== Development history == * The first beta (0.27) of what is now called Secret Maryo Chronicles was released in January 2003 under the name Super Mario Clone FX. This release featured characters, enemies and sounds ripped directly from Super Mario World, with a new game engine and original levels. * In version 0.4 (February 2003), an in-game level editor was added, making it possible to pause the game, edit the level, and then finish the level in its changed form. * In version 0.95, the name was changed to Secret Maryo Chronicles, and most of the sprites were replaced with original sprites of the same characters. Also many sounds were replaced. The removal of Nintendo assets was to avoid possible legal issues, as well as to make the game more unique, and therefore more marketable. * In version 0.98, many sprites were replaced with original characters, roughly based on Mario. * Version 1.0 was released in July 2007 and came with many new features including text boxes and level warps. Version 1.2 was released on October 18 2007. * In May 3rd, 2008, 1.5 was released. * September 27th, 2008 saw the release of 1.6. * Version 1.7 was released on December 25th, 2008. * Version 1.8 was released on April 8th, 2009. * Version 1.9 was released on 2009-08-17
