This thread lists the links to the portal entries of every level from my series, Super Mario Countdown. The series' main ambition is to recreate in Super Mario 63 the feel and gameplay of the Sonic franchise. As such, the following levels feature high-speed platforming, branching paths and make extensive use of the Turbo FLUDD. The different Zones also take place in locations based on real world countries (not unlike Sonic Unleashed), such as China, Russia, Egypt, Chile, and more.

Every Super Mario Countdown level can be completed in one of three ways: You can simply reach the end alive and get the Normal Shine Sprite. If you'd like to try your speedrunning skills, then you'll surely find a challenge in the Speed Shine Sprite, which you can obtain by reaching the end in a set amount of time indicated in each portal thread. Finally, if you have a keen eye for secrets and collectibles, then you might collect the Skill Shine Sprite by finding 5 red coins in each Act.

DON'T FORGET TO LEAVE A RATING ON ANY LEVEL YOU CHOOSE TO PLAY.

This additional post lists the links to the portal entries of every bonus level from Super Mario Countdown. These levels retain the same high-speed gameplay as the originals, however these Zones differ by being only one Act long, as well as by not being set in a real world location. Instead, the following are based on famous Super Mario 63 levels or series from Runouw history.

Every bonus level can be completed in one of three ways: You can simply reach the end alive and get the Normal Shine Sprite. If you'd like to try your speedrunning skills, then you'll surely find a challenge in the Speed Shine Sprite, which you can obtain by reaching the end in a set amount of time indicated in each portal thread. Finally, if you have a keen eye for secrets and collectibles, then you might collect the Skill Shine Sprite by finding 5 red coins in each Act.

I thought you had gotten the idea of Candy Coaster from Sonic: Lost World's Des(s)ert Ruins Act 2.

I thought he got the Candy Coaster idea from Sonic Colors: Sweet Mountatin instead of Sonic: Lost World.

DINGDINGDING

And Dragon Valley from Dragon Road (Sonic Unleashed), obviously. Others are pretty much original.

Lemme guess? You like Sonic, don't you...

Of course I do. I wouldn't be doing Sonic-esque levels if I didn't :3

Hi guys, Mega here bringing you more news on Super Mario Countdown.

So I was just discussing with Sk something I've been working on, and we agreed that it shall be placed withing the series. The level name is WIND GREENS and it takes place in a South England countryside, complete with windmills and a village, and I'll be the one behind it's development. That's all, I guess.

Oh, I thought all of them were inspired by a Sonic level, like Neon City from Skyscraper Scamper, Artic/Aztec Ruins from Ice Cap/Sandopolis, and Atlantic Palace from either Labyrinth Zone or Hydrocity Zone.

Well, Wind Greens is based on Windy Hill. I guess that counts.
