Super Mario War is a multi-player PC fan game based on (and using) the artwork from Nintendo's famous Mario games. The makers consider the use of copyrighted artwork to fall under the "fair use" consideration, although personally I doubt that would hold much validity in court. Regardless, I hope Nintendo leaves these guys alone, because they've created a fun and compelling game that both Windows and Linux users (and Xbox users, surprisingly) can enjoy. The game features a multitude of modes, as well as a game level designer, and over 400 user-submitted levels, providing almost limitless replay value.
If you're at all familiar with the Mario line of side-scrolling games, and really... who isn't, you'll understand how to play this game. It's all about stomping on each other, the way Mario squished his enemies in all of those classic games. Happy stomping!
