Since this is a Gameboy launch title, it's not like I could expect that much, but I still think this game could've been better. It's fairly linear and extremely short, so there's not much replay value. There's a top score counter on the title screen, but that resets when you turn the game off, so it's pretty useless.
For the most part, the game is similar to SMB1, but it also has some spaceship/submarine levels (Including the final boss). I get annoyed by this kind of variety in general, but especially so for a game like this, which is extremely short.
Probably the best part of the game is the soundtrack, which is pretty good. Nintendo should pull more songs from the Mario Land series. Visually, the game sure is a Gameboy launch title. Each level does have a little bit of background and decoration, but not that much.
I really don't know what else to say. Maybe if the game was a little more unique, more replayable, or better thought out I would give it a higher score, but I can't really go higher than a 5/10 for this one. Still, this can be beaten in under an hour, so I'd recommend it to those who like 2D Mario.
