Mario is Missing!

Graphics: 4 out of 10
Sound: 4 out of 10
Gameplay: 3 out of 10
Hardness factor: 5 out of 10
Overall: 3 out of 10
Graphics: Graphics are nothing spectacular, they are sort of like the
SMW series, but a little less work was put into them. Things are very
rarely detailed, and there's a varying color scheme throughout the game.
Sound: Sound was also okay. Nothing impressive of course but it isn't
the worst music in the world. SFX, though sparse, is also okay.
Gameplay: I remember taking this home after renting it long ago,
putting it in my SNES and playing it, and then thinking, 'what the heck
is this dumb?' What the heck is this indeed. You are supposed to
get various questions right about various places in the world and
then items in order to get Yoshi and get to the pipe at the end of
the level. This game gets long and is repetitive. The only good thing
about it is that it starts Luigi instead of Mario for a change.
Hardness factor: Not too hard, you can go back and answer questions
you missed so it's not really hard. However, it's boring to sit there
and try to learn so much about places around the world, especially
when all you want is a relaxing video game full of action.
Overall: 3 out of 10. The graphics and sound in this game are okay,
but the gameplay is pretty bad. Still, if you're dead set on playing
every Mario game, you will want to get this one.
