General Commentary and Game Overview
Well, as you can see, I played Mario Bros: Just For Fun: Super Battle Bros with my cousin, and now I'm playing The Purple Coin. Both of these games made by Miles are great - but I'm focusing on reviewing The Purple Coin.

For my first time playing, I got collected, but I managed to play better by hypnotizing some collectors and hiding in several places. Some of the moves are taken from Super Battle Bros, but it's probably okay.

Let's see the pros and cons.
 
Pros + Another great game by Miles. 'Nuff said.
+ Great engine
+ Many fun maps to play
+ Batbro mode is personally my other favorite mode. I was able to complete my first game in this mode, as said in the comments.
+ Awesome graphics and effects that would leave me coming back for more.
+ The moves when I invade a Collector bro were both new and old from Super Battle Bros and the game itself. They are just as epicsauce as a superstar!
 
Cons - Some people noticed that sometimes when the game crashes, they lost all their saved data, but not me.
- The ghost house background wasn't animated
 
Impressions
Gameplay
10 / 10
The gameplay was exceptional. It was a simple concept - try to hide from the Collector bros as a purple coin. I also loved the traps that will buy me extra time to escape.

The Batbro mode, as said by me, was also excellent. I played it for the first time, and I survived my first try! The moves are great, and also I can hide from the enemies by sleeping on the ceiling.

The controls aren't so wonky (read: Confusing/bad) for me.
 
Graphics
9 / 10
SMW bros, the SMW styled Batbro, and the coins look decent. Still, I don't see why the ghost house background wasn't animated like in the original Super Mario World.

Also, the tiles and the backgrounds (including the snow and space ship) go with everything in the game, and I don't mind the clash with SMB3 and SMW. The eyecandy brightens up the game unlike other minigames made by other people other than Miles.
 
Sound
10 / 10
Mario's voices, Luigi's voices, the SMW sounds, and some from Super Battle Bros = epic awesomesauce. They sound great. Since I didn't listen to the level music (I turned it off in Options) while playing the game, I cannot rate on the music.

Still, the sounds and the music are great, as I can think.
 
Replay
10 / 10
Playing this over and over again. I'm being too addicted this time. I cannot stop playing it - like what the other reviewers said.
 
Final Words
10 / 10
Wait...wait..WHAT? Another great game made by Miles? I played his games before and they were great, and so as The Purple Coin. Get the game now!

...Oops. Forgot that that was supposed to be animated when I first added it and never looked back since first release. Oh well.

Cool. Can you do it without ever getting hit?
