a game sort of like Mario is what I'm aiming for

That is so vague. There are so many 'Mario' games out there that I can only guess what you mean. When I think of the words tile and Mario together, I think of SMB for the NES, is that what you mean?

in that case, pick up any of the miriad books dealing with writing games (skipping any that talks about "3D" of course) as almost every single one of them will contain examples leading to something similar (though of course more limited in scope because there's only so much you can do in a few hundred pages).
