Some people think what can be interesting in a plumber? But they don't know that he isn't a simply plumber, he is Mario. The story is the same: Bowser (King of the Koopas) kidnapped Princess Peach and you have to free her. This game can be played by two people (Mario and his brother Luigi). If the one of you die, the other can try the stage. There are more than 70 stages, and some stages have more than one finishing point. There are 4 different stages: yellow (1 finishing point), red (2 finishing points), ghost house (1-3 finishing points) and castle. There are 7 worlds(+2 secret worlds): Yoshi's Island, Donut Plains, Vanilla Dome, Twin Bridges Area (including the Cheese & Butter Bridges and Soda Lake) with Cookie Mountain, Forest of Illusion, Chocolate Island, and the Valley of Bowser, Star Road(secret) and Special Zone(secret). At the end of every world there is a castle where a Koopa lives. At the end of the stage you must defeat him/her. There are some differences from the original Mario:
-Spin Jump (Mario spinning while he is jumping-->with this he can defeat thougher enemies with one jump and break blocks)
-Flower (Mario can project fireballs)
-Feather (Mario gain a cape, and he can fly)
-Mario can exit from the level without completing it.
-Yoshi (green, red, yellow and blue colored): Yoshi is a dinosaur Mario can ride.Upon eating a shell of any color, blue Yoshis can fly, red Yoshis can spit fire, and yellow Yoshis stomp the ground, hurting nearby enemies. A yellow shell that has been entered by a Koopa becomes multicolored, allowing Yoshis of any color to fly, stomp, and spit fire all in one. There are also Baby Yoshis in the Star World levels which can be picked up by Mario. After eating five enemies or any power-up, they will become a fully grown Yoshi of the same color.
-Mario is able to pick up things(for example Koopa shell) and throw it (he can also throw it above)
The music was composed by Koji Kondo and I think it's pretty good. Some of the musics are the same, but in different style (faster or slower...).
The end of the game is original. You save the princess by defeating Bowser and then you all go home.
If you want to spend your time with a SNES game, I really recommend this one.
