General Commentary and Game Overview
I downloaded this game thinking that this would be a Hello clone, like the other reviewers warned me. Turns out I downloaded it and found out it was exactly what the other reviewers told me. You know what they say, you get what you get and you don't get upset. I didn't get upset. I got angry that this game was bad.
 
Pros -Functional.
-Decent graphics.
-Excellent sounds and soundtrack.
 
Cons -Unedited Hello SMB1 engine.
-Graphical bugs.
-Same level over and over and over and over.
-No replay value.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
2 / 10
Slippery normal Hello engine gameplay. My tip to play would be to avoid running unless you need to get over a large gap.

The first level is an edit of the first level of the Hello SMB1 engine (which in turn is an edit of level 1-1 from SMB1). Almost every other level is an edit too, except for the last level.

After you beat all 4 levels, there is a message saying "there are no more levels", and the game repeats. You can close the game now.

Metroidmetroid, you could at least fix up the Hello SMB1 engine's bugs, or made up new, original levels. If you did that, I think I would rate this section higher than a 2.
 
Graphics
6 / 10
Traditional SMB1 graphics, which aren't used so much in fangames. However, the clouds look like they are JPEGs, and the desert ground tiles cut off (which is basically the filler tile for the ground in SMB3). I like your edits of the enemies and blocks, but if I hit the enemy with a fireball or shell, the colour changes back to the above ground normal look.

Cool graphics, but some cleaning up would do.
 
Sound
6 / 10
The game has sounds from the original 8-bit trilogy, and some sounds from the engine from SMAS. The soundtrack is nice, from SMB1 and one NSMB desert theme.

The sounds maybe overused, but at least they are good.
 
Replay
1 / 10
Play value is like replay value. This game has no play value and not very good in the first place, so why would I wanna play this again?
 
Final Words
2 / 10
An ordinary Hello clone that does not deserve your time.
