Super Mario Bros. DX Game by Nintendo Review by BigBadBar kummel@erols.com Size is 8 megabits Save by battery Released spring 1999 Works with Gameboy Printer and Gameboy Color ONLY **************************************************************************** Opening Side Remarks: Call me a videogame sinner, but I never played the original Mario Bros. I liked Alex Kidd much better. Actually, I never thought for one second that NES was better than Master System. But now people say this game is very cool and I bought it. So I will look at this the way it is today, not for the nostalgia **************************************************************************** Gameplay Description: It's Mario people, and now he is.... the same. It's a mario game, wether you agree or not, it is VERY frustrating. I mean, the first 7 worlds are so easy and the last one is so challenging, I almost threw my gameboy across the room. The last level is hard as heck and the seventh one is so easy! Bowser is way too easy. I hate these people who give this game 5stars on every category just because of their memories. That's why there is Personal opinion for! There are a crapload of extras, some are lame and some are cool. I mean, why do you need Fortune telling for? I like the calendar, the printing options rule! I will get a printer as soon as I can. Liked: A crapload of extras. Hated: Unbalanced gameplay, Bowser is way too easy. **************************************************************************** Graphics Description: The graphics are great. They are detailed and movements seem so natural. Not a work of art, but I understand why. They wanted the original graphics, so people can relate to. Liked: Everything Hated: Nothing **************************************************************************** Sound Description: Sound effects and songs are great. Liked: ***** Hated: nothing **************************************************************************** Play Control/ Game design: Excellent work. If it wasn't for the frustrating do or die kind of gameplay, this would be perfect. Great control. Liked: Everything. Hated: Nothing **************************************************************************** Improve: More levels, more mushrooms ( or flowers) to collect RIYL: Super Mario World (SNES) **************************************************************************** Final words: You will disagree with me if you had the NES version of it, but I didn't so I really can't give this game a higher score because of its unbalanced 8th world and easy bowsers. That's my opinion, and if you disagree, don't e-mail me. **************************************************************************** Score Gameplay: **** Graphics: **** Sound/Music: ***** Play Control/Game Design: ***** Personal Opinion: **** Total: 22 out of 25 Final Score: 88% Words of Wisdom (BigBadBar reviews exclusive): Great **************************************************************************** Currently Know codes: You shouldn't cheat you know?
