General Commentary and Game Overview
A very interesting game and a great time killer. It has very fun bosses and a couple of awesome game modes, too. Plus, you can't go wrong in a game where you play as a Lakitu attacking Bullet Bills, right?
 
Pros +Neat and original storyline and fun gameplay
+Awesome power-ups
+There are different types of Bullet Bills(which includes, but are not limited to: Bullet Bills, Banzai Bills, King Bills, the YI Bullet Bill, the Abucted Toad Bullet Bill)
+Very polished engine
+Good music and sound effects
+Trophies which adds points to replayability.
+Very interesting and unique bosses
+Online High Score System
+Non-blurry looking Full Screen.
 
Cons -The "You Died" Font, which if I'm not mistaken is the Hey Gorgeous Font. It doesn't seem fitting.
-The Shine Sprite is a bit to overpowered. I once got a health of 10,000,000+ and a score of 10,000. I did not die and just exited the gameplay mode so it did not ask me to register for the online high scores. (I got a health of 50+ -> Shine Sprite -> 2500+ -> 5,000,000+ -> Life Mushroom -> 10,000,000+)
-Sounds are sometimes irregular in volume in comparison to the other sounds present in the game.
-A little glitch I found(refer to the gameplay section)
 
Impressions
Gameplay
9 / 10
The engine is really polished. The only glitch I found was with the Random Item Shroom which was falling down, it was a Red Shell but after I got the item, the Red Shell just fell down like the Shroom instead of acting like an immovable shield. Other than that, it was really good.

Another thing worth noting is the first part Kracko fight in the Story Mode, I like the fact that Lakitu had to fall to the ground which was very interesting. However, Lakitu felt slippery to control when he was on the ground since he kept sliding at times. But, on the second go, I was used to it and was able to beat the boss with no problems.

I also love the final boss fight and his attack pattern. Why did I not guess that was the final boss when I saw the boss before that?
 
Graphics
10 / 10
I usually am not a fan of SMW graphics but this time, I thought it was fitting. The only bad sprites to be found in the entire game is the odd boss with the poorly done BG(though I know that was intentional). So with that, I gave its graphics a perfect 10.
 
Sound
8 / 10
Went well with the levels and I like the title screen theme. But, like I said, some are irregular in volume. An 8/10 for the sounds.
 
Replay
10 / 10
A really fun game and a great time killer with cool gameplay modes. And it has trophies for doing stuff in the game(I just need two, No Survivors and the final one and I have no idea to get the No Survivors Trophy). Automatically, this game's replay factor deserves a perfect 10.
 
Final Words
9 / 10
Another great game by SDB. Download it now. You won't regret it.

Thanks for the review!
To get the no survivors trophy, you have to complete a game without letting any enemies survive. A good strategy is to ram your face into each enemy that comes, then immediately shoot it. It's pretty tough, but I have done it, so it's not impossible.
