Our 12 year old grandson and 7 year old great grandson got this game for Christmas. They bring it over when they come to see us and ask us to play them. Gramps likes to play so went to Best Buys and bought one. It keeps him and Grams busy. Some times Gramps gets upset but it is fun and keeps your minds going. I would recommend getting the bigger control pads as the small ones are to small for adults as you are always hitting the button that stops and you have to reset the game and go back in to it.

This is a very fun Party Adventure Game and a good ice breaker to get the party going! It is fun and competitive with many levels, characters, and mini-games. Played it for many hours and never get bored!

This is the first mario game i’ve played in years. It is very good.

OMG this game took me back to my child hood. I could stop playing this game on a long biller train ride to Porto Portugal. The special affects where amazing and I was locked on the game. It’s crazy how it’s been years since I played Mario and then boom was able to pick this up quick.

I wanted a game I could play with my fiance that reminded us of the games we grew up playing. She was so excited to play this game (I was too)! It definitely has the look and feel of the old school games with modern graphics and updates which I love. I thought this would be an easy game but I was wrong - when you play with 2 players, BOTH players are on the screen at the same time moving independently of each other and can run into each other, jump into them, hit them with turtle shells, etc! It adds a really difficult element to the game (in a good way). I tease my fiance that if we can survive playing this game, our marriage will be just fine.

It’s so much fun for all ages. The difficulty is adjustable and it’s similar to the DS game. So much fun!

It’s an iconic game. Kid should be playing Mario and Pokémon and Spiro the Dragon over apps that charge tokens and diamonds. Save yourself a lot of money by just giving your kids a game system that isn’t connected to the Internet.

Great game! I love the additional characters that make it easier for younger players to enjoy the game.

I got this for me I actually love to play with my grandkids we have fun

Great family game, kids and adults love it. Would definitely recommend.

Its super mario what else can i say haha. I very much enjoy just sitting back and just reliving memories.

Fun game. Old school side scrolling Mario. Probably best to wait for a discount given how many other entries have released since this one… but very enjoyable nonetheless.

I love this game! It brings me back to my childhood, pretty challenging which is awesome!

Having been away from Nintendo consoles for some time, I had only played Mario Odyssey upon getting my Switch a couple of years ago and was on the mood for some other Mario games. I was excited that they’re stilling making 2D/side scrolling Mario games, so picked this up when it was on sale. Overall, it’s impressive and amazing to see how far these games have come. The animation is of course very strong, but I feel like there hasn’t been a big leap in quality in the last couple of generations of Nintendo consoles. Also, I find some of the game choices weird on this one, like not being able to keep Yoshi for more than a level at a time, and the levels that you do find him in are pretty sporadic. I don’t know if it’s just me, but I do find some levels very needlessly frustrating as well.

One of the best mario games ever made, multiplayer is really fun.

My daughter and I would also love to play this game. Remind me of when I was a kid and played with my brothers!

A lot of fun for groups and decent length of play, well worth the purchase.

Awesome side scrolling Mario game. A must have game if you are Mario fan- I like the way that it’s a classic side scroller rather than a 3-D game such as Mario Odyssey, as side scrollers are easier to navigate for me. Since I was a fan of the 8-bit and 16-bit Mario games, this reminded me of those and brought back wonderful memories.

Brings me back to when I was a kid for NES good deal for retro fans

It's side scrolling Mario, need I say more!? Some people feel this style of Mario, (The New Super Mario) is played out and has been over used. I say it's still super fun and as long as they keep making them I'll be playing them. Do yourself a favor and pick it up, especially if you missed this one and the Wii U. This version has all the DLC from the Wii U version including Super Luigi.
