General Commentary and Game Overview

Yay, another Hello Engine clone. This one is actually a full game though. But just because it has content doesn't mean that its quality content. It has a vast assortment of glitches, uses assets that came stock with the Hello Engine like sound and visuals, and even mixes different music filetypes. A few of those mentioned glitches are, when you collect 100 coins no lives are awarded, some music glitches up and plays over each other. It is in general just a mess.

Pros	-Its actually a full game! -Adds a few new enemies!
Cons	-Annoying bugs and glitches. -No save feature! -Doesn't even use a recent engine version. -Same graphics used by the stock engine. -Same stock sounds used by the base engine. -Some enemy spam.

Impressions

Gameplay 1 / 10	Well if you've experienced one Hello clone then you've experienced this game. It adds a few new enemies but other than that the gameplay sticks to what the engine itself had to offer. Some of the levels are a bit better than most games that use this engine, but it feels rushed in some parts and also has really cheap parts where you have to blindly jump and get killed by a firebar. There is even enemy spam. This doesn't make the game difficult! When the game is launched you are thrown right into level one. With no title or any down time, with a Goomba right in front of you. In short, the gameplay is bland and terrible.
Graphics 3 / 10	Same boring graphics used by the SMB1 Hello Engine. But what I don't understand is this. There are also graphics from different games with varying styles. Some graphics are from SMB3 and some from SMW, and some from the GBA SMW why do this? Clashing graphics are very unsatisfying and look bad. You could have at least redone the sprites to fit the SMB1 theme, which you do in fact mostly stay true to.
Sound 4 / 10	Same old SMB theme that we have all heard over and over and over and over. The sound effects are also stock ones used in the base engine. At least throw in some new ones! Selecting Continue also causes the music to play over the SMB theme. VERY annoying.
Replay 1 / 10	As soon as I ran out of lives I immediately closed the game and deleted it from my computer. I had no intention to replay that horrid game.

Final Words

This game uses an old Hello engine with little effort to add new content. The level design is poor and the same could be said about the music selection. You barely have to play to find any glitches and or flaws.
