Hotel Mario is a game for the Philips CDI. The console is very rare to find nowadays since it had such low sales. I remember playing this on the CDI.


STORY:
The game starts off with popular characters Mario and Luigi walking around a park, going to the princesses picnic. The voice actors didnt do well, but I liked luigis voice. Bowser is seen before they walk through the arch, with a unsettling laugh, for luigi, anyway. They cant seem to find the princess. They see a building with a note, that says something like ''Dear pesky plumbers, the koopalings and I have taken over the mushroom kingdom!'' and stuff like that. They go through seven hotels, which peach comes out of alot of, but gets herself lost again and again and again.. Personally a 7 for me.


GRAPHICS:
The graphics arent as good, but again, this game was released in 1994. This game has the best graphics of its console, in my opinion. This gets a 7.


DEPTH: This is just like any mario game, but with a twist, of course theres boss battles, saving peach and all that, but this game included something other than getting to a flag pole, and this mechanic i absolutely despised: the mechanic was to just close doors. Yes, you heard me, all you did was close doors. The cutscenes were nice though, and I like the secret ones. ''You know what they say, all toasters toast toast! This gets a 6.


DIFFICULTY:
This game was pretty easy for me, so it just simply gets a 5.


ADDICTIVENESS:
I honestly loved almost everything about this game except for how boring that gameplay was. You avoided foes and closed doors. Isnt that pretty much it? This gets a simple 3.


SOUND:
I personally loved the sounds and music in this game. Especially the music. Have you even heard the music of the last part of the first cutscene? This gets an easy 8.


OVERALL:
This game is not as good, but is much better than everyone says it is. And I personally find those youtube videos hillarious. This is one of my favorite mario games and it deserves an 8. I want to give you some quotes from the game before this review ends (the ones that I like the most)

''If you need instructions on how to get through the hotel, check out the enclosed instruction book''
''I hope she made lotsa spaghetti!''
''Hey you! Get offa my cloud!''


People always tell me this is the worst mario game. It isnt.

*cough* mario is missing *cough*


Well, thanks for checking out this review and please give feedback.

Jirachistar358 : Dont get me wrong but hotel mario is one of the worst games i have ever played if i had a top 10 worst games i put hotal mario on number 5

Jirachistar358 : never heard of this game or the console. But never the less it sounds pretty good. It's amazing how many consoles came out threw the late80- 90. Any way nice review short but to the point.

You should. It isnt as bad as everyone says it is. Even though the levels are centered around closing doors (which is lame), everything else is pretty good. The only problems were the fact the controller had only 2 buttons excluding the + that makes you move.
