When will piraters learn that their pirate games are never going to get any love or respect? But this pirate game I am reviewing right now is a huge exception, This is somari, a hack game where you play as Mario in sonic the hedgehog's universe, But did they developers do any good? Let's see.

Story-5/10
I don't really think there should be a story to this game considering It is a pirate, But here's my plot, Sonic and Mario are sucked into a time warp portal, thus causing them to switch worlds, Sonic in Mario, and Mario in sonic. So it is up to Mario to defeat robotnik and save Sonic's world from trouble.

Gameplay-6/10
In this pirate game, you take the role of Mario, as you run through all of the classic level in the first ever sonic game defeating enemies and doing whatever, The first problem I have this game is how many enemies appear on the screen at once, It will cause you to get hit alot of times, And second, the hit detection. Anyways each world has 3 levels each, 2 main platforming levels, and 1 boss fight, The boss fights are pretty easy, but nothing special. Another thing from sonic that this game does not have, the special stages, Usually in sonic 1, if you have a bunch of rings at the end of the stage, you can jump into a ring and play a bonus level, Well actually, there are bonus levels, but they are just the ones from the game gear version of Sonic 1! It's Ok though.

Graphics-7/10
This is one part the developers actually did good in! The graphics department, all of the worlds and levels that you will be exploring are big, nice, and bursting with color. As for the sprites, they look pretty good as well, Most of the enemies are taken directly from the first sonic game, but that is no problem, As for Mario's sprite, he looks the same as he looked in Mario 3, but with sonic's shoes on. The HUD is pretty self explanatory, It shows your score, Your amount of lives, and your amount of rings.

Sound-6/10
Another good job for the developers, the sound, All the songs in this game are also ripped directly from Sonic 1 as well, and for what It's worth, It is not that bad,  Except they can repetitive for a while. As for the sound effects, they are your typical stuff, you get beeps, bloops, booms, bams, etc.

Addictiveness-7/10
Is this a game I am going to play again? Um sure, why not? The game does have It's moments at times, such as the bosses, the special stages, etc. But If there is one thing I can't get over, It's how I beat only 2 times in my life That is not alot if you ask me..I have beaten Ratchet and clank up your arsenal 3 times! Now that is alot if you ask me.

Depth-6/10
"Sigh" This game sadly doesn't offer anything much after you beat, Not even the chaos emeralds from the special stages! When you beat special stages, all you get is Just a bunch of score bonuses. The game is 6 worlds long, So It will most likely take you about 2-3 hours to beat at least.

Difficulty-8/10
Oh man was this game hard! I remember getting stuck on the 3rd level for about a week! Worse is each level has so many enemies It makes It hard to even make it the end of the level with even 1 ring,  But if you're an expert, You shouldn't have much trouble with this one.

Overall-6.9/10
This one wasn't too bad! It just needs a few little tweaks then maybe It can become the greatest pirate ever, I gave this game a 6.9 because how much fun and challenge the game offers, So see you guys in my next review!
