Mario Clash: The Best Game is Still a Weaker Game
Mario Clash: The Best Game is Still a Weaker Game Mario Clash is a Virtual Boy game released in the year 1995.

None of these songs are bad, but compared to other Mario games and even other games at time of release, it seems a bit lacking in this department.Addictiveness: 5/10- "Average" This section is largely dependent upon the p...
