General Commentary and Game Overview
This is your basic Mario game. You stomp on Goombas, collect coins, and proceed to the next level. However, unlike regular Mario games, this one stands out...
 
Pros Decent engine
Level design is okay
Good programming of the HUD
 
Cons Mario is hard to control
Good amount of glitches
Graphics...er...try again
 
Impressions
Gameplay
5 / 10
First, I'd like to point out that 8-bit Gamer named this game "Super Mario Remasted!." My guess is that he spelled "remastered" wrong and accidentally put a period at the end. Anyway, the gameplay is just like your everyday Mario platformer, where you do all of Mario's classic moves. When you first start the game, you see a pretty...unique menu, where control Mario and hit the blocks to tell you what to do. It would be much simpler and more organized if 8-bit Gamer didn't change the size of the window, and didn't make a different level of flooring for different options. The glitches need to be fixed, like any other fangame on MFGG, but I guess I should tell Hello that, considering he made the engine. When Mario hits a block, it doesn't always get hit. Sometimes Mario gets stuck inside of the block!

Overall, Mario is way too hard to control. He slides too far, and he's just all-around slippery. Gameplay deserves a 5.
 
Graphics
6 / 10
The graphics are just simple recolored 8-bit SMB sprites with no shading. I think there's a better choice of those kind of graphics here on the site, but they aren't really half bad. The only problem is that 8-bit Gamer failed to add decorations and scenery to the levels. Graphics get a 6.
 
Sound
5 / 10
8-bit Gamer used some okay SMB remixes for the music, which sounds pretty...left out in the levels, you know what I mean? The music just doesn't fit with the style of the game. Some of the sound effects are just ridiculously loud that I needed to turn down my volume. Sound gets a 5.
 
Replay
3 / 10
There's not really any replay value to this game, because you can't save your game. Sure, there's an option of loading a game, but no saving! Well, at least not that I know of. Replay deserves a 3, sorry.
 
Final Words
5 / 10
It needs work. That's all I have to say. Lots of work for that matter.
