One of the most classic 2-D platformers ever made is back, and its really something to be proud of (If you own it!)
Story: The intro of the game is very new to most Super Mario fans : it begins with Mario and Peach strolling down Mushroom Kingdom. But then all of a sudden, a dark cloud lurks upon the castle and strikes it with lightning. Will Peach admires this spectacle, Mario runs down to the castle to see if everything is ok. But will Peach is alone without her mustached hero at her side, the young offspring of the infamous Bowser creeps behind her and snatches her with agility but not fast enough for Peach to scream out with all her strength to Mario which comes running back to her leaving the castle behind because as we all know : nothing is more important to this little Sicilian plumber than his dear Princess Peach. So as we can all see, this is a much different story line than any other Mario game (YAH RIGHT!!!!!). So this incident leaves Mario determined to go and risk his life trough 8 worlds only to rescue his dear Peach.
The rest is up to you to find out!
Review: The game-play is absolutely fantastic except for one minor problem, if your going threw the game and trying to finish it at 100%, it can become very stressful (but hey, maybe ts just me!). Another thing that I think is great about this game is that they get kept the famous bowser boss with the switch which the floor that crumbles when you hit it, but they have also added 6 new bosses. The only thing that disappoints me is that the game is much to easy : you can finish the whole game in about three hours. But they have added something to even out that point : After you have finished the game, you have this kind of side-quest which makes you win different background on the touch by getting all of the Star Coins in the game.
So over all this is a pretty great game and if you are a person who like easy stuff.
