Oh boy, I have a lot to say about this one. This feels more like a ROM hack made by a high schooler than an actual game that Nintendo made. The levels may seem fine at first, but soon turn into torture, and half of the levels require a bunch of trial and error. There are even warp zones that take you back levels! Amazing level design! Also, World 9 is hilariously bad. The colors do not look good at all and 9-3 has no obstacles except for one jump and Bowser who you can easily skip by running on top of the ceiling. They have to be seen to be believed. Did I mention that you have to beat the game EIGHT TIMES to unlock worlds A through D? Everything in this game is specifically designed to either anger or depress you. At the end of the day though, it's still Mario and if you are a masochist, you will definitely enjoy this.
It's cool that Nintendo tried something wildly different, and this game's not that bad. However, it is very flawed. It has the same problem as the original in that it is almost impossible to beat this without a guide, and this game is already brutal enough. Also, it introduced NPC's you can talk to but their dialogue is extremely generic.
