It depends on what you want your engine to do. If you want an engine that lets you make a Mario game without needing to program anything, Gatete's engine lets you do just that. This engine includes Mario's mechanics, power-ups, enemies, commonly-used platforms and obstacles, and everything else you need to get started.
However, if you want an engine that includes the basic functionality of a Mario game and guides you how to use GM 8, I still think Dazzle's engine is the best at that.
GM 8 is now almost a decade old, and if you're getting started with game-making, I'd think about using GM Studio 1.4 or 2. However, if you prefer GM 8, I totally understand - I still do most of my programming in GM 8.0.

Thanks alot for the advice
. When I can get the time, I'll try out those engines you recommended. I only have Game Maker 8 at the moment since its the only program I was able to get my hand on. My friend gave it to me a while ago. I do plan on using a bunch of other programs for my gaming career however if I ever do reach that point.
