We got this game for my 5 yr old son for Christmas as he loves the television show!!He absolutely love the game and never tires of playing it!! It was definately worth the money and my sons friends all love playing it too.As a matter of fact I finally sat down to play the game and found my 5 yr old instructing me on how to do the special feature moves with the extra buttons.I also have teenage brothers and sisters and they were absolutely in love with the game too.I would say the game would normally be for a bit older than 5 yrs old though because my son is already very computer literate and can read completly, this is why he is able to handle it so easily. There are words on the screen they need to read or have read to them in order to do the games.

Gamers everywhere rejoice as Mario the most popular character in video game history-returns in Paper Mario, a brand-new adventure for your N64.
Paper Mario is filled to the brim with familiar faces, places and items, all presented in a fresh new light. As you guide the plucky plumber on his journey, you'll encounter such Mario mainstays as Boos, Bob-ombs, Koopas and Goombas. Most of them are enemies, but sometimes one will break ranks and fight by Mario's side. You'll also meet up with a rogue's gallery of old friends and foes, whom may include Bowser, Goombario, Kooper Koopa, Princess Peach, and Kammy Koopa.
Paper Mario is a game that has something for everyone. It'ssimple to learn and fun for younger gamers, yet complex enough to keep even battle-hardened joystick jockeys playing for weeks. Followers of the Mario craze will be pleased with the recognizable faces and worlds, while RPG fans can rejoice at the thought of one of the deepest and most customizable RPG's to come along for any system in a very long time. Add a gigantic world, hundreds of special moves, dozens of items, and some very funny dialogue and sight gags--the result is the Mario game we've all been eagerly awaiting.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars Review

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
So one day, while playing Zelda, Ocarina of Time, for the hundreth time, I began thinking about back before I had the great Zelda to enjoy. The first thing that came to my mind was this Mario game. The more I thought about it, the more I wanted to play it. But I have lost my old copy, and I can't seem to find it. But I will tell you, this game is incredible. The reason I'm reviewing it now is because I'm waiting for my mom to get home, so I can order it again.

First of all, the game has RPG profesionals Square (the creators of the Final Fantasy series, one of the most succesful RPG's of all time. If you didn't know that, you must, like, live in a hole or something) backing it up. This just shows that the RPG elements will be perfect, because I mean, how many Final Fantasies are there? Like, a hundred?

Second of all, the story is just great. Not too many games nowadays have great stories. There's plenty of twists and turns, and it's all quite interesting. Also, the game is quite humorous. Just looking at those pics by Phil brings back fond memories. I can't wait to get my hands back on this.

Back then, the game was quite ahead of its time. It is in full 3D, and boasts better graphics than some games I see today. Seriously, just look at those pictures! That's incredible for SNES! Also, the game is HUGE! If you play the game until you find and collect every single thing there is to find and collect (and knowing Nintendo, that's a lot), it would take you a really long time! This isn't going to be a game you just sit down and beat in six hours. I don't even want to know how much time I wasted playing this game. Jeeze.

Plus, the game is very much re-playable. In fact, to get some things, you probably will have to re-play the game. But that makes it more fun! There are even some moments in the game that I remember replaying the whole game just to get back to that single part. It's not a game you'll forget. Obviously, I haven't played it in years and I still vividly remember a lot of it. That could also be because I played it probably as much times as Zelda. That's a lot.

However, I would say this isn't a game for everyone, of course. If you don't like Mario, I suggest you don't get this game. If you don't like RPG's, don't get this game. The game does has it's tough moments, so don't get it if you're not at least 5 years old. Even if you're not very good at video games, get it anyway. I first got it when I wasn't good, and now I'm really good, so maybe it will help you. Also, don't get this if you're not good at commiting. If you don't like to spend more than 5 hours for a game, because it becomes boring around that time, you probably shouldn't get this. But get it anyway, because it's just so darn good.

*Takes a breath* Haha, that was really long, but it's hard not to go on a long time about this game. It really is incredible. The game's name is quite fitting. SUPER!

Mario Party 2 Review

Mario Party 2

Far superior to mario party 1. I think my wife and I enjoy playing more than my 6 and 11 year old. Unlike the first Mario party you aren't penalized any coins for losing mini games, which makes it lessdissapointing for the kids. The new boards are original and fun to play(with the exception of mystery land which is like running around incircles). Buying the special items adds an entirely new dimension to thegame and allows players to really use strategy to win. I also appreciatethat no mini games require spinning the joystick. No more unsightly handindentations
By far the best Nintendo game to date.

At first, I was really skeptical about this game after playing Virtua Tennisfor Dreamcast.That game was great.The graphics and simplegameplay were really fun.However, I must say that Mario Tennis blew meaway.Not only are the 2 button controls easy for all skill levels tomaster, the gameplay is very simple.It is one of the easiest games forbeginners to get into and start having fun.The game is probably best for4 players.It makes a great party game.The replay value is really good. Some games, once you've beat it, it isn't fun to play again.However,there are so many different modes and different level computers that eventhe best player can still play and lose.Try the Intense setting ofcomputer players, and they will absolutely dominate.I would recommendthis game to anyone, even non-tennis fans, because it is very fun and easyto get into.The graphics are gorgeous, and everything you can hope forout of the Nintendo 64.Gameplay is well paced, and the framerate is veryfluid.No choppy action like in other games...cough...PerfectDark...cough...So with that said, I would say buy this game.If you haveother siblings who play with you, this game is an awesome multiplayer game.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island Review

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
(...) Instead of Mario and Luigi being the stars this time around, a group of Yoshis are the main characters.Baby Luigi has been kidnapped by the all-mighty Bowser, so it's up to Baby Mario and Yoshi to try and rescue Baby Luigi.That's right, Mario and Luigi are babies in Yoshi's Island.And there's not a princess to rescue for once.
Yoshi's Island includes 6 huge worlds that are loaded with many unique and interesting levels.There are 10 levels in each world.Each world has a mini-boss and a major boss that you must track down and defeat. (...)All you really have to do is get to the end of each of level and defeat all the bosses in order to beat the game.
On top of all of the fun gameplay, you can also add great graphics, sound, control, and replay value to Yoshi's Island's list.Just about every environment in Yoshi's Island is a treasure to look at.All the characters are well designed, and the backgrounds can range from crystal caves that flash, 3D-looking mountains, to eye-popping waterfalls made of water or lava.As for sound, most of the sound effects are cartoonish, but well done.Many of the music tunes are catchy, and none of them are bad.Control wise, Yoshi's Island is very easy to control.The controls aren't sluggish or overly responsive; it's easy to do anything in this game.
Finally, the replay value and fun factor are top notch for Yoshi's Island.The six years I've owned Yoshi's Island, I've started from the beginning, went all the way through the six worlds' levels, and beat the game several times, and I still haven't got tired of playing it.And I don't think I ever will!This game is THAT fun.
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island is, in my opinion, one of the best video games that have ever been made.Even though it's so much different from all the other Mario games that have ever been made, it is still a GREAT game.To make it short, this game is a classic!If you have a Super Nintendo and you like action/adventure games or Super Mario World, you've got to add Yoshi's Island to your collection!

The Incredible Hulk Review

The Incredible Hulk
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
While not perfect by any means, this GBA adaption of the The Incredible Hulk sucessfully captures the feel of the comic, and is better than it's home console bretheren.Played on an isometric point of view, you control The Hulk through 33 huge levels while walloping on the military and an array of tanks, missles, and other baddies.As you progress, you gain new abilities and attack combinations; meaning that you must play through the game aggressively to succeed.Also, many puzzle elements are involved, and while some are typical (a la flip to switch to keep going), it adds a more intelligent depth to the game instead of just bashing everything in sight.Boss battles are difficult as well, requiring you to strategize your attacks; all of this makes The Hulk much better than expected.Although the fighting elements can wear thin, there is still a bit of replay value to be had here with link cable abilities that add to the fun.The graphics are nicely rendered (and are almost reminiscent of the Hulk game released for 16 bit systems years ago), but don't push the system to it's limits.All in all, The Hulk is one of the better comic licensed games to be released for the GBA, which, along with the earlier released Iron Man, is better than Daredevil and X-Men: Reign of Apocalypse.Also recommended is Activision's Spider-Man games for the GBA which are nothing short of great.

It didn't take Nintendo long before they figured out that if they took all their cool characters and crammed them into a fighter with great graphics and sound that the end result would be an awesome game.The whole gang ishere, including the Mario Bros., Pikachu, Link, DK, Kirby, Fox, and Yoshi. Up to four players can pit themselves against each other in eight differentfighting arenas.The one player mode is equally entertaining, and thesecrets to be unlocked will keep you playing for hours.
GRAPHICS:SmashBros. sports a great look with bright colors, eye popping effects, anddetailed characters and backgrounds.Occasionally during the multiplayer,however, there is some slowdown.
CONTROL:The controls are extremelysimple and easy to master.But a lot of the moves strongly rely on theanalog joystick for execution, which can be frustrating in the heat ofbattle.
SOUND:Smash Bros.'s sounds will be music to your ears.Thetheme music which accompanies each stage flows nicely with the variouscharacter voices.The only cons are the annoying cries of Pikachu, whichmay appeal to Pokemon fanatics.

Your eventual goal is to fight your way through to a bizarre final boss character. Victory in this battle rewards you with another character to play, such as the scene-stealing Pok

Super Mario Brothers Deluxe Review

Super Mario Brothers Deluxe

This is an excellent adaption of the original game to the Game Boy Color. Now you can play the classic, history-making first game anywhere, even if you don't have a tv or plugg-ins! There are a whole lot of add-ons to thisgame. First of all, they changed some parts of the game for the better.Then they also added the lost levels of the game that can only be accessedwhen you reach a specific high score (of which I can't remember). They alsohave a racing activity with Boo the ghost and a challenge version of thegame where finding red coins and Yoshi's eggs are as important as finishingthe levels, too. And there's also a "verses" edition, where youcan play against one of your friends (or enemies, of course). Whoeveradapted this game to the Game Boy Color said "I want this version ofthe game to be even better," and they did a wonderful job. Thegraphics even look better! The Game Boy screen is too small to fit theentire layout of the levels onto it at the same time, so you have to lookaround using the "Up" and "Down" buttons. But that'sokay, 'cause that just adds on to the challenge of the game! I only gavethis video game 4 1/2 stars because you will still want to see yourselfplay on the big screen, but I would recommend this version of the classicgame to anyone who liked it back in 1985. You'll probobly like this versioneven better!

Super Mario Kart Review

Super Mario Kart
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
It's hard to think of where to begin in a review of a game as great as Super Mario Kart.Super Mario Kart was the first racing game of its type, and now there are a lot of games that have copies its formula, such as Looney Tunes Racing.
In Super Mario Kart, you can choose from many of the famous Nintendo mascots.They are: Mario, Luigi, Princess, Bowser, Donkey Kong Jr., Toad, Yoshi, and Koopa.Each of the racers are equipped with a go-cart, and they all have their own sets of strengths and weaknesses.For example, Toad has fast starts, but is weak and will get bumped around a lot.Bowser is big, so he has slow starts, but doesn't get bumped around that easily.And Mario doesn't have any major ups or downs, he's average in all aspects.
The trend that Super Mario Kart began in racing games is being able to use unlikely weapons such as turtle shells, bolts of lightning, banana peels, and more, against the other racers on the tracks.Each of these weapons have different effects.When a racer runs over a banana peel, or when a turtle shell hits them, they will spin out and come to a complete stop for a few seconds.Lightning causes all the players to shrink, which slows them down and makes them more vulnerable to being run over and flattened flatter than a pancake.Stars give the racer temporary invincibility, mushrooms allow for a short burst of speed, ghosts allow you to steal somebody else's weapon, and feathers will make you jump so high that Michael Jordan would even be jealous.
There are at least 20 tracks that are available to race on in Super Mario Kart.The tracks all have great variety.There are beach tracks, chilling ice tracks, normal dirt tracks, a road made of rainbow, haunted ghost tracks, and many more.
There are a few modes that are available in Super Mario Kart.First is the Mario Kart GP mode.This is the mode that you can race in a one-player game or a two-player game, in which you go up against several computer-controlled players.Once you complete a few laps and finish the race, the standings will come up.If you come in a good enough place overall, you have the chance of winning a bronze, silver, or gold trophy, and possibly opening up new tracks.That brings me to my next point.
In GP (Grand Prix) mode, there is a 50cc, 100cc, and a 150cc mode.50cc is the easiest, with 100cc and 150cc getting progressively harder since the computers will get much faster.While racing in the GP mode, you can use the various weapons and powerups I described earlier, and you just need to come in first place if you can.
Next is the Time Trial option.In Time Trial, it's just you against the clock.When you complete a race, your overall time will be saved on a list of the best times if you were fast enough.
In the VS. mode, you and a friend can race against each other on any of the tracks in a two-player game.This is a good way to bring up a lot of trash talking.
Finally and best of all, is the Battle Mode.In Battle, you and somebody else (it's two-player, you can't go up against the computer in Battle Mode), go to one of four specially designed tracks and duke it out against each other using the turtle shells, bananas, stars, and more.Both you and your opponent have three balloons circling your go-cart.Every time you get hit, you will lose a balloon.The first player to lose all three of their balloons, is the loser.
Everything about Super Mario Kart is simply classic.The graphics are colorful and well-rendered.This was the first game to use the Mode 7 graphics chip, and it was definitely a plus.All the characters are well designed, and the tracks themselves look detailed for a 16-bit game.The sounds sound just like a Mario game should, which is different, but great nonetheless.The music is very catchy and classic.As for control, it's a cinch to make your racer/battler do anything that you need them to do, without any frustration included.
Super Mario Kart is simply one of the best video games ever made!It's one of those games that NEVER gets old no matter how much you play it and it's so fun that fun isn't a good enough word for it.Whether you like racing games or not, you will love Super Mario Kart!I'm not a huge fan of racing games and it's one of my 10, if not 5, favorite video games of all time!!
If you have a Super Nintendo and don't have Super Mario Kart yet, get this game now!!Your SNES collection isn't complete without it!

Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga Review

Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga is perhaps one of the best GBA games we've received this year. Rich color and textures along with new gameplay elements make this a must have for the GBA!The third RPG in the Mario franchise we've seen.Mario and Luigi combines the elements of Paper Mario and Super Mario RPG to create yet another RPG masterpiece.
To start off are the graphics.The graphics presented to us are very well done.Rich colorful environments decorate this game in a way we've never thought possible on the GBA.Mario, Luigi and other characters are visually stunning.The animations in battle are simple, yet fun to look at.You'll no doubt be impressed by the graphics the first time around.
The music and other sound in this game is also quite good.Music from nearly all the Mario games is mixed into the bunch as well as introducing new tunes.The new tunes are quite remarkable, especially for the GBA.While some tunes get a little repetitive and loop around much too quickly, you'll quickly get used to it, as it is a minor flaw.
The story is that a witch named Cackletta from the neighboring Kingdom of Beanbean has stolen Princess Toadstool's beautiful voice and has replaced it with explosives. Each time Toadstool speaks you'll see a lot of symbols pop up in her dialogue box and then come down to the ground with an explosion.When Bowser comes to kidnap the Princess he soon realizes that she would probably ruin his castle.In short, Bowser decides to help Mario and Luigi.
What was even more remarkable are the voices in the game.Mario and Luigi don't scream, grunt, groan and moan for every action they do, but they're voices are still pretty well done.Bowser's voice is also impressive.Voices are very well done on this game so you shouldn't find yourself turning down the volume a whole lot.Mario and Luigi never really say anything; instead you hear them speaking gibberish a lot of the time when they communicate.
The game also presents a lot of moments that'll without a doubt make you laugh.Even the opening cinema and beginning of the game are pretty funny.So you'll find a lot of entertainment with this that I think you'll really love.
The battle system is quite different from your standard Turn-Based RPG as well as on the field.For example, the A-Button controls one character and the B-Button controls another.The start button switches Mario and Luigi around so that the other one leads (so if Mario is leading push start and Luigi steps in front).So they're both on the over world map.If Mario is leading the A-Button Controls him, and the B-button controls Luigi and vice-versa.
What's even more important is that in battle the A-Button ALWAYS controls Mario and the B-Button ALWAYS controls Luigi.This is always true in battle.There are four commands in battle: Solo Attack, Bros. Attack, Items and Run.The Solo Attack allows your character to attack of course.But remember that if it's Luigi you use the B-Button.Much like Super Mario RPG you've got "Timed-Hits".Pressing a button right before the attack connects causes a more powerful hit.Bros. Attacks are different. This is where Mario and Luigi do a duel attack to an enemy.You must execute by entering the right button commands as they appear on screen. If you decide you want to make them harder to pull off you can do them without the aid of button commands and have the speed at which the attack is executed at increased.Of course the harder one you choose the more damage it'll do.
What's also interesting is that you can dodge attacks.When an enemy comes to attack you, press the button that corresponds to that character to dodge the attack.So if an enemy attacks Mario you'd press A.
Mario and Luigi can also use techniques on the field.Luigi can jump on Mario's head and perform a high-jump and Mario can jump on Luigi's for a spin jump.They can also use hammers which they can smash blocks with too.
I've only about one or two cons with the game.One is you only have Mario and Luigi. No one else joins the party.This isn't really a con but for an RPG there are some RPGers who expect more characters to control. The other con however, is that they included the arcade Mario Bros.While this isn't necessarily bad, it's on EVERY Mario game on the GBA!It was nice at first but after the second Mario Advance game it just began to lose my interest.I'm sure many will probably overlook the Original Mario Bros. Game.
However, Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga is excellent for the GBA. It's the first original Mario game on the GBA and for that I'm glad.This is without a doubt one of the greatest GBA games we've ever seen before.

Although this game is not being released in the US for another month, I bought the imported Japanese version a few days ago (it's called "Mario Kart Advance" overseas), and I have been absolutely enthralled by it ever since my purchase.The graphics are phenomenal and really show off the capabilities of the Game Boy Advance's 32 bit processor.The backgrounds are lush and vivid, and the individual cars are detailed nicely.The music and sound effects are great as well, and the gameplay is true to the classic Super Mario Kart.For those that have played both the Super NES version and the N64 version, I'd say that this game is a bit closer to the original SNES game (which I personally thought was a better game than the N64 sequel).
I'd also like to mention that this game blows away Konami's Krazy Racers.I own both games, and wish that I had saved my money and bought only Mario Kart.Mario Kart has so much more depth that it puts Krazy Racers to shame.Mario Kart is the best game I have played for the GB Advance so far (Castlevania COTM is a close second).
If you're looking for a great, challenging go-cart racing game, don't waste your time with the Konami clone:wait for a month and buy Mario Kart Super Circuit- you'll be glad you did!

My cousin gave this game to me about a year ago because she got too old for it and I LOVED playing it at her house on my GBC. It took me a while to beat it but I thoroughly enjoyed the time! The good thing about the game is that you can switch to easy modefor little kids. (My 5 year old brother loves it!)Another good thing is that if you have a Fire Flower or Rabbit Ears and you are hit by an enemy, such as a Goomba,you are still Super Mario and you are not reduced to starting size like you are on Super Mario Bros. DX. The only cons about this game is that Mario can't jump very high and you can't be Luigi, Mario's bro. This game is a must have for Game Boy and for the WHOLE family!

There's a lot of griping about how disappointing Super Mario Advance (SMA) is. It's a 32-bit rehash of a 16-bit remake of an 8-bit game, blah blah. But lack of originality aside, is the game FUN? Yes it is.
SMA is classic Mario Bros. 2 and the original Mario Bros. and I can tell you, it's a helluva lot of fun. I always loved MB2, and this update adds a couple of new gameplay elements to make things a bit more interesting. And while it doesn't really push the GBA's technical limits, it does make use of the nice graphics engine in the handheld, for some cute special effects.
The original Mario Bros. that's included is great as well, especially in multiplayer. It gets a bit old in single player mode, but it's still fun nevertheless.
Anyway, it comes down to this - Super Mario Advance is a good game to add to your collection. It's nothing really new, but it doesn't change the fact that the games inside it are just as fun as the day they came out so many years ago, on their original platforms. Ignore the whining complaints about it, and check it out for yourself. I'm sure you'll like it.

If you want to buy one of the RETRO Classic NES carts Nintendo is offering this is definitely #1 on the list for sheer ease of play and memories. SUPER MARIO BROS is a perfect port of the NES game (minus one glitch at the end of the 3rd world that gave you infinite lives).Several have bemoaned you can not save your progress, and that's true ... but in the original game this was not an option.Learn the game well enough and you can WARP your way through the beginning levels anyway!You play as Mario or Luigi jumping your way through many worlds (levels) to get to save Princess Toadstool and her courtiers.Set in a land where evil mushrooms, turtles, fish and birds attack from all directions (okay 90% of them are on the right!).
The graphics and controls are the same ... no embellishments or "lost zones" or challenge modes ... just straight up classic MARIO and LUIGI in their first adventure back in the NES days.It's a very nice port, and I like the ability to take it with me on the road in my SP.It also brings back memories when I hook it up to the TV and get to see it normal size!
I've kind of gone off about paying $20 for Donkey Kong, Ice Climber, and Excite Bike (why not a compilation of those on ONE cart - especially when you can get the e-reader versions for $5).But this one is well worth it because you have many levels to play, and the ability to play 2 player!This is still a fun game, and I can't believe how instantly likeable it still is even after playing all the latest!Cute, simple, and fun!Any age can enjoy it!Highly reccommended - not just for nostalgia freaks.Though they will get a kick out of the perfect replica packaging - from the instructions, the cart, and the box -- it all looks old school!Trademark classic 80s game that helped build an empire around Italian plumbers attacking mushrooms!Wow!
