The game is a classic Mario game.
Mario has to rescue Princess Peach, as Bowser has once again kidnapped her. It's a good and a bad thing that this is the same storyline as other Mario games. It's a good thing because you don't have to learn a whole new set of characters, and Bowser is hard enough to beat as it is!
It's a bad thing because seriously, how many times do you have to rescue a princess before the kidnapper realises that he isn't going to get away with it?! If I was Mario or Princess Peach, I would be thinking about taking out a restraining order against Bowser!
The graphics are bright and colourful and it is lovely to see a lot of colour in the video game, especially considering a lot of games these days are going quite dark or are just using blocks of colour.
The characters are still in their cartoon style of animation, but it is a lot smoother than the old 8Bit games where Mario first made his name as *the* hero of an action platformer.
I think that the game could have been improved by being longer and having a wider selection of power ups available.
I give the game eight stars out of ten.
