Hello and welcome to my review on Mario Jump. Seems to me that this is a game where you can jump as high as you want. But there are a few risks if you want to jump as high as possible. I will mention about them later on. This is Mario Jump for the NES System.

Story 5/10

Despite what the featured review of Mario Jump says about the story line of this game, this game does have a story line. But it is the same old same old. So there isn't much else to talk about in the story section. Bowser has kidnapped your Princess, Luigi doesn't feature in this story even if you try to use two player mode. Hence the name of the game, Mario Jump. 

Gameplay 7/10

The controls for this game is the same for nearly any Mario NES game. Except in this one there is a slight difference. You can hold down the jump button (which is x in this game) and the longer you hold the x button down the higher you jump. There is a glitch where if you jump high enough the timer can either heavily slow down or completely stop. This means you have jumped to high. But you only need to hold down the x button for a short amount of time in this game. Also some of the levels in the game are slightly different. Like 1-1, the first level. You can get to the -1 world in this game without even needing to glitch at all.


Graphics 8/10

The graphics in this game is basically the graphics from the original Super Mario Bros. As this is a really vanilla hack all the levels are basically the same as the original Super Mario Bros. Before the graphics overhaul they had when they made Super Mario Bros All-Stars (which was a graphics update basically.)

Sound 8/10

The sound in this game is basically the same sound from super mario bros so there isn't much else to talk about in the sound section.

Addictiveness 10/10

This game has lots of secrets that are just waiting for you to discover because of how high you can jump on 1-2 you can look like you are wall jumping at the start and you can use the secret jumping hack I mentioned about (even though it isn't much of a secret or a hack.) to go to world -1 as well as finding other cool things as well. Hey, you might come across the secret warp area in the cave level of 4-2 if you jump high enough. The sky is the limit in this game. You will also be able to solve the mystery of what is on the other side of the flag for yourself. I will not spoil it for you. Some people like me have played this for hours of end and enjoy every minute of it.

Depth 7/10

With all the bugs and glitches you can discover in this game I bet you will be playing this game for hours on end. The part of this game that will take the longest is how to get to -1 and go beyond that. I have gotten to -1 but I haven't been able to see a way to get to -2 without editing the ROM.

Difficulty 7/10

I have to rate the difficulty in this game a 7 out of 10 because of the fact that the real and ever present danger of this game isn't the enemies itself. Its the fact you can glitch and crash the game. You can also jump too high as well. You can't moon jump over the hammer bros, can't use the fire thrower or else the game will just crash. I have tested this and the game will crash. There is also another 1-up glitch by jumping on goombas. Figuring out whether you have to land on the goomba from a high or a normal jump distance is the other question.

Overall 8.4/10

I strongly suggest you play this game sometime in your life or your stay on here. Trust me about this, the truth is if you play this game you will not regret it at all. I've played this good and enjoyable games for a few hours now and I'm still loving every minute of it.
