After trying this game, it was honestly just a weird experience. I remember the first level of mario back when I played it as a kid and almost everything is different compared to it. When you see the boxes with the “?” you assume it is going to be a reward, but out pops a ghost. When you jump on the enemies that were suppose to be goombas, you just die, when usually if you jump on their head you squash them. Also falling platforms when you got to a certain point in the game. It was just a complete twist to what mario was.

I think this game is great because it plays tricks on the players that have played mario before. But for people who haven’t played mario, they may think it’s just how the game is suppose to be. This type of game is probably easier for people who haven’t played the original mario before because they start without expectations of mechanics that were in mario.
