"Best Sidescrolling game ever."

This is simply the best platforming game ever. Classic gaming at its best. Also in my opinion the best NES game, the best Mario Game, and the best game made by Shigeru Miyamoto. This is one game you'll surely, never, never forget.


Graphics - 9.5 nine and five tenths
Very good graphics considered its a NES game. I have yet to see any bit of slow down in this game. It has lots of colors and there are many different enemies, unlike the games that has 5 enemies in 20 different colors.

Story - 5.9 five and nine tenths
Same thing. Bowser kidnaps Princess, Mario saves Princess. Nothing new here.

Controls - 10 ten
Good controls. What I like about this game that stands out in the crowd of the other NES games is that this game doesnt feel that slugish when you play it. But other than that, its the usual, A jumps, B is the action button.

Gameplay - 10 ten
Apsolutely NO flaws in this game. It has everything you want in a game. Multiplayer, lots of levels (over 100 I believe), lots of bosses, and imemse amounts of fun. So many things to do, you can turn into many different things, such as a statue, frog, racoon, hammer bros, and many other things. Lots of multiplayer modes, such as a death math, a race to see who can collect the most coins, etc ett etc.

Replayability - 10 ten
So many things you can do in this game you'll be playing it for years.

Overall - 10 ten
PERFECT. Get this game now. If you can that is.
