SMBZ-DS is a DS recreation of a one-on-one fighting game made by Zethros, named SMBZ-G, both of which are fangames of the Super Mario Bros. Z animated Flash series from Newgrounds by Alvin-Earthworm.
This remake also has some unique features such as MP3 playback and was made using the author's own fork of MicroLua DS.

Known issues

- Slight FPS drops on the new stage.
Changelog
v0.3
- New stage: yoshi_forest_reboot (Episode 2 of the SMBZ reboot, Yoshi VS Metallix).
- Added a distance limit between the two players (can't go too far away from other player).
- Fixed "No slots left" crash error (or crash to MicroLua's file explorer) when the game loads the main menu after a fight between two same characters finishes.
- Added a custom crash screen so the game doesn't go straight away to the file explorer.
- Added "Set fighter X to char" loading screens.
- Optimized FPS in the underground stage.
- Lots of Lua optimizations in the underlying code to try and boost FPS:.
- All separate BGs in a stage are now put in a single MicroLua canvas object instead of having their own canvas object.
- A lot of local variables.
- stage.lua definitions make more use of table indexes as numbers instead of string indexes (they're faster).
v0.2
- New stage: doomship_outside (from Episode 8, when the plane is nearing Bowser's Doomship).
- You can no longer attack during the initial Ready countdown.
- Made attack input more responsive for pressing repeatedly or right before countdown ends.
- Fixed bug where player would still have guarding sprite frame when hurt.
- Nerfed CPU player difficulty (added delay before attacking, no more spamming).
- Added from SMBZ-G: Player that connects a hit is drawn to the front, and the victim is drawn to the back.
- Fixed a tiny pixel in Mario's hurt sprite.
- Fixed Mario's "Hammer Meteor Smash" move (Z air) to be un-guardable (the AI was reacting to it being un-guardable even though it wasn't).
- Fixed some spritesheet issues on Sonic's spindash and bounce animations.
- Fixed some frame drops and the aforementioned random crashes (as it turns out, it was the custom WAV player I implemented).
- Also added the "uLibrary" dependency for compiling the source code.
