this is going to be a short and simple review

I havent played this game on the N64 but i played the remake version on the DS. the only difference between the 2 is the graphics and the fact that you can play as yoshi, mario, luigi and wario.

the aim of this game is to try and get all of the stars so you can move futher into the castle where bowser has princess peach.
this was the first 3d mario game and one ofthe best. if you jump on a koopa you can ride on its shell and it tries to chase after you. i always found that funny because its a naked turtle running after you and it is actually quite fast.

im not sure if this is in the original version but in the DS version you could play with other people and there would be about 5 stars around the map and you have to try and get them and the person with the most stars wins.
im probably going to get confuzzled with the original and the remake so i am going to just get on with the review.

Graphics: the graphics are very good, good enough for the first 3d mario game. i think nintendo worjed really hard on this because they not only had to re create characters in 3d but make new ones like the monkey that steals marios hat. i give the
graphics 8/10

Sound: the sound is sooo good. i loved the song when you are wing mario (when you have wings on your hat and you can fly). all the sound tracks we amazing. i give the sound 9/10
Addictiveness: this game is very addictive. i didnt stop trying to get all of the stars. it is such an amazing game that you just have to play it 24/7 which is why it is so addicting. i give the addictiveness 9/10

Story: i dont think there is much of a story to this game but it is better than the story for all of the super mario bros games. you cant really tell what the story is so i am just going to sort of make it up: bowser has stole the castles power and hidden the power stars in the paintings. the only way to get to him is to gather up the power stars. i give the story 7/10

Depth: this game is very long if you want to get every single power star. it is very long without getting all of them. i give the depth 9/10

Difficulty: the game it self itsnt difficult but searching for the power stars is very difficult. the bosses arent so hard either but to get them is. i give the difficulty 8/10

overall: overall this game is the best of its kind. the only other mario game that is just as good mario sunshine which is similar because you have to get star sprites. i reccomend this game to anyone and everyone. overall i give his epic mario game 9.1/10

i hope you enjoyed my review

Good work. This indeed is a great and highly addicting game. Nice job writing this one.
