General Commentary and Game Overview
this is a really charming fan game and it wears its inspiration like a badge of honor, the levels loosely follow super mario bros 3 design. and everything about this game makes it feel like it came from a early flash game website. it kinda reminds me of old mario bros by Ray Beckham
 
Pros it feels like a flash game
 
Cons it feels like a flash game
 
Impressions
Gameplay
7 / 10
jumbo marios controls are really floaty but im pretty sure thats intentional. i keep on clipping into blocks which often leads to unfair deaths. and you often have to make leaps of faith and hope you don't fall into a bottomless pit or hit a spike trap / enemy.
 
Graphics
10 / 10
the graphics are really cute especially the way marios big form is drawn, makes him look like a little gremlin. i want to hug and squeeze him
 
Sound
10 / 10
sounds are pitched down, and the music is midi
 
Final Words
9 / 10
despite looking and feeling like it was slapped together in a day, this game is pretty solid. the level design is ok, the art style makes everything (including mario) look like creatures i wanna squeeze. and this game does a really good job at paying homage to early flash games. and even has a border less mode
