General Commentary and Game Overview
So I decided to play a Christmas themed game, because, well, it's Christmas, the happiest and snowiest time of year! So I stumbled across this game, and played it. Looking at the title, I thought it was going to be a joke game. How wrong I was, because this game is too good to be a joke game.

However, I DID find a few flaws. Some of them were somewhat annoying, some aren't much effective. But even with those flaws, is this game really that good, as what most people say? Let's find out!
 
Pros -Level design looks great
-There are some secrets well hidden
-Graphics are beautiful
-Great selection of music
 
Cons -Physics are quite slippery
-Some graphical or musical errors
 
Impressions
Gameplay
6 / 10
 So, the level design is great overall. There's many great enemy placements, and there's also enemies from SMB2. There's even a secret in the level that gives you something that helps you a lot in this demo level.

However, the physics are quite slippery, and I'm thinking it must be because of the snowy landscape, and ice, but the physics in the air are also quite slippery as well, so it mustn't be the ice. That issue is annoying, because I remember some times I died because I slipped off the edge. Also, when Mario runs, he runs quite slow.

And, the level is pretty hard.
 
Graphics
9 / 10
 There's great choices of graphics. Clear pipes, snowy effects, and good looking tilesets make this game look beautiful and gives the game lots of uniqueness. I don't even find the mix of SMB2 and SMB3 clashing at all!

Unfortunately, it'd be perfect if there weren't graphical errors. Everytime Mario picks up a vegetable from the ground, the vegetable looks like it's far from the ground, which looks sort of funny. Also, the effect for when you get an extra life looks unnecessarily huge.
 
Sound
6 / 10
 There's good choices of music, like DK Summit from Mario Kart Wii, and the World 3 map from New Super Mario Bros Wii. But I also found some musical glitches here and there. After the music is done playing, it restarts like a media player. Also, sometimes when you die, instead of the usual Mario death jingle that plays in almost EVERY Mario game, you get... sounds of snow falling?
 
Replay
7 / 10
 It's only one level, but it has quite some replay value, believe it or not. It's a fun level to play, and there's even a multiplayer mode if anyone else wants to play the game along with you.
 
Final Words
7 / 10
 If you're looking for a game to play this holiday, play this one.
