Rating: 4.4/5
Ok, I'm sick of everyone saying that Mario 2 is a "rip off" of this game! Yes, this one came first, but it was made By Nintendo first, also, meaning If Miyamoto wants to distribute it and replace the characters with some more recognizable faces, then I say, Go ahead! The gameplay is the same as Mario 2 (duh...), since it's on a japanese system, the sounds and music are a bit different. also, the Run button does not apply here. To see this game for what it is, you must pretend like mario 2 Never EXISTED... it's 1987, and you live in japan... "ooh... a new disk? this could be cool!" -opens, plays- "...neat!" The fact is, the gameplay and graphics are good, the levels are variable and interesting, and they get progressivly tougher as they go. 9.5 / 10
