I can only say how an amazing job you have done!
Still, brands aside, gameplay is something you should take special care about...
No player wants a "too speedy" game that they feel like is making them catch up with the gameplay...
You put all your efforts in making your engine as fast as possible, but your gameplay is way to abrupt... It needs smoothing... You character accelerates almost instantly... And sometimes you even jump off screen!
So my advice for you is, slow a bit the scrolling, the jumping and all the visual artifacts... Put most of your efforts in the character, making it unique and LOVABLE, that's Mario main advantage... And put your game in the hands of a few kids (15 to 18 yo)...
Listen to them... Usually, they will be right...
Oh, and if I were a gambling man, I wouldn't dare betting against you!

That's exactly the point! As Nintendo won't be releasing on Android, a market vacuum is created.
This means thousands of hungry users wanting to have a similar experience on Android.
I believe that, with hard-work, perseverance, integrity and many, many luck, I can fill that void.
not really, the market has several super mario bros based games already.

the game's influence was too big to be left out I guess.
I'm surprised there ain't that many actually.
I wonder if Nintendo is still hunting the near 100% clones.
Giana Sisters was pulled back out of the store in the 80s because it looked similar
and I'm not sure if they still hunt like this as a few years ago but they might have patented part of the gameplay, the main character and super mario bros name.

I hope they didn't patent running and jumping... ahahhaha!!

there were already hundreds of games with a jumping sprite so it would've been rediculous anyway
