Copying from SomethingAwful. This looks really awesome!

Gameplay trailer showing off Solo, Co-op and Editor modes.
V1.2 of this just came out, and it's a pretty huge leap forward from earlier builds, as it now supports everything that was in SMB3/World, including sloped/slidy surfaces, autoscrolling and swimmable water. On top of that, there's a bunch of new powerups and enemies, either made from scratch or imported from other games.
Essentially, this is pure Mario, just as you remember it (ala SMB3/SMW). Just running at a higher resolution, with a built-in realtime editor (play the level as you're constructing it), and full simultaneous co-op play which splits the screen intelligently if the players move too far apart. It comes with a 50-level campaign out of the box, plus many, many more to find on the official levels forum.
There's really not much else to say other than that it's great and you should all get it if you like Mario at all. Oh, and give the editor a spin, too. It's super-easy and intuitive, and it's pretty fun to tool around with godlike powers while you're jumping around.
So basically it's a Mario fangame that pays homage to all previous 2D Marios, adds co-op support, realtime level editing, custom powerups, and more. And the physics are supposed to be similar to SMW's physics. I've definitely got to check this out.
