great start to a empire of portable mario games. this game ages both the best and the worst aged super mario games. controls are all over the place. if you jump you can barely change direction mid air, if you fall off the side of a platform you fall so fast, its like the blink of an eye. you have3 power ups, standard super mushroom and star power ups bit also a new super ball power up that when you shoot a ball it bounces around tge screen immune to gravity, bouncing of walls until it despawns. you can only shoot one at a time so be wary on when you shoot one. this game is really fun, and has some of the most unique level designs and enemys. this game is pretty jarring to play now, but if you look past all the flaws with it vsing the first portable mario and play with an open mind, you will find a great game.
