THE GOOD:Highly detailed and colorful graphics
Heavenly level-design
Flawless play-control
Many huge levels
Several great mini-games
THE BAD:
Mario Brothers should not have been included
SUMMARY:
Graphics: Stunning, stunning stuff, not only is it incredibly colorful, highly detailed, contains great animation, great-looking bosses and even a nice 3D effect at some levels, but is also got extreme variation between the different worlds. Some tiny bit of slowdown at times
Sound: Great and solid sound-effects, nice Yoshi noises, baby Mario's crying is less annoying than in the SNES version, and the music is really good as well. Why can't all 2D platformers have such good music?
Gameplay: Superb control of Yoshi, tons of huge, varied, and extremely well-designed levels containing lots of different challenges, brilliant boss-battles and fun mini-games. Each level is a little masterpiece of its own. Perfect difficult-level as well, topping off the stunning gameplay
Lifespan: 48 standard levels, 12 secret ones, tons of extra's in each level, fun mini-games to replay, the original Mario Brothers is also in this cartridge. Lots of replay-value as well.
Overall: The best 2D platformer ever, this is a must-buy for all GBA owners, and they all should buy it as soon as humanly possible!
