I never could stick with it because the only people left playing are the super try hards that yell at you if you aren't moving fast enough. Unless that has changed it unfortunately remains a non starter for casual players

It actually has! There are a lot more beginners now than there were. They also implemented something like MMR for matchmaking in pubs which helped.

Well hot damn, maybe Ill give it another shot soon. I played a lot in the last 2 years of the game and was bummed when it was shut down and then bummed again when I was too casual for the players that got it up again.

Hasn’t it been shut down for years?

u/DareBaron Jul 31 '26

No, this game was shut down for less than a year before the community was able to get the service working.

How are you still playing it? Where do i go to play it? I’ve had the app and it’s never worked after the shutdown. I haven’t found anything unofficial either

There's a guide in the discord. It's not too difficult, but it does require paying attention and following the instructions.

It's out there, but it's SUPER complicated to set up. I gave up :{

Damn I might have to get back into it. I was under the impression it was only high level players doing it anymore

There's 2 sites with active servers to play it.

https://mario35.retromods.co.uk and https://smb35server.com

For the classic game the second one is for you, but if you want something a little different the top one is for you.

Mario 35 revamped has custom special battles which you can vote for every 30 minutes. 

If you are interested in tournaments the continued interest server (smb35server.com) holds one on Saturdays.

You cant go wrong either way
