Mushroom High

== Mushroom High (Windows 10) ==
Mushroom High is a 2025 sandbox game for the Windows 10, created in partnership with Nintendo and Square Enix.
== Summary ==
The game's premise is quite similar to that of the Nintendo High series, with many of the roles being comically reversed. Mario (and Luigi, if a second player is available) struggle to survive the school terms, all whilst trying to piece together the mysterious past of their town, Ninten. By conversing with their classmates, the brothers can forge strong bonds that will aid them in future ventures, as well as helpful background information about the town and it's various residents. Sidequests, such as the "Trophy Run" and the Halloween event, reward the player with several unique power-ups and items that can't be found anywhere else. Mario can also apply for jobs throughout the town, as a way to gain some decent coinage, but can also help the police by hunting down the Shyists, a gang of terrorists bent on instilling a reign of terror upon Ninten. As for Peach and Bowser's plot, there is no romance between them, with Bowser posing as a feminine teacher and Peach serving as Mario's bully throughout the game. 
== Gameplay ==
Due to being a sandbox game, there's no particular plot in mind. Mario can follow a set plotline, but otherwise can go wherever he wants. Though platforming isn't nessecary, there are several areas in which you'll need to platform to reach puzzle items or apply for a job (e.g a Police Man). Almost every character Mario attacks will retaliate, though some will occasionally run away from him. If Mario decides to turn against the law, NPCs will point him out, causing officers to chase him down. As mentioned before, he may also attempt to hunt down the local terroist gang, the Shyists, using weapons bought from Nittle, a local arms dealer. In return for the Shyists captured, a bounty is rewarded, and Mario may be able to get a job on the police force. Depending on who the brothers have allied with, certain NPCs will aid them in battle, sometimes even taking a bullet for them. When it comes to puzzles, certain tools may be required, from magnifying glasses for investigating footprints, dusting brushes for uncovering murder weapons or the Boo Mushroom, which allows Mario to commune with the dead.
