Old Versions

Hello Mario Engine Legacy

GMK source for GameMaker 8.x. The legacy version is inferior to the Studio version, is no longer being updated, and requires the paid version of GameMaker 8.x. If you want the optimal Hello Mario Engine experience, or a version that can be used for free, use the Studio version instead.

Getting Started

So you downloaded a GMZ source file. Now what? Here are some step by step instructions.

Download

Download a copy of GameMaker: Studio, and a copy of the Hello Mario Engine Source.

Upgrade

If you haven't already done so, upgrade your copy of Studio to the Standard version. This requires that you fill in your email address from within the program, and then, input the license key that you receive in order to upgrade your copy of Studio for free. Optionally, you can purchase the Professional or Master Collection versions of the software, but you don't need those to use the Hello Mario Engine.

Import

Once you have your upgraded copy of Studio, after you start it up, you will see an import tab. Click on it, and import the HelloMarioEngine.gmz file that you downloaded.
