Author Summary Score
steffire A decent 'Mario' platformer that has it's good moments. 7 / 10
Dim_Yimma_H The perfect kind of fan game, with its own special style, yet good sense of Mario. 9 / 10
ShortKoop Mario vs. the Koopas is one of the MFGG Games that I can relate to. 8 / 10
Mechant Mario vs. the Koopas is a must-play game. Once you start playing it, you just simply can't stop. It has to be one of MFGG's best fangames. 9 / 10
Myuu Evocative of the NES, most of the challenge is in doing the easy early levels perfectly so that by the late and hard levels you will have enough lives to finish. No saving, obviously. Still, quite enjoyable. 8 / 10
YoungLink I can see why people give this game a good score, but while it imitate a lot on the Mario games, there are a lot of flaws seen in the game, especially on its insane difficulty and using up a lot of time to view cutscenes again and again. It would be good if the game offers customizations on difficulties and other aspects, but since this game did not, I have to stick to a low score. 6 / 10
smbmaster99 Don't know about some of yas, but i think this is one of the best games here on MFGG. Castor has a good reason to be very pleased with his creation. 10 / 10
the real wart A begainners game or a begainners luck game I should say, with all the GM games coming in, it's nice to see a nicely made MMF in the mix. I reccomend playing this because of how fun this is. 10 / 10
the GML This game have alot of potential and it's really fun. Play it! 10 / 10
Mylverous With a bit polishing and bug fixing this could be one of the best games in MFGG. 8 / 10
Sly Guy Mario vs the Koopas is an instant classic and is simply perfection through and through. This game is absolutely flawless in every way. 10 / 10
Giga Gamer This game is the perfect fan-made platformer, is awesome in all respects, and definitely, absolutely, completely, 100% deserves a... 10 / 10
sonicmario544 Kinda good game, I agree in what FoxGuy said. I would like this game to be remade better. Not the best graphics. More or less of good music. Bad gameplay, sorry castor. 7 / 10
samgamereviews An amazing Mario platformer. Probably better than all of the games in mfgg. This is a must play with great level design, gameplay, and well everything else! 10 / 10
Zero Kirby Don't let the simple name fool you! You'd be hard pressed to find a better game than this one. Topping Toad Strikes back and the like, Castor's foray into the fangaming world is an instant classic, and it's amazing enough to earn my first real ten out of ten. 10 / 10
Ninji Fan This is the perfect Mario fangame! Play it! 10 / 10
DOODLEboy99 This is a game that feels like Nintendo itself made it! There's no saving, which makes it harder. But if your up for a challenge, I recommend you download this riiight...NOW! 10 / 10
FoxGuy I would consider this an perfect game cause it plays like a real game feels(sorta) like one.It should be a "must play" but it depends on your interests 10 / 10
Average Score 9 / 10

That doesn't mean you're dumb. I'd have said you were dumb if you had spelled "clashed" incorrectly ON PURPOSE. THAT would be dumb.

Also, this is probably the BEST fan game that I have downloaded off of this site. It reminds me of SMB3 (NES) and Kirby's Dreamland (SNES) / Kirby: Nightmare in Dreamland (GBA port). The animations are nice and smooth, and the sprites are colorful and crisp. Good job, Castor!

I must admit that this is an amazing game; one of my favorite fan games so far, but I must ask: HOW THE HECK DO YOU SAVE YOUR PROGRESS?!

Sorry if the way I asked that was rude, but I'm a bit frustrated by the fact that I have to start the whole game over EVERY TIME I get a Game Over (pun not intended).

Oh, and could you make it so that getting 1-ups ISN'T near impossible

It's VERY challenging, but that's probably the way it's MEANT to be. ;D

But, yeah, slam422 has a point. I think they're should be a save function somewhere...

Just a suggestion.....

But the game is short so why would we need a save function? The game is just hard but the boss fights are worth it. =)

Dude, don't be an expletive removed. Not all of us can have big vocabularies. Anyway, this is a great game, a few bugs aside. I really wish more games were gamepad compatible. My $20 has really gone to waste and my ring finger is sore from pressing the right arrow too much. This needn't be fixed, but if you jump and hold the left and right arrow keys, the jump sprite doesn't change when you hit the ground.

The game is awesome. I have just one complaint: When you die, you have to restart the ENTRIE game over! You should make it so you just have to restart the level you're on!

This game is extremely frustrating. I'd like it more if you added different difficulty levels that change how much HP you start a level with, or something similar, for those of us who are horrible at platforming games.

Also, like everyone else says, game overs are TOO frustrating if they make you start the entire game over.

This game ROCKS!!!! And the music is GREAT! Do you rip it yourself? Or do you get it from a website? Oh, and I want to save! But I can't. Besides that, it's really good.

I just sent the PM. Hopefully Castor will read it and fix this save problem.

EDIT: It saves automatically when you open a Koopa Lock.

Programs exist which allow a gamepad to be used with any fangame, I think.

One of them may be called "JoyToKey" or something similar, but I've only heard about it and can't remember for sure.

I just beat the game,and I shall review it!


Note that I rate the graphics 10/10 and I said they clash. I did not know what clash meaned, so sorry. Think that the word clash in my review means, fits in, for expect the last clash.

It's meant, not ''meaned''.

Is it supposed to save when a Koopa Lock is open?
Well, I got 4 (or three, don't remember) stars and opened the first Koopa Lock. Then I got Game Over on the next level but I still had to start from the beginning...

Great game, but Mario doesn't always jump when I press jump. In block fort I always fall into lava because he doesn't jump.

This game in all aspects, was epic! If this was your first, I can't wait to see what else you make!The use of Mario RPG music and Chrono Trigger made my day. A sequel would be cool also.

I am really sorry for offending Castor's game. I didn't mean to say such bad things about this well-made game. The reason I said these things was because I had been in a bad mood. I feel really bad now that I said these things. I will make a better review, tomorrow, and say all the good things about this game and I will give it a 10/10. This is really not bad for someones first Fan-Game. Every one please forgive me for doing this. As you can see I have not much of self-control. What I was trying to say, is that every one is different and nobody is the same. Once again I am really sorry about this. :(
