Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
Unlike what the screenshot and description suggests, this is not a fangame based on MarioFan1122's "Mario Boom" game idea. No no no, this is totally different.
This is basically a Mario fangame with tons of explosion.

Everything explodes in this game, enemies, coins, bricks, even Mario himself! Yeah, the joke might get old eventually, but it never reaches the point of getting annoying. And the level design is... well.. it's randomly generated. Now that's something I very rarely see in fangames.

One of my main problems here is the physics. They aren't very good in this game, like Mario loses all of his momentum when you let the directional keys go on air. That might not sound bad but it's not something any actual 2D Mario game does so it really throws you off. Mario's walk speed is also a bit on the slower side, but you get used to it quickly.
 
Graphics
7 / 10
SMAS-SMA4 styled sprites once again.

..well, except for stuff like ultra realistic lens flare and EXPLOSIONS. It clashes a bit, yeah, but it adds to the charm of the game.
 
Sound
8 / 10
I think the music here are custom SMW music from SMWCentral, and they are great!
The sound effects are also great. Some of them are typical Mario stuff, and some of them are kinda unique.
 
Final Words
7 / 10
I wish most joke games these days didn't just have bad graphics and no actual gameplay. This game right here is how it should be done imo
