General Commentary and Game Overview
If you are a harcore Tetris player, then do you think you can do it without rotating the blocks? This game is what your mind has, because you can't rotate them, but after a few turns, something will show up.
 
Pros +Neat gimmick
+Includes NSMB graphics
+Seems to work fine
 
Cons -Tetris blocks fall too quickly if you hold down
-Kuribo's shoe and effects clash
-Background seems to scroll a little too fast
 
Impressions
Gameplay
8 / 10
It plays like Tetris, but with a neat gimmick where you can't rotate the blocks. But, after a few turns, Kuribo's shoe will fall down and crash the blocks down. One problem that I found, is that you can't make lines, unless Kuribo's shoe came down. It's probably to make it more challenging, but I wish you programmed that in.

Anyway, there's those metal blocks, in which it can be a little annoying because they don't fall from the Kuribo's shoe.

The scoring appears to work fine, and if you make enough lines, you'll level up until 15 (I didn't get to there, but whatever) since the blocks won't be pushed by Kuribo's shoe.
 
Graphics
8 / 10
Most of the graphics are from NSMB, which is nice as they are underused. The blocks look good and the decorations are good, but what's with the gray line that is in front of Mario's eye?

But, Kuribo's shoe clashes and even the effects for destroying the blocks clash too. The background minorly clashes, but it also seems to scroll a bit too fast.
 
Sound
6 / 10
The music is okay, but it's the only one in the whole game. Otherwise, I don't have anything to say about the music.

Sound effects were nice, but I think there is better choices for them. Especially the level up sound.
 
Replay
4 / 10
Well, if you want to get to level 15, that's replay value. But otherwise, you'll probably be playing this for a few times, before you feel like you need to do something else.
 
Final Words
6 / 10
If you want to try playing Tetris without rotating them, try this out then.
