A very good game that brings you back to the classics.
For all the Mario fans, if you have not purchased this game yet, it is still available in wal mart and is a very recommended game... On to the review..
Storyline: In the first cutscene of the game, it's Princess Peach's Birthday (Her age is unknown). While Mario and the gang (Luigi, Toads etc.) are celebrating, Princess Peach gets kidnapped by Bowser and his Koopalings. Meanwhile, Mario, Luigi, and Toad go to the rescue. Throughout each world you get to, each world has a boss. The bosses are the Koopalings. It's going to a scale from youngest to oldest. It can also be defined as easiest to hardest. I'm not sure if this is a spoiler or not, but after World 1, World 2 is a desert, World 3 has snow, World 4 is an undersea world, World 5 is a jungle, World 6 is underground, World 7 is in the sky, and World 8 is a lava world. The World 8 boss is Bowser. Off and on Bowser Jr. will be a boss.
Gameplay: The gameplay sends you right back to the Super Mario Bros. gameplay. It's very addicting and every stage is unique. All I can say here.
Graphics: If you have an HD Tv screen, then the graphics look great. HD or no HD, the graphics are still pretty good. I like every detail of each stage, it looks like it's right in front of you (Not literally).
Difficulty: The difficulty is just right. Every stage has its ups and downs with the difficulty. If you like challenge, you will more than likely enjoy World 5, World 7, and World 8. Do not get worried about the enemies, just worry about the obstacles and bosses.
Overall: This game is possibly the best gift you could possibly give to someone. The game is still in stock and is about $21.00 or less. Very recommended.
