In response to a different review... are you for real? I have never seen a level of incompetence more than that. It makes sense why the lady at the counter would laugh at you. Firstly, it's a video game, it doesn't have to include those people. Also, it's a MARIO game. It literally says that on the box. It doesn't even have to be realistic, it's a video game. Secondly, you left a terrible review, over a game not having characters? Not the gameplay, just, the characters? Anyway, I'll give this game three stars. While I do believe the game is fun and interesting, there's simply not enough replay value in it.
