This game does a terrific job of combining past with present.

After always being disappointed over titles that simply did not cut it, there was a sense of worry about this not being as fun as it was on the NES console. Low and behold this game is a hit, there is not one detail about this game that isn't good, the graphics and the music are still enjoyable. the added features (grow mushroom and shrink mushrooms) are a nice touch, but it does frustrate one that has to be in a certain mode to get to a world they would normally access.

I do also like the feature of being able to jump from world to world at a simple click of a map, that in itself is great. I also don't entirely mind not fighting Bowser all the time it makes for some different scenarios, which again is refreshing because it does not stray too far from the original. All and all if you worry about this game disappointing you, take a dive and have a look at this, you will not be misdirected.
