Mario (In capsule)
OVERALL GAMEPLAY:
An extremely easy game to figure out, Just keep the ball from hitting the ground. The
challenge though is when your capsle shrinks or blocks start coming down at you. It may not be a a very complex game but it is
the lack of complexity that makes the game very enjoyable. Each block of 3 levels have a theme to the shape of blocks. The
first of the three has no real obsticle, the second contains moving blocks and the third if you aren't quick the blocks will
drop down and smash you. After you completed the set of three you get a bonus round. Each bonus level containts characters
from Super Mario Bros. rendered in the little blocks you have to break.
GRAPHICS:
Well you can get very complex with a ball and blocks you have to break, luckily though
gameplay makes up for the lack of graphics. The Mario Bros characters in the bonus rounds are really neat to see all made
up out of the blocks.
SOUND:
The intro music is jumpy and gets you excited about the game. Unfortunately though, once you start
playing all you hear is a noise bounce and the noises blocks make when you hit them. Sounds wise this game has little if
nothing to offer.
REPLAY VALUE:
This game has a good replay value. It may not have the best graphics or the best
sound but its simplicity is what brings gamers back to this classic game.
COMMENTS:
One of the first GameBoy games and its very easy to tell. The graphics aren't all
that great and nither is the sound but it doesnt take away from the game. The game
itself is a simple game it takes no time to figure it out, that is what makes this a
great game.
