MARIO is not a game meant to be played, but to be experienced. This game is based on a creepypasta which is an Internet urban legend or campfire story. Before playing the game, you need to hear the whole story to know what it is about found here.

The game's graphics add to the creepy atmosphere, but not by much. There are pallet swapped backgrounds, items that don't work, black backgrounds, and parts that make you think Mario will die. The graphics serve their purpose, but don't live up to other creepypasta games like Ben Drowned or Lost Silver.

The sound does a better job adding to the atmosphere. There are distortions in the music and they are more appreciated playing the game for myself than watching a play through on Youtube. I was actually somewhat impressed with the music this game had to offer.

This game is, unfortunately, very easy and short. There are no enemies and the one level you can die from falling off the edge has artificial difficulty in it. I won't explain why as that will spoil part of the game, but the artificial difficulty isn't even that much of a challenge after screwing it up once. It will take no more than 15 minutes to complete and when I did, I just moved on. Some may want to play another round to see if they missed any hidden messages, but there isn't enough content to do that more than once.

Overall, this game serves it purpose, no more and no less. It makes you think "what is going on?" and that is what it's supposed to do. It could have been better, but at least it's 15 minutes of entertainment for the curious.

Well..your review needs some work. I know you tried your best to make a good review. Its needs a little more info though. But overall good job.
