Sonic Boll 1.6 Update Coming Soon!
If you’re confused, check out the Development History.
After a long time trying to make this dream come true, we’re going to make a definitive update for Sonic & Mario @ Minus World | Sonic Boll Project with all stages and enemies from the Super Mario Bros NES Game. We will pull in new features from versions 1.2 through 1.5 to improve user experience. We’re calling this reboot “Sonic Boll Classic”.
Sonic Boll Classic will be born from the ashes of version 11.9, on Game Maker 8.1. You probably already know this version (and if you don’t, waste no time and try it! :)). We want a fully functional game we can call “Complete”, without broken characters and missing content.
Our philosophy is to make something achievable, but still good, which is better than trying to achieve the impossible. To do this, we are going to drop partially implemented and detrimental features in order to create a clean game. Fire Sonic and Ashura have been discarded, as they are fan-characters and broken in gameplay.
Stay tuned as we publish updates in this blog.
If you want to join us, find us here!
You still can find us!

See you there!
New project: “Mario & Sonic at the Mushroom World”
The game has started its development on the new enviroment (SMB3 instead of SMB), changing its name from “Sonic & Mario at the Minus World” to “Mario & Sonic at the Mushroom World“. We believe that this change was something really positive to the project development, because Sonic Characters seems to react better with the ramps and vertical exploration of the stages from Super Mario Bros. 3.
The reboot of the project started on the second week of February 2012.
We’re getting closer to a new release! Check the discussion thread for the most updated information.
Sonic Boll 11 Beta 5 release
We are on a hard work to make Sonic Boll 11 a great advance from its previous version. We have now more characters, more stages, more skinning options and even a BOT player. Try it out and help us to develop this project on Exploding Rabbit Forums.
