MariObama (Game)

**MariObama**, also known as **Obamanation One**, was a Mario-like platformer developed by LeatherIceCream, Luz and Harvey Rothman. It was cancelled in around of 2015-2016 due development problems.

## Story

The game starts with describing a dragon, named Liz, who wears a fancy outfit and a tie that prevented the world from being taken over by havoc and other absurd beings. One day Liz was at the dry cleaner, as Obama comes in to get his tie. However, his tie has same color as Liz's tie, so he gets confused on which one was his for very long time. Then he, by accident, picks up Liz's tie. But once Liz comes to take the tie, it's gone. And as it's gone from it's owner for too long, everything in world went crazy and making less sense than it did before. Obama then realises what he did, changes his clothes to Mario's clothes and decides to go back in time to kill George Washington to get the world to its previous state.

## Gameplay

As there's only one gameplay video available, the gameplay can be described only by that. The player controls MariObama, who has only basic abilities, such as jumping. MariObama can also climb up the ladders. As in the gameplay video MariObama doesn't get any hit by enemies, it is unknown would he have small form, like in other Mario-like platformers. As MariObama goes through levels, many different power ups can be found, which give extra abilities and attack options. The player can also get Golden Teapots , which by collecting 100 of them, give extra life.

It is unknown how the player would traverse between levels, but there would be a world system, where the player would need to defeat the boss of the world to get to next one.

## Development history

The first idea of MariObama came on one of LeatherIceCream's streams, where the chat was coming up with combinations of names of games and Obama. One of these ideas was MariObama. Luz got the idea to actually make it the real game, and with help of Leather and Harvey Rothman, the team started working on game. First teasers of it were made right in next couple of days after the stream. The main idea behind the game was be pure insanity with no explanation to anything, such as coins being Golden Teapots.

As they went on, more game was teased, creating more attention to it. However, the game itself was just starting its actual development, as such causing more trouble later. After three years of development, Luz decides to leave the project, scrapping the project.

Years later, LeatherIceCream decides to do the game himself, thinking of refining the ideas of MariObama. But as it turns out, the ideas he had weren't enough for actual game and in total not being good enough for him. Then, paralelly thinking of Poor 4 game, he decides to place in role of MariObama Čeda, and with this he, MGZone and Harvey started the development of At Least There Is Čeda Čedović.
