Boll Deluxe is a crossover fan game with Mario and Sonic, in which you progress through Mario-styled levels as various Mario or Sonic characters (plus a couple of guests).
This game includes:
-12+ playable characters: Sonic, Super Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Mecha Sonic, Ashura, Mario, Luigi, Wario, Somari, The Kid, and Giana
-Multiplayer battle mode (featuring kneecapped FPS thanks to Gamemaker 8)

This game is still a beta, so expect a few issues here and there.

Where is New Engine Version?
Calling these download links "Old Version" is kind of misleading. It implies there's a better version out there somewhere. As of now 2.1.5.2 is the most recent release and the one you should play. The devs are currently working on creating a sequel in a new engine, which you can learn about on their discord.

Porfavor agan una version para android plis:(
I hope Boll Deluxe 2 is More Sonic-leaning, with more Badniks, loop-de-loops and robotnik bossfights
Looks cool. Saw this on youtube. Going to try it now on my AYN Thor. Would love to see multiplayer like Super Mario World and New Super Mario Bros Wii.
Edit: I can't play it. Needs an android .apk release.
It will be available for mobile
no :(
(just kidding, i don't know lol)
I've tested this game on Linux Mint (via WINE) and it works great on there, except for the gamepad in which I have to set manually since the analogue likes to drift upwards.
And for those wondering, yes. You do need to install DirectX 9 in order for this game to work on WINE as well.
Please make a mobile port pls, I don’t have a pc or a laptop, pls make a mobile port pls
i love that this game doesnt support multiplayer. because its MADE for multiplayer
I want this to work so bad because it looks great.
But it is extremely slow and stops working after trying to load in the first level. EDIT: Enabling FSR and setting it to 5 made the level load, but it's still super slow. Not sure why that is. The sounds and music runs at normal speed, so speeding up the game would make it sound bad. Version 2.1.5.2 btw. EDIT 2: Version 2.1.4 works just fine.
you might need to install DirectX9, a mistake we made with the newer versions was not bundling it with the install, but you can install this DLL here and slap it into the game files with the other dlls.
No. It's a limitation with the game engine. The old engine is trying to do too much stuff, I think. But seeing as you guys are rebuilding the game, I guess it doesn't matter much.
im guessing no mac os version...that sucks
the game wont load up
THANKSSSSSS
It dosent work
OOOoohh i LOVE boll deluxe i LOVE boll deluxe i LOVE boll deluxe i LOVE boll deluxe i LOVE boll deluxe YAAAAAAAAYY!!!!
Old engine? What's the new engine and where is it?
top
Top? You mean the very first download link? Yeah it says "Boll Deluxe 2.1.5.2 Old Engine.zip (Latest)"
...Old Engine
2.1.5.2?
also it's me, MarioBTGFan, can you unban me? I switched accounts so it may be impossible.
someone made this and didn't credit you
Hey
?
id
I DONT GET IT
I meant to say "idk" but the k got missed
how do i link pipes to other pipes in other regions in the melon- i mean lemon editor
wait has anyone realized that the special stages are just glorified super monkey balls
so what I'm saying is that you can technically use BDX to make a super monkey ball fangame
If my character were to have custom colors, how to add it in
idk
DirectX9
What are the spray cans for?
Is 2.1.5 here a joke?
question: will the recode give sonic back his peel-out?
Why would you not change the cards if the sprites were changed?
I wish I can download this
you can just download the versions
Hey, do you mind if I use your levels for a level pack in Super Mario Multiverse
i don't think they would really care so Go ahead
What's up with that reference to the world -1 of Super Mario Bros?
Actually it's world 37-1 but they didn't have space for the 37 so they decided to remove the left number lol
I am legit going to check every day for 2.1.5 after seeing the official trailer on the Boll Team Discord
glooby
boil deluxe
I love this game but I feel like an idiot for commenting on this because I look like a bot but I’m not I just don’t know what to say about this game and now I realized that I wrote this testing my writing speed because it’s been a while since I’ve used the computer after all it had burned out but now it’s back and I love this game
where is 2.0.1, 2.0.2, 2.0.3, 2.0.4, 2.0.7, 2.0.8 and 2.0.9 it feels weird to not have them
2.0.1 and 2.0.7 exist in the version archive. the others don't
Will boll deluxe get optimized at some point?
lemon has been optimized in the next update
Will there be a Mac port eventually? I really want to play this!
try using winehq
I am using Wine, I just prefer running natively /:
Same
When i open it, it gives me an error, then closes with the message Unexpected error when trying to run the game. why does it do that
dose anyone have a 100% save for 2.1.4?
i've seen gameplay of this on youtube but i really wish this was playable on browser so i can play it bc i cant download exe games
wdym? you cant find the exe file? (just dawload it and see if there is the app tag on the file, but if thats not it i cant help you much more).
no im on chromebook and i cant open the exe files
how to make skins
Virustotal says it has a trojan and virus, when I tried to open the game an error came out and it closed...
what was the error
It might be the anti-virus thats at fault. since a lot of them create false positives at times.
