I used to think a Mario fighter would be a good idea...

First off, the name doesn't make much sense and is a little misleading. I understand that the fighters are all from Super Mario Kart, but there are no karts involved. Besides the name, this game was a HUGE dissapointment. I was excited to hear about an arcade-style fighter with Mario and co., but it was basically just a warm-up for Mortal Kombat. There's no storyline to this game. Just pick a player and fight for three rounds. No challenge, nothing to gain, nothing worth playing. I'm sure with Nintendo's shameless exploitation of the Super Mario series there should be another Mario fighter. That's what I'm hoping for, and maybe they'll do it right the second time.
