I must first preface that most aspects of this game are well done, I enjoy the look and style, the music is very good and my favorite aspect of the game, and there are good amount of hidden things to find and explore in levels, but unfortunately, my main issue lies in the slippery controls of the main character and that I find myself getting easily frustrated with the game and level design (particularly from World 3 and onward) to where I end up just trying to book it to the end of the levels to beat the game, not a good sign if that's how I end up playing this game that encourages exploration. I can also acknowledge my patience certainly is lower then it was many years ago, but many aspects of levels starting on World 3 made this a frustrating game and in the end I became determined to at least beat it. In a way the developer kind of designed the game accurately like many retro titles of the past with getting frustrated at certain parts and dying over and over, and was still nice when I beat it, but if you enjoy exploring and finding secrets in a retro style game, you will likely enjoy it, however the time I had with this game is all I'll ever put into it.

I remember getting this as a clueless middle schooler thinking it was some emergent indie platformer like Meatboy or something. I highly recommend doing an online emulator of Mario or Metroid. This is like a school project.

It is functional 2D platformer. Found it fun enough.

yes, controls are a bit floaty and it might take a couple of minutes getting used to. but its a fun platformer. if you liked mario, youre gonna like this. its worth the 5 bucks

Cool classic Mario game :)
