Mario is Missing!

"WTF was Nintendo thinking?"

WTF is this? I have no idea what Nintendo was thinking when they released this piece of pure garbage. Nintendo obviously spent 10 minutes at the most to make this pathetic excuse for a video game.

Storyline: 0/10
Yep. That's right. A big fat ZERO is exactly when the story deserves. You start out as Luigi, and have to save Mario from Bowser. But Nintendo decided to put an educational twist to the game. Bowsers minions have stolen things around the world, so you travel around the world and take back everything they've stolen, and each time you've recovered the stolen item you learn about it. Can you say L A M E?

Graphics: 0/10
Can't say much, other than they suck. I've seen MUCH better on the SNES.

Gameplay: 0/10
Two words: BOR-RING! The gameplay sucks so bad, you cant even get hurt or die, or do anything fun. You just walk around jumping on Koopa's or going down tubes. You can't even run into them, the only way you can touch them is jumping on them. Then you take the stolen item from the Koopa and turn it into a certain booth, where your asked 3 trivia questions, and you have to get them right or they wont except the stolen item(WTF?!). After you've done this 4 or 5 times, you encounter a boss that wont even kill you and it only takes 1 hit to kill him. Repeat all of the above and then encounter Bowser who doesn't even put up a fight, he just gets catapulted into the snow somewhere.

Sound/Music: 0/10
Jumping on Koopa's sounds like closing a box.. and going down tubes doesn't sound at all like the normal sounds from every Mario games. The music sounds like my pet hamster regurgitating food. It's pathetic. Make sure your T.V. has volume control, you'll need it.

Replay: 0/10
No replay value at all. I'm not sure why anyone would want to play this game. It's about as fun as eating stale chips. I wouldn't replay this if my life depended on it.

Other uses: 10/10
This is great for throwing around when your mad. I do all the time!

Overall: 1/10
It doesn't deserve a 1. It deserves to be in the negatives it sucks so bad. Maybe if your 6 years old you'd enjoy this game. I wouldn't suggest buying or renting this pitiful excuse for a Mario game. Doing your homework is funner than playing this piece of trash.
