General Commentary and Game Overview
This is old, and it shows.
It feels lazilly slapped together, is way too difficult, and the ending is just terrible.
I know we all need to start somewhere, but did the world really need this game?
 
Pros Controls are okay, if a bit slippery.
Nice music.
 
Cons Really, really difficult.
Every time you die, you start the whole game over again.
Rage quit inducing.
Bowser has way too much health.
Lazy ending.
The stages all feel the same.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
3 / 10
Holy hell.

This game is hard. Really hard. Really, really hard. It made me want to ragequit after playing it for five minutes. Bowser takes a lot, and I do mean A LOT of hits. He has no lifebar either, you just need to blindly fire at him until he goes down, only to do it again in the next stage.

Every time you die, you go back to the very beginning. This game would have been a lot less annoying had this not been the case. As of now, it just makes you want to quit after dying and restarting over a few times.

The controls are kind of floaty, and Mario feels like he's walking on ice. You can't duck, which is annoying, because it could actually be a bit helpful. Otherwise, Mario controls pretty decently.
 
Graphics
6 / 10
The graphics are alright.
Most of this game's graphics are ripped/edited from Mario All Stars. Nothing revolutionary, but nothing too terrible. Some sprites do clash a bit, though. I don't see what's so "Giga" about this Bowser, though. He seems normal sized to me.
 
Sound
6 / 10
Pretty good music, decent sound effects. Nothing much to add there.
 
Replay
1 / 10
I really see no reason to replay this game. I can barely even find a reason to play it for the first time in the first place.
 
Final Words
3 / 10
This game is frustrating. If you can finish it without getting the least bit annoyed, you are a better person than me.

Use fireballs and stay still. Bowser will come right to you, but the fireballs will still affect him faster than your HP will deplete.
Congrats. You win.

Um, no. It works for the first level, but the rest...no...
