Something I am obligated to state at the beginning of any Picross game I ever review, is that I am very, very, VERY, bias. I love Picross puzzles to death and THIS GAME FROM 1995, does the puzzles, aesthetics, and difficulty progression better then a lot of the more recent games in its genre. The issue that I have with it however, is in the fact that it doesn't really feel as if this is "Mario's" Picross; instead being simply a very good "Anyone's" Picross. As in, I would have been happier if the puzzles where more related to the Mario IP, such as characters or items from Mario games showing up as solutions to the puzzles. Because as it is, this is really just a generic picross game, with the side note that YOU are playing as Mario, a fact that is easy to forget. Regardless however, this is still a very well made Picross game, and great for individuals like me looking for more puzzles to quell the addiction.
