DMCA's Sky (formerly known as No Mario's Sky) is a fangame created by ASMB games.

The game combines the gameplay mechanics of Super Mario Bros. and No Man's Sky.[1][2][3]

Development

On August 2016, after the release of No Man's Sky, No Mario's Sky was created by ASMB Games, a team based in Australia, for Ludum Dare 36 in 72 hours.[1][4] The team consisted of Alex McDonald (art and sound director),[5] Sam Izzo, Max Cahill, and Ben Porter.[5][6]

DMCA Removal and Re-release

Although No Mario's Sky was well-received, Nintendo sent a Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) notice to Itch.io on 4 September 2016, requesting that No Mario's Sky be removed.[7] In response, the official page for No Mario's Sky was updated to indicate that the game was no longer available for download due to the DMCA notice. On 5 September 2016, the game was re-released under the title DMCA's Sky, with all references to Super Mario Bros. removed.[4][8]
