The game has an open map which allows you to choose where you'd like to begin. In eight different worlds you have to collect eight stars which you need to proceed to the final level. Every world consists of 4 stages and one castle where the boss lurks. Each world and every single stage has its own name that makes you guess what's waiting for you.

You might have seen most of the graphics before when you played several Mario games. However each world is well done according to their pattern and looks pretty nice. Also the music is quite unique and fits to each single world either. Depending on the player's experience the levels vary from easy to medium difficulty. If you're familiar with the "Mario family" you can see different characters, especially bosses, again.

Just in one world I used to find a special item like the fire flower. All the other time the box on top of the screen, where usually an item can be placed, stays empty. But actually in the other levels there's no need for special items. It's a little pity that you die immediately when you get hit by thorns, spikes and such stuff but still the game's a lot of fun. When you get hit by an enemy and then touch thorns, you've got quite a chance to survive when you are fast and jump onto a safe surface.

All in all I had a lot of fun playing the game. It might be a little short however the effort that had been put in is amazing! I recommend this hack to Mario fans and such who want to be. And I'm pretty sure that I'll play it again.

The player must complete eight worlds to advance to the final world. They can be completed in any order. However, each world is composed of linear and relatively short stages. The worlds and stages are thematic and every one of them looks unique.

Mario has a health counter in this hack. When hit, he bounces and lose one of the five health counters. When he bounces, he can be hit again because of the low invulnerability time. Also, spikes, pits and special projectiles can kill Mario immediately. At specific stages, Mario can slide walls. When sliding, he can do extra jumps and climb to higher places.

The hack is relatively short because of its straightforward nature. However, it is creative with good graphics, good design and a sense of uniqueness.
