Build Mario With JavaScript & Kaboom JS Part 1

Using the Kaboom JS framework is a great and fun way to build interactive games with JavaScript and it makes things a whole lot easier and faster.

In this tutorial we will build a watered down and basic version of Mario! Mario was the biggest platforming game in the world for a long time and had a huge impact on the industry in general. The tutorial is done largely in a copy and paste style from the original tutorial so we will save a lot of time with the build in this way and learn a whole lot more!

You will learn:
-custom components in kaboom JS
-basic concepts of 2d platform game development
-how to build a level, control mario, kill enemies and collect powerups!

We will be using the online IDE Replit for this so thank you to them for sponsoring this video. Check them out at
