Satisfying, but I've seen better...

Not the best Mario game, but it has its moments. The best part is that this is one of the only Mario games in which you can choose more characters. Here are some attributes:

Mario: Balanced character
Speed:****
Power:***
Jump:***

Luigi: Better jumping ability
Speed:**
Power:**
Jump:*****

Peach: Levitate for a short time.
Speed:***
Power:*
Jump:****

Toad: Strongest character.
Speed:*
Power:*****
Jump:*
This is how I determine their performance so it isn't based on anything on the manual.

This is a platformer in which you get through the stage and beat a boss such as Birdo at the end. In this game, you mostly get on an enemy and throw them than just jump on them. This game is pretty easy so you'd get through it in 2 hours if you are a good gamer. This was the launch title for the GBA and I liked it at first, but it will get old. I should be thankful to try such an old Mario game. But then again I've seen better and Super Mario World is one of those games.
