If you have played it on the 64 then it will never feel as gd as it was then, it was a gd attempt and a gd outcome too..
If you have never played the game before and are not a fan of the Mario series then you should still give it a try as you may fall in love with it. It is 3D and makes good use of the touch screen. It is quite smooth and fun to play and there have been a few modifacations from the original. It folows the same storyline of pretty much every other Mario game. Oh no! Bowser has kidnapped Peach! You must save her by collecting stars! You have the little mushroom kid helping you through if you get really stuck. The multiplayer let it down. There is no Wi - Fi which is fair enough but there are only 2 other game modes. The mini games which are quite fun to play, and a game where you have to beat the other player in a race to a star...Not so fun. Overall the game is fun to play and is worth buying, but certain aspects do let it down. It needed something a bit more to make it a classic.
