As the very first handheld Mario game, it does a pretty decent job at bringing the classic gameplay onto a simple Game Boy. Sure, it may not be the most jam-packed entry in the series, and it is very weird, but it still provides a decent amount of fun for the most part.

The story is... well, what do you think?, the gameplay is fun enough, the controls are fine except for your momentum, which makes you go from 0 to 100 in a split second, the music is simple yet catchy, the variety in gameplay, while there isn't much, is nice to see, the boss fights are incredibly easy, and speaking of easy, this game is VERY easy once you get a hang of it.

Out of all of this though, my one big complaint about this game is that it is WAY too short. It only has 4 worlds with 4 levels a piece, and you can beat every single one in about 30 minutes if you are good enough. I know it is a very early Game Boy game, so I can't complain about this too much, but it is still a bummer.

Overall, it is a neat little time waste, and there are definitely worse options in terms of platformers on the Game Boy.

Oh yeah, this game also introduced Daisy. That's also pretty cool.
