The gameplay in this game is what you would expect in a platformer, he jumps around, collects things that make him bigger and more powerful. He jumps around for coins and somehow, he jumps at heights that most basketball players can only reach. Jumping on the heads of enemies to kill them is just fun. Playing as Luigi is also as fun.

The graphics in this game is not as impressing as the rest of the qualities of this game but can be considered a stepping stone for the graphics we have today. Ever since this was released, people tried making their games with better graphics.

The sound is my favourite part of this game because everything you do in the game has a sound that reacts to it. When you jumps, a *boing* sound is heard, when you grab a coin, a *ding* sound is heard. Kicking a shell makes a *knock* sound.

The replay value in this game is high because if you lose all of your lives, you have to start all over again and some people like to play this game again and again even after they have finished it.

The story is another stepping stone because the "Damsel in Distress" story was copied from this game so many times. While this game took the story from Donkey Kong which took that from King Kong. Overall, this game is Revolutionary.

    This is the mario bros. before the super one. No mushrooms, no princess, just you and your brother Luigi clearing the pipes of nasty creatures. It's a fun and balanced mix of co-op and competitive gameplay that's a no-br... Read Full Review
