I had no idea so many aspects of the franchise date back all the way to this game. Really impressive for an NES game. Controls were unresponsive at times but that's about it

emily is unlikable. the little drive i had to try and win her over was completely shattered when i found out there isn't even a good ending. most nothing story ever
although i guess if the aim was to replicate that lonely, kind of pathetic feeling of early social media, I suppose it succeeded

it actually starts trying after the chaos that is level 1, pretty good but it's just hard for the sake of being hard

buggy asf, messy hitboxes, animatronics spawn at the same time making it impossible to deal with both

neat collection albeit tainted by the presence of super mario 2, maybe I'm asking too much but an option allowing you to play with classic sprites would've been nice. The updated art is nice but it loses some authenticity. It was fun but I'm glad theres no more games because I was starting to go insane

I thought the game was super easy with its short levels but it gradually reached the usual ruthless old mario difficulty. Have not encountered frog or hammer suit a single time and i cannot tell you why, i did finish the game with raccoon suit on though, the statue ability is a game changer
overall fun but not my favorite

id rather play lost levels three more times than finish this awfully designed garbage

this is just pure evil, wouldve never finished without loads

i still dont understand how im supposed to deal with hammer bros without power ups

I've always had an affinity for this game over the other old 2D marios, so I figured I'd finally play it from start to finish. Had a great time, the cape power is so fun

so so good, so much charm. I finally reached 100%. Only removing half a star because there's no level selection for campaign

better than agario cause you can actually kill the big guys as a small worm

mehh getting big is not worth the time

Star Wars hard carries this, still messy and insanely repetitive but there's some good aspects to it. Like the combat is genuinely fun and combos are satisfying to pull off.

It's an improvement but still not worth all the money. Original Playsets were better, the marvel ones are all the same. Skill Tree was neat though
