Awesome
Definitely an awesome game, I played it all the way through, didn't manage to get all the medals, but still had a lot of fun. Here's what I think
Gameplay - (10/10) Solid, Original, Enjoyable, doesn't get old either, compels you to win by rubbing your mistakes in your face at times.
Graphics - (9/10) Nice and nostalgic with only minimal if non-existant flaws
Sound - (9/10) Nostalgic again, great almost exact same sounds as each characters original game
Music - (10/10) do I really have to say anything for this one?
Story - (6/10) Reminiscent of super mario world, however, if I'm not mistaken the point of the game was to defeat bowser. . . to rescue. . . a bird. . . what?
Options - (8/10) you don't support low/med/high graphics which is sad but you do allow one of the more intense effects to be cut off among other things.
Difficulty - (10/10) You didn't go wrong here, you implemented difficulty in an extremely unique way, by making the players choice of character as well as their choice of item, determine the difficulty of the game giving it an extremely wide range of difficulty.
Customization - (8/10) You allow players to make and share their own levels using generated codes from levels they make using the game, my only problem with this, is that you didn't build a sharing utility into the game, like many other games that have this function.
Overall - (10/10) while their are some very minor down-sides, the game did what any game should be able to do, it gave me hours of enjoyment, and made sure I stayed interested enough to keep playing to at least the end of the main story.
Notes: Graphics options are extremely important especially in speed/reflex games like this, please remember to at least add the option to change the graphics whenever possible.
Next time try to add a sharing utility, you'd be surprised how useful they are and how often their used.
Looking forward to your next game!
