducing the **Mario Clicker**!

> # Mario Clicker

* * *

**Mario Clicker** is a game based on Nintendo’s _Super Mario Bros._ and uses assets ripped straight from the original game. How do you play, you ask? Well, it’s simple. You only use one button!

> ### Controls

🅐: Jump

> ### Gameplay

 ![Title Screen](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/2/5/25da1a17c161b2b1a4e8763d30255a86b74f4420.png) ![Instructions](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/makecode/original/3X/1/8/1845ddd9ea468ce030f44f95b83ce13292f15181.png)  
The player is greeted with the title screen of the game─in nice blue and white colours. The beginning of the _Overworld Theme_ from _Super Mario Bros._ plays. The screen then slides upward─and a second after─the game starts. Instructions on how to play the game appear.

When the player jumps, the coin counter’s value raises by 1 and a sound effect plays. Reaching 100 coins will reset the counter and will give you a 1-UP. A progress bar on the top-left corner of the screen will display how far you are from earning a 1-UP.

That’s pretty much all there is to the game. Now, have fun!

Why is this so awesome.  
Btw, how on earth did you make that rotated mario, _with_ the little shadow effect, _and_ the font?

My only suggestion is making it so that you collect coins only when mario hits his head on the block, and to make it so that the block kind of bounces for a moment when its hit. Oh and also that it shootss a little coin upwards that later despawns. Like the real game.

This is so simple but yet so elegant. I love it. Ps: please make the rest of the overworld theme

@Sonicblaston I am currently working on the full Overworld theme I’ll let you know when I’m done (You can use it for your game)

I tried to inplement that—but triggering an event only on the first frame of contact with the ? Block was tricky to code into the game.

I made the title screen with Photopea (Photoshop without the shop), although limiting myself to Makecode Arcade’s low screen resolution and maximum colour-on-display count of 15. It’s actually just an image imported into Makecode! Simple.

## Something’s wrong with Mario Clicker.

Hello, @frandev here! I’m the developer of Mario Clicker. A few days ago, I played Mario Clicker since it had been a long while since I did anything MakeCode-related. I noticed something was wrong: The font is total gibberish! I’ve checked the code and it seems to have nothing that could be causing this. Any idea of what might be going on?

It’s the font, for some reason the letters and numbers seem to be all messed up. I would change the font to default arcade for now, and maybe try to contact the creator of the font
