Ummm... Super Mario Titans?... What?!
Okay so first impressions of this leak... AI slop? A well made elaborate ruse? Just look at that SUPER Super Mario... That looks so WEIRD! That being said. After reading the supposed plot to this game... I dig it!
So along with this "leak" there was a description of what the game is:
(this is quoted from the leak)
It's called "Super Mario Titans" and it's an open-world game where, in each environment, you find an ally and level up with them through platforming levels until they're able to become a Superhero alongside Mario to take on the boss of that world.
Once you defeat the boss, you obtain one of 10 jewels.
In each environment, there are warp portals that take you to traditional platforming stages. These stages aren't lazy like Mario Odyssey, but are more in line with what you see in Mario 3D World.
In these stages, you can use both Mario's and your ally's mechanics to complete levels and level them up. You level them up by beaing the stages.
Some of these levels are blocked off unless you have a certain number of emblems. Meaning you need to explore the open world to unlock them.
Some environments in the open world include, a honeycomb beach hybrid, with massive beehive jet skis and more. A vertical cloud medieval village location with giant stingrays and whales in the clouds. An abandoned dinosaur jungle and theme park mashup. A world that takes place on a giant airship where Bowser literally becomes Mario's ally. The "real" final boss took control over what Bowser thought he had. An underground cave made of purple jewels and grape soda. a sci-fi Arabian desert that combines the future and the past ect.
Hmmm... Purple Jewels and... Grape Soda? This is all so bizarre BUT I really like the idea of Mario not being the end all hero. A game where Mario helps a character become a hero of their world. That's awesome!
