Super Mario Land
By Nintendo
Graphics: 3.5
Motion blur, motion blur, motion blur. When you're running at high
speed, it's hard to tell which enemies are which. The graphics are okay
at a standstill, but the motion blur is REALLY annoying.
Sound: 4.0
The sound is pretty good. It repeats about every 25 seconds, though.
After a while, you get used to it. The sound effects are just alot of
beeps and boops.
Control: 5.0
What can I say. 2 button control. Sometimes when you try to jump forward,
he jumps straight up in the air, though.
Funfactor: 4.5
This game would have gotten a 4.0, but when I beat it for the 1st time,
I felt an urge to play it again. It doesn't get higher because it's a
typical Mario side-scroller. When you beat it a few times, it gets a
little boring. Good for long trips, though.
Overall: 4.0
Difficulty: Beginner
Style: Action

The Story
Once upon a time, there was a peaceful world called Sarasaland. In this
world there were 4 kingdoms named Birabuto, Muda, Easton, and Chai. One
day, the skies of Sarasaland were suddenly covered by a huge black cloud.
From a crack in this cloud, the unknown space monster Tatanga emerged
to try to conquer Sarasaland. Tatanga hypnotized the people of all the
kingdoms so that he could control them in any way he liked. In this way,
he took over Saraland. Now, he wants to marry Pricess Daisy and make
her his queen. Mario came to know of these events, and has started on
a journey to the Chai kingdom where Princess Daisy is held captive, in
order to restore peace to Sarasaland. Can Mario defeat Tatanga, release
people from his interstellar hypnosis, and rescue Princess Daisy? It's
all up to you and Mario's skill. Go for it Mario!!
