"A return to 2-D greatness"
Pros: Vivid, colorful graphics and unbeatable control
Cons: Save system is a little unusual.
Summary: I have never been a Super Mario fan. I played all previous games more out of obligation than actual appreciation for the series. The last Mario game I really played was Mario64 and I had a lot of fun with that title, but I was never really into the side-scrolling games.
For whatever reason, I purchased this game. I am very glad I did. There is just the right amount of challenge depending on what mood you are in. You can basically breeze through the levels(more or less) and still have a good time doing so, or you can really commit yourself to the hard task of locating all the hidden areas and finding a way to reach all the stars scattered throughout the worlds. The graphics are bright and colorful and the game is just fun to look at. The sound is perfect and the level design is nothing short of brilliant. I particularly enjoyed some of the forced-scrolling levels that required you to out pace a rising flow of lava. Talk about sphincter clenching!
Overall, this is a great game. I have a refound interest in the Mario franchise. Get it!
