Impressions
Gameplay
5 / 10
Basically, it's your typical platform that uses the infamous platform engine. While the engine isn't that good, the game appears to use it right. You even have a weapon, which is a modified gun engine that is built in the platform engine. There is three enemies, which are Goomba, Mario clone, and a Yoshi clone. Sadly, they all do the "run left and right" thing, which creates a limited variety of enemies.

The map engine works okay, but you are forced to do every level, meaning there is no optional levels. I know some games have this feature, but at first sight, it looked like there was optional levels.

The levels were okay, at least there were different environments. Especially the water one, which seems to work perfectly. Though, there is way too many coins.
 
Graphics
6 / 10
Glady, there are no clashing graphics. The HUD looks fine, and I think the enemy death sprites were okay. But Luigi lacks a jumping and a attacking sprite.

Otherwise, nice and fresh graphics. Although, they are those overused SMW graphics.
 
Sound
8 / 10
There is music tracks here, which I think they fit well and are good on the ears. All of the music are SMW ones, meaning there is no clashing.

The sound effects are also from SMW, and they sound fitting and are good. I didn't find anything that is missing sound effects.

Though, SMW sounds tend to be overused, so I'll give this a 8.
 
Replay
3 / 10
With all of the forks and bonus areas the levels had. I could back to it, just to look for the bonus areas. But, without any collectables, there isn't a lot do if you found all of the bonus areas.
 
Final Words
5 / 10
Supernova's first fan game may not be as good as his later ones, but it uses the infamous platform engine in a good way.
