Super Mario Legend is still one of the best fangame demos I've seen. Thanks for sharing the dev notes - those are always fun.
I haven't heard anything from Kyori since 2013 - that was the last time he posted anything on MFGG. I think he vanished from MW around the same time. As far as I'm aware, no one has heard from him in quite a few years.
I've lost track of Dex in recent years. Twitter was the only place where I heard from him, and his tweet stream has dried up. I bet he's doing well, though.
I don't remember all the details of the General saga, but I know he made lots and lots of dupe accounts in early 2010. Since The Split, he's appeared a few times on the forums, but as far as I'm aware he's always been a pretty normal person since then.
I've heard the "Char was really a different person" theory, but I've never seen any evidence to support this somewhat outlandish claim. As far as I'm aware, Char was always quite open about being from India. I'm also extremely skeptical that he joined MFGG when he was 9 years old. He was making relatively polished games and seemed quite knowledgeable about programming as soon as he joined the community in 2007. If the age given in his profile is accurate, he was 16 years old when he joined, which seems much more reasonable. I don't think Char ever shared his real name anywhere, but even if he did, and someone found him, it's worth remembering that in a nation of over 1.3 billion people, there's almost certainly a number of people who share his full name. But who knows. Char was a fun and extremely smart person, and I hope he's doing well. Chances are, he got busy with his studies and drifted away from the online world.

Course clear! You got a card.
