In general terms this is a pretty simple game for most of the players, especially one has played new super mario. it bears simple graphics with fast loading. the colors are not as rich as other mario games since it is in pastel shades and geared towards the girls' preferences. for me, i prefer super rich tones. audio is alright as each stage plays a different tune. perry, the brolly, always sleep and dreamt of its past at the end of each boss stage. in the final stage, it knows that he is a boy being turned to an umbrella by a wizard. by staying close to Princess Peach, he hopes to find back his grandfather before his captivity by the wizard in his childhood days. i feel it is a bit draggy on the story instalments and not much depth.
