Yes, you can build a side-scrolling platformer with running, jumping and enemy stomping.
You can build an original platform game with touch controls, scrolling levels and enemies to stomp. Start with one short level and tune the jumps before adding more. Use your own characters, art and music rather than copying Mario.
The checker split your own version of Super Mario Bros. into its key parts and sorted each one.
Running and jumping
Vibecode can build touch controls, gravity and platforms, then help you tune how movement feels.

Written by the checker for a first version. Paste it into Vibecode as is, or change it to make the app yours.
Build a native iPhone side-scrolling platform game for people who enjoy classic run-and-jump games. Use an original little robot hero in a bright garden world, with teal, orange and soft green colors and simple playful shapes. The main screen should show the level, with left and right buttons at the bottom left and a jump button at the bottom right. Make the camera follow the hero. Create one short sample level with platforms, gaps and a clearly marked finish. Add walking bug enemies that the hero can stomp by landing on top. Side contact or falling should show a retry button, and reaching the finish should show a play again button. Use original placeholder art and realistic sample level content, not Mario assets.

Vibecode builds a first version from one prompt, and the checker would start with these parts: touch controls for running and jumping; one original scrolling level with platforms and a finish; walking enemies to stomp, with restart after losing. Plan on an afternoon for a working first version with its real features.
Vibecode's first build is free for new accounts that sign up with Google or Apple on the web or the iPhone app, as the account's first project: one build of about 10 minutes with up to 3 features, on sample data. After that you need credits, from a paid plan or auto-reload. For your own version of Super Mario Bros., the checker lists these costs: Vibecode Plus ($20 a month); Apple Developer Program ($99 a year).
The original gives people Nintendo's Mario characters, levels, artwork and music, not just similar running and jumping. A version you build yourself won't have these: official Mario characters; Nintendo's original level designs; original Mario artwork and music.
