I love this game, I used to have it on Nintendo so I was pretty happy when I found it on vizzed. True to the original Mario style its composed of levels, with each level area ending in a boss and a somewhat cheesy but amusing cut scene.

You can get power ups in the form of the flight cape, the fire flower and the growth mushroom which can all allow you to finish the level in a different way. You can also find yoshi in some levels, which is always useful. He can eat most of the enemies so if you get him it becomes significantly easier. A classic game and lots of fun, well worth a play.


Graphics wise its actually pretty decent. I mean, ok, it's only got one dimension, and the backdrop is essentially a repeating picture but its an old game. And I've never experienced any graphical glitches either so consistency is high here.

Addictiveness is high too, the only reason I stopped playing is I have no clue how to advance now =(

Story and depth, I'm really not sure wheat's going on. You battle through a few levels and then reach a boss. After an epic battle that usually consists of jumping on them (what the?) you get the little cut scene of Mario running into the castle, carrying out an egg, then destroying the castle in a random manner. So fairly repetitive story but hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it I guess.

The sounds not bad, you actually get different tracks based on the level/location which s kinda cool. You also get a fairly annoying sound every time you jump, use a pipe, jump on something, eat an enemy with yoshi etc but its kinda funny so that's good too.

Classic game, great fun, lots to do, play it, you wont regret it I'm sure.

Pretty quick, but it at least sums up the best aspects of the game. Maybe, just maybe I can gain enough willpower to finish this game.

vizwiz123 : i got stuck after i did one of the levels and it took me back to one id already done, plus im not a diehard mario fan so i dont know half the names of stuff
i know there are boos and bob oms (i think thats there name) but im lost with little piranaha fish things, caterpillar type things and those flying shell things, lol, it woulda sounded great if i put that in the review.

Its good, Its quick and to the point, I always get stuck on one level i cannot remember what it is though

This game is one of my favorite it is what got me into gaming itself today I actually still own this game on the SNES and on the Virtual Console and play it quite often.
