prolouge: well after 20 years we finally get a side scroller at first i diden,t want to buy this game as heck all mario games that are side scrollers are just jumping and getting power ups but i decided it might be fun well what do i think? read on to find out...
GAMEPLAY: 9/10
this game is fairly simple you go around 8 worlds collecting coins and jumping on enemys and trying to beat all the secret levels also the bosses are fun to fight this game dosen,t really have any touch screen features except useing items but it plays a large role in mini games which are addicting and fun the gameplay isen,t as fun as super mario bros 3 per say but still almost perfect
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ _____
STORY: 1/10
well mario games arent known for there storys but the point is WHY not have a story for a mario game? just because it,s has been the same thing for over 20 years dosen,t mean we don,t deserve something new the story is about princess peach getting captured by bowser....so all in all the story is just the same
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________
GRAPHICS: 6.9/10
although some of the graphics are nice it can be a bit blurry like marios face for example all in all the graphics are ok there is lots of nice colors ect, not very dull in colors but kind of blurry was my main gripe
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________
CONTROLS: 9/10
the controls for the game are superb everything works nice the only gripe i had was the y and b or x and a combo to run why couldent an auto dash option be inabled to turn on and off? anyway the controls are pretty standard everything is smooth like i said and easy to use all in all the controls are easy.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________
SOUND: 5/10
ugh the sound in this game is just scratchy and repetitive i just did not enjoy the music and sound in this game the only thing they got right was luigi and mario,s voices.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________
UNLOCKABLES: 1.9/10
yikes well anyway the game just does not have much to unlock you can unlock the option of saving after you beat the game nothing else i think even HAVING to unlock luigi would have been better.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________
REPLAY VALUE: 9.9/10 this game is fun through the first playthrough and the second playthrough is just as fun it really is and if you missed any hidden paths you can go at those or mabey collect all of the golden coins from each level the only thing that would have been nice is if it mabey had a couple more worlds to unlock.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________
DIFFICULTY: 2/10
the game just is not that hard even the final bos proves little challenge the only thing you may have difficulty is trying to find all the gold coins.
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ __________
RENT OR BUY?: well if you have mario bros 3 or super mario world there really is no point in buying the same thing but in general :buy i guess this game is good to have in your collection when you get bored as it supplys lots of fun
__________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ ___________
FINAL SCORE: 6.9/10
this game is just to medicore i know it is suppose to be a fun side scroller but it really dident offer anything new this game is not bad but it,s not good either anyway if you want a good mario game get mario64 ds instead.
