1) Special Message from the MMfan:

Thanks for downloading the demo for my planned greatest work. As you may know from visiting my website or TI World that this was the original game I intended for Marc the Superkid Quest. I'm rather proud that I finally became able to program this. If I get a lot of feedback or downloads for it I'll finish the demo. And if I get even better feedback I'll consider making Marc the Superkid Quest - True. This would be the first Marc the superkid Quest that I released (rpg battles, moving, etc.) plus this version. In other words, walk around and talk to people AND have the button combo battles that makes up this game. Well, I look forward to your comments & questions.

3) The Story So Far:

From the story entitled "The Superkid Chronicles: Robotnik Wars: MtSQuest":
 "...I remember it clearly," Marc the Superkid replied cooly. "How could I not? It was only yesterday that I began. It was only this morning that I fought MechAnna, then the Bonds in their Black Robotnik creation, and now, finally, I'm here in your chamber, reminicing."
 "Yes, I want to thank you for that," Robotnik replied. "The Bonds were becoming difficult to control and almost destroyed the planet, which is a task I wish to have all to myself."
 "You've become selfish, father."
 Robotnik shook his head and turned away. "Become? Ever since you were born I was selfish. You and your damned brother and sister. Do you know how many factories and plants I had to have rebuilt?"
 Scowling, Marc shot back, "Do you know how many lives you've taken away? Do you know how much pain you've caused? Do you care?"
 "I care more than you know!" Robotnik roared.
 "Only for yourself," Marc sighed, "Only for yourself."
 Marc walked around the room a little, looking over it's design. "You know, this place is kinda cozy, in a disturbing sort of way. But, it's so cold and emotionless. How did this come to be?"
 Robotnik sharply turned and looked at Marc with narrowed eyes. "You want to know?"
 Marc nodded.
 "Tell me your story first..."
 Seeing no harm in this, Marc cleared his throat and began...

5) Marc the Superkid's Arsenal:

In this game, you have combos that you enter with the arrow buttons. There are 3 in the demo PLUS a special Super Arts attack. Now, I'll make it somewhat of a challenge and not tell you what they are ^_^. However, I will tell you that only those buttons can be entered if you want to do the special. In other words, if Left, Left, Right, Left was for Tornado Flame, but you entered Left, Left, Right, Left, Right it wouldn't work (it's not either, so entering them won't give you a special attack :P ) . Also, you must have at least the stated amount of SP for the combo to work (it's stated in the Specials screen after you learn it ^_^). Currently, you can only gain SP by defending, but in the full version you will also gain SP by taking damage. Also, I'm planning on changing the buttons for the final release, so I wouldn't commit them to memory &_&.
