General Commentary and Game Overview
Not really much to say here; it's a horribly-designed "game" with little to no effort put into it.
 
Pros +None.
 
Cons -NONE of the graphics match. Nothing is kept in-style, and there is a horrible mixture of both 8-bit and 16-bit sprites. Also, the background hurts my eyes because it's probably the laziest background I have ever seen.

-In addition to the horrible mixture of 8-bit and 16-bit sprites, there is an even worse mixture of 8-bit and 16-bit sound effects, as well as voice clips ripped from Mario vs. Donkey Kong, which is a GBA game, which means terrible quality.

-Mario's physics aren't really all that great, either, and the game plays awfully slow. But at least it plays better than "Mario VS. The Koopas".
 
Impressions
Gameplay
3 / 10
Little to none. Very poorly-programmed physics and not much else to say. The game runs very slowly, which is strange since hardly anything happens on-screen.
 
Graphics
2 / 10
Terrible. Nothing is kept in-style and there is a horrible mixture of 8-bit and 16-bit sprites. No effort was put into any of the graphics; everything was just taken from random works and thrown in with no touchup whatsoever.
 
Sound
2 / 10
Similar to the mix of 8-bit and 16-bit graphics, there is also a mix of 8-bit and 16-bit sounds, as well as some sounds from the N64 version of Super Smash Bros., and voice clips from a GBA game (meaning horrible quality). There's also a MIDI of Fire Man's stage theme (from Mega Man 1) playing in the background, which doesn't seem to make much sense to me.
 
Replay
1 / 10
No. There is no value of that whatsoever. The only reason I'm giving this section a 1/10 is because apparently you can't go any lower than 1.
 
Final Words
2 / 10
You can CLEARLY tell that there was NO effort put into this game. And I didn't need to play much past the first part of the first stage (before the fading transition) to know exactly how I felt about this.

If you ever make a game, I'll be sure to hate on yours as much as you hated on this game.

You're just ranting on the game more than actually giving a kind review.

A reviewer must give his honest opinions when talking about a certain product, and if my opinions make me seem to you like I'm "ranting", then so be it, but I will not change my opinions about this game. If this game had a bit more effort put into it, my review probably wouldn't upset you as much.

That ruins the entire purpose of a review. A review elaborates on what's wrong or right about a game. The best you did on that was "____ means terrible quality". T_T

Keep in mind, people, that my reviews are based on two things: my own experiences with the game (NOT everyone else's), and brutal honesty. So if I say in my reviews whether or not I like a game (and explain why), and you don't like what I have to say, then too bad, because that's how I feel. And if any of my reviews aren't "elaborate enough", then that probably means the game I'm reviewing isn't good enough for an "elaborate enough" review.

Reviews aren't just rants. Reviewing and/or critiquing is for the benefit of the person of which you are critiquing so they can improve their work, not make them feel bad about what they tried putting effort into.

No. That just means you're a bad reviewer.
If you're going to review, actually elaborate. Otherwise, keep out and just do a comment. It'd still be as accurate as reviews like this.

As much as I like a good critique, this just wasn't one. There's a difference between being brutally honest and being a dick, and I think you use brutal honesty as a guise. Claiming I put no effort into this probably means you didn't play past the first section before you ranted. I saw no helpful ways to make my game any better, and thus this "review" was actually just pointless.

Next time you review, actually play the game a bit more please.

Alright, I'm done arguing about this. If you don't like my review, I can't really say I care.

Missing the point again??

Alright, let's see if I can put it like this - What if there's a new game whose creator follows that mentality? The game could suck all the way, and the creator's response would be "Well, I don't care what you think". Unless you're going to contribute properly with effort, don't at all! Instead, you're giving off a verbal middle finger to the viewer. This applies to all submissions, including reviews.

Why? You didn't even make this game. And he's just telling his opinions. Should I rate a game 1/10 and act like I rated it a 7/10? No. There's no reason to act like he did something wrong.

Thank you. At least SOMEONE on this website is mature enough to understand the concept of EXPRESSING OPINIONS.

Yes, I don't know why they're raging. Anyway, nice review, I enjoyed reading it.
EDIT: editing this comment because I don't want to end up making a year-late reply: you're very welcome. (For both of the comments you said thank you, including the one below) ;) You sure know how to make good reviews.
