Somari Adventures (NES)

Somari Adventures (NES) is a deleted mod/remix of the Scratch.mit.edu game Super Mario Bros (version 10) by PaulKoning. It was created in 2018 by Felixman128 and was intended to replicate old school NES/Famicom games. The music featured was from the NES game Felix the Cat by Hudson Soft and YouTuber Bulby. In February of 2020, a Butterfly game remake of the game had began production, but ultimately ended up being cancelled. Today, the game is currently lost as it was deleted off of the website later in 2018 by Felixman128 for unknown reasons.

Story
Far away from the the locations of the main Somari Adventures series lies an island of peace and joy named Cookie Land, inhabited by unsupervised, sweet-eating schoolchildren. Somari's evil scientist brother Lance, who had set up his new laboratory in Cookie Land in order to use its resources to build his latest invention, grows tired of the relentless joy and laughter of the nearby Tots. Using a giant net-swiping machine, Lance captures all of the Tots and locks them into towering cages, just as Somari arrives in his biplane after learning Lance's new location. With the help of his new Clone-o-rama Machine, Lance creates the Lancemen army and Somari must once again stop Lance's evil schemes and save the inhabitants of Cookie Land.

In the remake, the story was changed to Lance dropping the Tots onto deserted islands, as in the remake Somari does not free the Tots from cages.

Gameplay
Somari Adventures (NES) remains completely unchanged from the original PaulKoning game in terms of gameplay, with the only exception being that lives were completely removed from the game due to a glitch where losing a life would cause the game to freeze and require to player to simply reset the game, which was exclusive to Somari Adventures. This made the game a lot harder, but also made up for version 10's short length in terms of levels.

To progress through each stage, Somari would need to use the jump in order to hurdle Tot Houses (which resemble Somari's modern house design), Spikers that protrude from the ground, Shy Blocks which will drop Somari once standing upon them, and more dangerously, Ghostly Lancemen and Armored Lancemen. Ghostly Lancemen require Somari to jump on their heads twice to defeat them, while Armored Lancemen will shoot cannonballs that will kill Somari in one hit.

Once the player beats all of the games levels, they will get a screen that says "THE END."

Somari Adventures: Double Lance Trouble!!
Somari Adventures: Double Lance Trouble!! was an attempted Butterfly engine remake of Somari Adventures (NES). Although the game wasn't completed, an unfinished build was released which showcased wonky collision and incomplete graphics. According to Felixman128, the game was cancelled due to difficulty programming collision and lack of approval from PaulKoning for using his level designs. Despite the development issues, the game's OST was well received by the Butterfly Animation community.
