General Commentary and Game Overview
SMB DDX is one of the best game a mfgg, it whas nice but i confess it disapoint me a little bit, i exeped the full verision should be than game when you love every level, but it whas not exetly what it become, it is very good after all and you should absolutly try it out, but this is not what i exepted from the demo verision.

First time you se it looks it complete similar to the orginal smb but when you have played it than while can you se it is not so very smb as looked like at the start, well i liked to have some differen things to but i think much of the game could have been more smb, but i liked the newer things to like mega mushroom and the features from other smb games, the only thing as i don't like are than when you have played it than while dose the feeling about to play the orginal smb disapperat with the time, it is only there with the start, when you have beaten the first boss is it almost gone.

But is is very i spent allot of time to play this game and i think it is very fun. even some levels not are so much smb so are it still fun.

Impressions
Gameplay
8 / 10
Well for the mostly is the game very nice, the levels are fun and it is easy to control, there are two differen controls in this game, you can run with ctrl and jump with shift or you can run with z and jump with X, it is very good to control Mario seems to jump perfect high and he did seems to run to fast or to slow.

The chalenge is for the mostly very good, but some chalenge could have been beter, some places seems to be very hard, even to hard, there is no check point so that can make some levels very hard and i will say some of the levels could need check point, some places are so hard then the become frutasion and some levels could need check point, exept that is the challenge pretty good, not to much enemies, the levels seems to have very good challenge and it seems to have powerup where it need.

There is not mucht glithes, the only thing i notised here is than is than if you swim down than hole in than water level dose the ground end before the the space as you die so you can swim up under the ground and swim inside the ground, this is notn than direct glith it is only than thing the creator forgeted than block exept thet did i not notise anny glithes.

There is no special power up, the only powerup as not apperad in the orginal smb whas the mega mushroom, exept that have it only the basic powerup, mushroom and fire flower, but that is enough to make it fun, it work exetly like it dose in the orginal smb when you are small Mario dose you get than mushroom and if you are super Mario dose you get than fire flower, the only thing as disapoint me here whas than it don't have star, instand of star use it mega mushroom, the only thing i don't like with mega mushroom is than if you whas fire Mario and get the mega mushroom dose you become super Mario again when the mega mushroom is finished.

You can play both Mario and Luigi, this work the same way as it do in the lost level, Luigi can jump higest but Mario is easyest to control, when you start the game can you select to start than Mario game or you can start than Luigi game, there are two ways to the boss so you can get use of both of them to unlock all the levels.
 
Graphics
8 / 10
The graphic is very good, mostly of the graphics is 16bit edited 8smb sprites, but not all, it is only the sprites and the tiles as edited from the orginal smb, the bakgrounds are from smw and smas, it fit nice together but not exelent.

The sprite edit looks very good, all the edits looks very orginal, they have than colorfull editing, but i can't say the same thing about the sprites as edited from other game, some enemies are edited from smw and i can't say they looks very good, and the fire flower dose not have animation but rest of the editing are nice, the unshaded tiles seems to fit the game very nice but it could have been better.

The bakgrounds are from snes games, it disapoint than they not whas smb edited, but there is not much bakground in the orginal smb so it is alright, but it could at least have been edited into the same style as the smb edited sprites, but they seems to work well, mostly of the bakgrounds are from smas smb1 and smb2 but it have bakground smw to, like the overworld and the cave bakground seems to be from smas smb1, and the castle bakground seems to be recolored from smas smb2 pluss it seems to have bakgrounds from smw to, they whas ok but i think the overworld bakground could need some more objects like hils and clouds.

The levels are for the mostly pretty nice designed, but some places could have than more intresting design, but after all the levels are very good designed i did not notise anything wrong with it.
 
Sound
7 / 10
The sound are ok, the music are only normal midis from vgmusic, but the choise are not bad, in the overworld and the cave dose it use the smas smb1 theme, and in the castle dose it have the bowser domain music from sm64 and it use the metal Mario theme at Mega Mario and some musics from other Mario game, nothing spesial no music you never have heard before, the sound effects impressed me more, they whas not special but i liked the quality at them, the sound effects are from smas smb 1 i think, they fit the game very nice, but still no sound as you never have heard before.
 
Replay
10 / 10
Large game and you can play both Mario and Luigi, there are many ways to the last levels so you must play it more than one time for than finish the world, and there are some secret levels to unlock and much challenge, this dose not lose the fun after the first try, and you can use Luigi to unlock the levels as Mario not unlocked or Mario to the levels as Luigi not unlocked, you must play it many times before you have finished it, this dose not get boring so fast.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
SMB DDX is very nice but it disapint me a bit, i exepted it whas better but it is still good.
