Lastability: 8/10. This lasts quite a while. Even though it's watered down from the NES original, this will still take some time to beat because the difficulty is still at a decently challenging level, which is good in a game. Trying to get all the Ace Coins in the game will take some time too. Those buggers are quite hard to find. Graphics: 10/10. Completely ripped from the Super Mario All Stars remake of this game, but that's not exactly a bad thing, isn't it? Sound: 10/10. A catchy soundtrack that never gets old + 16-bit enhancement + cool sounding sound effects = sheer awesomess. Even the NES original has this. Gameplay: 7/10. Sidescrolling gameplay. You walk around levels left or right, but you can't jump on enemies to kill them. Instead you have to throw veggies at them. Just another excuse for kids not to eat their vegetables. The game gets quite difficult at parts, but trust me, the NES original was more frustrating. Nonetheless, this game...
THE GOOD: This is almost exactly like the original game, but I'm able to get a lot farther in it. I like how you can choose between four different characters. Yay for Toad!
THE BAD: The sound effect things are so annoying. All the characters have to make horrible little sounds whenever they do anything. Why? Why must they tamper with things that are already good? Why cruel world, why? *cowers in a dark corner of the room*
SUMMARY: I like the music in this game, but I can't turn up the volume, or else I'll hear those horrible characters make horrible sounds. Oh, such horrible sounds they were. So horrible, like the invention of...um...tight pants! Yes! Tight pants are horrible! I know most of this review is going to be used up explaining those character's noises, but it's not worth getting the game because of it. I'd rather listen to the badger, badger, mushroom, mushroom song for ten days straight rather than hear, for example,...
THE GOOD: The different characters had different strengths and weaknesses Good boss design, which took more than just button bashing to beat
THE BAD: Some parts of the game were too easy
SUMMARY: This was one of the first Mario games I'd played in years because I've never owned a Nintendo console. I was a Sega person when I was younger and after that I swapped to Sony. So any Nintendo games I play are rare nowadays. My brother got this for the Game Boy though and I played it and found the game to be very enjoyable.
You can pick to play as Mario, Luigi, Toad or Princess Peach. Each character has different statistics, which do make a difference in the game. Mario is well rounded (in more ways than one), Luigi has a high jump ability at the expense of others, Toad is very powerful but can't jump that high and Peach is low on all stats but can float down when she jumps allowing her to travel further in the air. I personally played the...
SUMMARY: This...game...is.......great!
If your a Mario fan and if you don't have this game, and even if your not a mario fan, you are missing out! This game was brought back from the past and was made into a new game with whole new features you and your friends are sure to enjoy!
So, if you got the need for some action and if your bored, try buying this game, and you'll be glad you did!

THE GOOD: Well the good thing about this is that you get to play 4 players and i liekt eh characters selection for each level. Also i like how they made the bosses.
THE BAD: The bad was that the graphics were poor and it need better stuff in it.
SUMMARY: Anyways i like how the made the old one it had better graphics then this one has and it was a very fun game and still is.
I find this game fun to but sometimes i don't. I wish that it had better handling with the characters.
Well i found looks of stuff good about this game like how the levels look in the game and how hard the make it just like in the orginal version.
Anyways i would have to say i give it a three out of a five cause of lack of graphics. Even though it had great characters and how they made the levels and bosses.
THE GOOD: A perfect remidition of the NES classic and more.
THE BAD: To the new player:Nothing Bad. To the veteran player:Very few new things.
SUMMARY: Mario and his friends go into a parrelell world that is in danger by the evil wart. It is up to Mario and his friends to stop him. Join Mario and his friends as they go up against wart's army by picking up and using vegetables as lethal weapons. Also you can link up with a freind with a Game Boy advance link cable in the other arcade classic Mario Bros.
THE GOOD: The fun gameplay, the great graphics, multi-player, its mario! What else could you ask for?
THE BAD: Too easy...
SUMMARY: I found this to be one of the better game boy games out there. It had 2 modes to choose from - multi-player and single player mode which is the same mode as the first mario game that was released on the SNES back in the early 90's. It was a fairly long game with lots of challenges that will keep you guessing. But overall, it had a lot of easyness to the game. Its obviously aimed toward a younger audience which is why I assume its a bit easy. But, its still a great game and should be fun for gamers of all ages.
SUMMARY: By now everyone knows what makes a Mario game good, and what makes it bad, the guy has been around for nearly 20 years now. This game is pretty fun, but it's not really anything new. It's NEW, in the sense that it's a revamped version of the Super Mario Bros 2 on the NES (which was awful), but then again, it's very similar to the version made for the "Super Mario All-stars" compilation for the SNES.
But, good graphics (for a handheld console), that classic Mario tune, (you know the one I mean) and ridiculously oversized enemies make this game worth a few hours of play at least.
