Just more of the same, like the first two movies. Absolutely no attempt to learn anything from The Super Mario Bros. Movie, which was made for actual fans of the Mario franchise a year prior. I went into this movie expecting to see if any lessons had been learned, but still, no game references and music anywhere to be found. And using Live and Learn for a mere 15 seconds, compared to an entire sequence with the Starman theme, left a lot to be desired, to be honest. No music from the games keeps being a baffling decision. As a gamer, these movies have been nothing but disappointment after disappointment. I expect more considering how rich the Sonic franchise is, but the filmmakers always limit themselves on the reference and music department for some reason. Here's hoping for an animated Sonic movie someday.

Overall the most complete and full Mario Party experience you could possibly ask for. It's a bold move after Mario Party Superstars (2021) relied on most of the franchise's past, but here, in Super Mario Party Jamboree, new and original content is the norm, as there's lots of it in spades compared to reused content. You'll be spending hours and hours on the many modes available. Highly recommended!

While Mario Kart 7 is a good game, the only thing that holds it back in Single Player is the absence of VS. Mode. I'd give this game a higher rating considering all of the good stuff it actually does, but no Single Player VS. Mode when this is a handheld Mario Kart was an inexcusable decision from Nintendo.

Easily one of the best Mario games for the Wii. I've been playing this since it came out and playing it is always a joy. Insanely recommended if you don't have it yet! Short and simple, you're in for hours and hours of laughs and fun, be it single player or multiplayer.

Mario Kart DS is a blast to play, be it alone or with friends. There's five modes in this game: Grand Prix, Time Trials, VS, Battle and Missions. The replay value here is so high that you'll find yourself coming back to it often. Grand Prix is where you unlock stuff, and it is divided into three engine classes with one unlockable class (Mirror Mode) once you beat all of the previous classes (50cc, 100cc and 150cc). Even through 50cc is very slow, it's necessary to go through all the cups to unlock certain characters and karts. You'll have fun unlocking everything that the game has to offer. Time Trials is your usual race against the clock on a specific course to see if you can beat your time. VS is where the main appeal of this game comes in, as you can race with custom rules! You can play as whoever you want, in whatever kart (if you've completed Mirror Mode), on the course of your choosing. This mode is where the replay value of this game truly shines, as you can test your skills against the COMs with your own set of rules. Battle Mode is divided into two sub-modes: Balloon Battle and Shine Runners. Balloon Battle consists of popping all five of your opponent's balloons. You start with five balloons. To use balloons, either press SELECT or blow into the DS's microphone! As for Shine Runners, you must collect Shine Sprites around the battle arena. Periodically, racers without Shine Sprites will be taken out, so try to get as many shines as possible. And finally, Mission Mode. This mode consists of six levels, all of which are divided into 8 missions inside and a boss that you need to clear after beating all eight of the missions. Once you beat the boss, you move on to the next level. The missions here are very varied: from collecting coins to reaching the goal before other racers, this mode is pretty good. (As of this review's writing, online is no longer accessible, so it won't be covered in this review of the game) To close this review, Mario Kart DS is an amazing Mario Kart game that you definitely need to play. Easy recommendation from me to anyone who is still on the fence about buying this game.

Easily my favorite Mario Kart game ever. This game was my childhood and I remember spending hours upon hours playing this game on VS Mode. I spent so many hours of fun into this game. This game is a no-brainer and I absolutely suggest everyone who hasn't purchased it to rectify that immediately. 100/10. One of the most fun and addictive games ever created. Also, this game has the best character roster in any Mario Kart game.

10/10. This game is excellent! It's the perfect Mario Party experience for a handheld. A ton of unlockables and fun await you inside this game. It's your usual Mario Party game: you roll the Dice Block, move around the board collecting coins and purchasing Stars to increase your chances of victory. The minigames are one of the best aspects of this game, and they're all diverse as well: 4-Player Minigames, 2 vs. 2 Minigames, 1 vs. 3 Minigames and Battle Minigames (where you wager coins and whoever wins gets the most coins). This game has five boards in total, all with different mechanics implementing the same Mario Party formula. The boards consist of: Wiggler's Garden, Toadette's Music Room, DK's Stone Statue, Kamek's Library and Bowser's Pinball Machine. You'll never find an end to the fun and you'll find yourself coming back to these boards for even more Star-hunting. What's surprising about Mario Party DS is the Story Mode, however, as it is in this mode where you will unlock a majority of the unlockables. In fact, this is the mode where you unlock Bowser's Pinball Machine. But anyways, the story revolves that Bowser shrunk everyone down using the Minimizer. It's a solid story overall. This aren't all of the details in this particular Story Mode. I'm keeping it short and sweet so we can move onwards to Minigame Mode, and you can discover everything else in Story Mode once you play the game. Now, for Minigame Mode, this is where you play game modes revolving all around Minigames. This is also where Free Play is. This mode, as usual, let's you play every Minigame that you've unlockable. Yes, you heard that right. You have to unlock a majority of the Minigames by playing either Party Mode or Story Mode. Other than a few luck-based minigames, a lot of them are really fun and entertaining! Regarding Minigame game modes, there's a lot of variety here. There's Step it Up, Battle Cup, Score Scuffle, Boss Bash and Rocket Rascals. You'll have a blast with these modes. To close up this review, there's Gallery. All of your unlockables can be found here. By collecting MP Points (Mario Party Points) as you play through the game, you'll unlock Character Figures, Boss Trophies, Board Features and Badges. These are unlocked by either playing Story Mode with an specific character or by just racking up MP Points. You can also view story sequences, view your scores in minigames and various game modes, listen to the game's magnificent soundtrack and view which Minigames are in which set. To wrap up this review, this is a very solid Mario Party game. You'll have a hard time putting this one down. Absolutely recommended if you still don't own it yet. Go out there and boy, buy this game if you haven't already!

My first videogame ever. This is one of those classics that is always refreshing to go back to. This is game is awesome. Four Mario games in one: Super Mario Bros., Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels and Super Mario Bros. 3. All games have been fully remade in gorgeous 16-bit graphics thanks to the Super Nintendo Entertainment System's improved capabilities. Super Mario Bros. 3 is my favorite of the bunch. I used to play that one so much as a child. Super Mario All-Stars is a HUGE thumbs up from me. Absolutely recommended for anyone who hasn't played it yet. Want more? There's also a special cartridge that released the whole package of this game bundled with Super Mario World. Yes, you can get the WHOLE Mario experience for the SNES in one whopping cartridge. The game is aptly named "Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World". In regards to Super Mario World, I recommend this version the most due to Luigi having a unique sprite set that differentiates him from Mario. Verdict: 5/5 (Go play this if you haven't already. What are you waiting for?)

Still one of the greatest videogames ever made. Please play this game if you haven't, be it on one of its numerous re-releases, original SNES hardware or even the GBA port. You're missing out if you don't play this absolute masterpiece.
