HootPoopsOnMario

HootPoopsOnMario is a website-based game to help young viewers learn and understand the problems that our environment faces and how we can help make our environment better. Each chapter has it's own unique plot line which follows the adventure of Mario, Princess Peach, and Rosalina as they travel across many places to reach their home, the Mushroom Kingdom. These classic and well-known characters from the beloved games of Nintendo attracts viewers to see what is next for their favorite mascots. Along with our favorite game characters, we have created a website game to keep young viewers engaged in learning to keep up with the attention of younger audience.

This game was designed to be user and age friendly to allow young viewers get a head start in learning what is good and bad for the environment, the causes and effects of what we add to our environment, and what we can and cannot do to help in those situations. With the help our friendly explanations for each possible answer choice, we envision our player learning something new with each stage. To give players the incentive to play and learn, we have designed a program where for every three stages that the player completes, a tree will be planted in New York. This game is their opportunity to start making a change in bettering our environment by starting today.

  • Our ideas were very complex and but with the limited time, we had to change some functions as we seen fit
  • We went through multiple trial and errors to format pictures, collages, and text
  • It took multiple tries to ensure that the site was running as programmed
