Ōsama (Series)

The Osama Series is a long running game series that was created as a fan-made/spin-off to the Super Mario Series. The game revolves around King Ōsama going on adventures, and trying to protect his kingdom, Subcon. The Ōsama series is one of the most recognizable Super Mario fan-game to date, even being recognized by Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of the Mario series. Shigeru said that the Ōsama series is a great way to take an underrated and underwhelming Mario character, and transforming him into one of the most recognizable gaming characters of all time, right up there with Mario himself. The game was created by Tyler Fusco. The first Ōsama game was actually Fusco's first game that he ever developed. He gained some help from his friend originally who was more experienced with coding and scripting, but after Fusco grasped the hang of it, he began developing his own games.
There are many games includes in the Ōsama series. There are currently 20 Ōsama games in the franchise at this point, with a new one in the works. Ōsama has garnered massive critical acclaim and is highly recognized worldwide as one of the best-selling fan-made game franchises to date. Each game usually revolves around Ōsama and his right-hand man, Happy, defending their kingdom from evil threats. There are obviously many other plots and storylines in the series, which will be covered later.
== History ==
Tyler Fusco first though of making a fan-made Mario game, after he played Super Mario 3D World, which he states is his favorite Mario game of all time. Fusco said that he decided that he wanted to make his own Mario-like game. In the end, he ended up taking one of the most underrated and unseen characters in the Mario series, King Ōsama, as his main character. In the Mario series, Ōsama was only seen in one Mario game, and he was seen as the ruler and king of Subcon. He had a right hand man, which was unnamed. He was the commander of Subcon. Fusco decided to give this commander a name, calling him Happy, and making him this games' equivalent of Lugi from the Mario series. 
Before even starting development of the game, Fusco contacted Nintendo, and made sure that it was alright if he could use a few Mario characters for a fan-made spin-off game. It apparently took a while for the game company to respond, but in the end, Nintendo approved of Tyler's use of the characters. Tyler also contacted his friend, who was all too familiar with scripting and coding. The duo began working on the game, and after about a year of development, the game was finally finished. Fusco released a trailer for the game on his YouTube channel, and then began promoting the game like crazy. A month later, he finally released the game, and it was public. A few weeks passed, and Fusco stated that he immediately got positive responses on his game. Many people said that the storyline was 'great' and 'mario-like'. Tyler said that he smiled upon seeing these comments, and that's when he decided that he was going to continue developing games in the Ōsama series.
