General Commentary and Game Overview
This game requires a lot of forgiveness ( read: remember where the buggy ground is ) and memorizing how to stomp without taking damage and how the 2.5-D obstacles and foes are actually placed ( hint: don't trust the shadows or appearance ).

It's also more fun with at least 2 sharing keyboard or something like that.

I do admit I like playing this solo and having fun stomping foes as I wait for 'player 2' to die.

Otherwise... it would be a good time to run away from this buggy game.
 
Pros Some maps are fun epic stomp playgrounds.
4 of 5 bosses are very fun once learned.
Battling in multiplayer 'can' be fun.
2.5-D maps are large and spacious for 4.
2 players 'can' make this very fun.
 
Cons Some maps have areas with buggy foot traps.
First 'Bowser' fight is very unfair.
Stomping without being hit is difficult.
Needs more bosses and multiplayer maps.
Needs more configuration options.
 
Impressions
Gameplay
6 / 10
Regrettably some areas ( snow map ) in multiplayer have some hills of doom... step on the buggy hills back there and proceed to watch your character get stuck until killed by something.
 
Graphics
7 / 10
'Super Mario All-Stars' style that works well enough. A few character sprites look very rough.
 
Sound
8 / 10
Multiplayer music choices are decent and calming or fun to listen to. Boss themes are very fun especially after the first 'Bowser' fight.
 
Replay
6 / 10
Buggy physics sadly kills most players desire to continue with this game... unless willing to forgive and brave past the first 'Bowser' fight leading to some fun battles. Multiplayer can get interesting on the maps that are functional.
 
Final Words
6 / 10
I really like this game since despite unfair physics- it's got some nice 3-D boss battles and multiplayer... if one can memorize the buggy mechanics then this game is a lot of fun.
