General Commentary and Game Overview

Wow... This game is just long and hilarious. It has a repeative enemy system(They're usually just the same old enemies with new graphics and possibly a bit more HP) but I still found the game pretty fun.

Pros	Some of the cutscenes are hilarious. It's unpredictable. There've been many times I thought the game was over or extremely near the end and the always proved not to be. You change weapons. This game has so many bosses in a row near the end it's awesome.
Cons	Style mixmatching It's hard and long. Well, this isn't really a con, but it can make the game annoying for some players. Easy to edit your savefile. Repeative enemies.

Impressions

Gameplay 6 / 10	It's very simple, just get to another side of the stage from a topview. There is no jumping. Some levels have special things, like cracked walls or switches. There are typically 5 types of enemies... 1: Weak enemy with bouncing ball movement, such as a Goomba or mechanical Beetle. 2: Slightly stronger enemy with bouncing ball movement, such as a huge Bullet Bill or Blooper. The speed may be lower or higher then the weaker one. 3: An enemy that snipes from water. Generally annoying. The only water sniper enemies I can remember are Cheep Cheeps, though. 4: An enemy that stays still and snipes at you. Commonly blocking paths. Examples would be cannons and... the evil tree things from the original MarioQuest. 5: Mini-Boss. Some use bouncing ball movement, some don't. There's one that just stays still until you kill this one enemy. Some of these work like the cannon snipers (except they don't lock-on.) So, yeah, the enemies are pretty much repeative. The bosses... All the ones I can remember use bouncing ball movement and either shoot things at you or reflect your attacks. One doesn't attack at all and it can only hurt you by colliding with you.
Graphics 3 / 10	Ugh, mixmatching. Some of the graphics seem more like 3D game rips then sprites.
Sound 7 / 10	I personally love the music. I had heard most of it before but a long time ago(To name a few, the Forest of Fear song and the song in the cutscene before it), bringing back some memories. The sound effects are really just random sounds of things being shot, and sometimes the clashing of metal for mechanical bosses when they get hurt.
Replay 3 / 10	It's so long, you probably won't play it much after you beat it. But, when you do beat it, a level select opens up and you can replay from any save point, so you can go to levels you like quickly.

Final Words

This is probably one of the wackiest games I've ever played. It's long though, and hard near the end, so beware.
