General Commentary and Game Overview

Well, this is certainly the most hilarious concepts I've seen on here in a while, but don't let that fool you. This game is far from good.

Pros	+Entertaining concept
Cons	-Terrible music -Completely luck based -Very little gameplay

Impressions

Gameplay 1 / 10	This is by far the worst aspect of this game. The gameplay (what little there is) involves using the arrow keys to measure the angle that Mario's head will follow, and pressing spacebar to whack it off. This would be nice if it actually worked, but it doesn't really make a difference where you aim it, as it won't even make it to the first obstacle unless you aim it straight forward. But the real reason that the gameplay is so terrible is that the game is less about aiming the head, and more about PRAYING TO GOD THAT THERE'S A BOMB NEAR THE START. Because that is seriously the only way you can hope to get a half-decent score.
Graphics 7 / 10	Meh. There's not really much to say here. The graphics are your standard SMB3 sprites. Bowser's club swinging animation is kind of awkward, but they're not TERRIBLE. The blood effect also looks kind of weird, but it definitely works.
Sound 2 / 10	Oooh boy. This is bad. You see, the music before Bowser hits Mario is probably the worst SMB3 Airship MIDI I have ever heard. It's absolutely atrocious. The only other song in the game is the normal level song from SMB3. It's not as bad as the other one, but it sounds pretty bland and generic. I do however like the SFX made by the obstacles when you hit them. Toad has a yelping noise, and Yoshi does a little noise too. However, you won't hear them too much. Because of the bad programming, the sounds often don't play when you hit the obstacle, which is too bad, because they were a nice little addition.
Replay 1 / 10	Okay, there's a high score table. Yeah, cool. My only question is why exactly you would bother playing this buggy luck based mess ever again. In my opinion, in order for a game to have replay value, it actually has to be enjoyable. The neat concept may make it seem fun at first, but it wears off rather quickly when you realize that it's really not very good.

Final Words

I've seen slot machines that play and sound better than this.
