Gameplay 10 / 10 |
Few Mario fangames manage to capture that certain style that Mario games have in their level design. This is not one of those fangames. Super Mario Fangame is full of excellent levels that are well thought out and are actually fun to play. The game runs on a very smooth engine, and while some of the jump techniques are little difficult to pull off, it doesn't take long to get used to the controls, and before you know it, you'll be sending Mario leaping around like a pro. In addition, the game features an excellent difficulty curve, with later levels becoming increasingly more difficult than earlier ones without becoming frustrating, something that many fangames lack. |
Graphics 6 / 10 |
It's a mixed bag here. On the one hand, all the graphics are custom made, which I am always quick to applaud. The locations are colorful and all the characters have unique animations. On the other hand, many of the graphics look a little sloppy, with a lot of mediocre shading. Despite these flaws, all the graphics mesh with each other, so the overall look is pleasing to the eye. |
Sound 7 / 10 |
Sound effects are very well done here. Mario yelps and yahoos all over the place, but enough different sounds are used to keep him from being annoying. Music consists of midis, which can be a little annoying at times, but they aren't ones that have been overused to death, so the tunes are fresh overall. |
Replay 8 / 10 |
Way more that most fangames. The good level design just kept me coming back, and I continued to retry after losing, simply to see what would come next. |

This game is as well made as its name is generic |

Might I add MSpaint default colors for some of the sprites.
