mx0c/super-mario-python — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me a simple Super Mario style platformer in Python using pygame. I want it to run locally with a main file I can start from the terminal, and it should feel like classic Mario with side scrolling, jumping, running, blocks, enemies, coins or pickups, sound effects, sprites, and level files.

Please include keyboard controls for moving left and right, jumping with space, and a faster run or boost with shift. Use image and sound folders so the game assets are easy to swap later. It doesn’t need to be a perfect clone, but it should be playable and organized clearly with separate classes for the player, enemies, level logic, sprites, and common game behavior.

Also add a requirements file and short README with install and run steps. If there are existing pygame patterns or docs you need, look them up online. Keep the code simple enough that I can tweak levels and sprites later.
