General Commentary and Game Overview
So Bowser isn't going to kidnap Princess Peach, but instead attack the Mushroom Kingdom eh? Well, at least he didn't kidnap the princess. But, Bowser appears to be so strong that Mario, Luigi, and Peach will have to go on an adventure to ring seven sacred bells which can get rid of Bowser's dark magic. Is this Bowser's last danger, or no? Maybe it will when I review this.

Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
As with many Mario platform games, you have to get to the goal without being defeated by enemies, and power-ups will assist you on the way. One power-up I liked in this game, is the Propeller Mushroom because we don't see it that often in fangames.

The goal this time, is a roulette which gives you an item depending in which picture you got. I think the map is okay, but you always start at the beginning which can be a little annoying.

There is three playable characters, which are Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach. This is nice, but they all have no differences between them. I found the bosses to be fought in a unique way, but they can a bit difficult. The first boss is even insanely difficult.
 
Graphics
9 / 10
Most of the graphics are from Super Princess Peach, which is nice and underused. Though, some graphics (like the ice blocks) sort of clashed with the others. Mario and Luigi's poses (in which some of them are edited) are very well edited and none of them looked weird.

Some effects were nice, especially the boss death effect (which is based in Partners in Time).
 
Sound
7 / 10
Some of the music are MIDI's, and some of them are "meh". I don't even think the title screen music is even that good.

Sound effects are nice and fitting, and (almost) none of them feel missing. Voices are okay, but they can get a little annoying after playing it a whole lot of times.
 
Replay
5 / 10
After you beat the game, you can try to get all of the red coins in which they don't do anything. But they don't save your Red Coins, so I guess you can forget about that.
 
Final Words
8 / 10
If you always loved 8 world games with nice stories, then you'll love this.
