General Commentary and Game Overview

A nice Super Mario 64 sequel, and, although it was short, it was effective. I liked how there were unlockable moves in the game, and the bro swap was cool as well.

Pros	-Even for a Demo, the game featured challenges different from the actual SM64 game. -Even though the maps go back and forth, the treasures are worthwhile. -Worthwhile challenges several times.
Cons	-Like I said, the maps go back and forth sometimes, which gets repetitive. -The only boss in the demo was kind of annoying at times due to predicability like a psychic. -A little-bit related to Indiana Jones as well (Raiders of the Lost Arc). I'm not putting this just because it's a con, but mainly relatability issues with this.

Impressions

Gameplay 7 / 10	Fun, yet short. It takes around a half-hour if you're good at Mario-based games for the demo. But otherwise, a good SM64 sequel.
Graphics 8 / 10	Good overall here, but not the greatest. In my opinion, they look like M&L 1 sprites, but at least some of the others, such as the level design, was good.
Sound 7 / 10	Crystal clear, though only a few music tracks, one per level plus the hub and boss, were put in, plus no "Bro swap" sound. Though the rest was good, I would've liked to have seen a "Bro swap" sound in the demo.
Replay 4 / 10	Not much to say about replayability if you've already beaten it. Actually, I don't see too much of a point to do so other than if you actually want to try different alternatives or test your skills for a later release.

Final Words

Although the game was good in terms of Gameplay and Graphics, it looked like some stuff was missing, even for a demo. Though, good job with it still, and we hope to see later releases of this game.

"Fun, yet short." it's called a demo for a reason
