General Commentary and Game Overview
Hello Engine. Most people would hear this and cringe like they heard something that was forbidden being spoken of. I understand why they do that now. Take this into account: What kind of engine is the most commonly used GM Mario engine on MFGG? Hello's engine. Who makes the most bland and boring clones with this engine? Not other fan game makers, but Hello himself.
Now I know why people hate the Hello Engines. Now I know why people don't want a Hello Engine 5.
 
Pros It was a good idea, and it uses a very underused Mario thing: large worlds that can only be completed if you collect a specific item.
 
Cons It uses Hello Engine. Which, by default, means it's going to be a clone of the engine itself, and therefore is terrible.
That pretty much sums up the only problem.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
5 / 10
 It's a basic Hello game, which automatically means it's going to be sub par at best, but the puzzle solving elements and good level design made it a bit better. The only thing that downgrades this back to sub par is the enemy placement and annoying ceiling placement that WILL kill you almost every time.
 
Graphics
3 / 10
 Graphics clashed A LOT. The SMB3 Mario (which is actually SMA4's Mario due to the washed out colours.) did not match AT ALL with Black Squirrel's tilesets. Black squirrel had a black outline and vibrant colours that reminded me of the SNES, while Hello's Mario had the off black outline and washed out, bland colours seen on GBA.
 
Sound
2 / 10
 The sound files of the game were pretty good, and the sound effects that were added in were good as well, but other than that it was simply the same sounds used in HE4.
 
Replay
5 / 10
 Half and Half to a No. The general response to a level on Mario 3 that had secrets once you beat it the normal way was "No! I have to go back and get the secrets!" The general response was: "Okay, I'll just play the level over and get the key, no prob." You'll want to replay the levels for the secrets, but do the normal way first because getting a secret exit does NOT mean you can go on to the next level.
 
Final Words
6 / 10
 Just another Hello game. The novelty wore off when I got my 5th game over on the second level trying to jump and hitting my had on the ceiling.
