If Princess Toadstool managed to break free of her position in the Super Mario Bros. world and escape Bowser on her own, turns out she could not only do everything the bros could do, but she’d do it backwards. The developers of The Wild Eternal constructed a take-off game starring Toadstool where the princess needs no saving. Instead, she can float-jump her own way out of danger.

We’ve lately seen a spate of ROMs altered to give classic games a more feminist bent. There was the palette swap that allowed Zelda to save Link in Legend of Zelda and the dad who hex-edited every gendered pronoun in Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker to aid his young daughter’s immersion in the game. But Sorry Mario Bros is a top-to-bottom recreation of three Super Mario Bros. levels that scroll right to left, allowing the princess to take matters into her own hands.

Princess Toadstool is empowered with the same primary mode of transportation/weapon used by Mario (jumping), but hers has the floating leap-and-cruise mechanic of Super Mario Bros 2. She is also able to run, which makes her a little more slippery and hard to control.

The game is available either as a direct download or torrent from The Wild Eternal’s site. It’s a modest size, and in our short playtime we found it to be free of any egregious bugs. It’s far from a full-length game, but it’s a start.
