Gameplay

It has a really nice game play; the game is so easy to pick up. The game isn't too hard, you could complete it in 5-15 hours depends on how fast you are. It's a really fun addicting game you could complete it a few times before getting bored. The controls are easy to grasp even if you don't read the manual.

Multiplayer

It works like the old Mario Bros the first one to get so many coins wins you can knock each other into enemies to lose life’s gain power ups and even choose the difficulty level.

Also if you want to play the classic Mario Bros alone you can play it 1 player and see how far you can get. The stages change as in get harder so be on your toes.

Characters

These are the characters playable in the game are:

Mario
Stats: Power-4 Speed-4 Jump-4
Mario is good if you are new because of his balanced stats, the majority of the people prefer Mario over the rest.

Luigi
Stats: Power-3 Speed-3 Jump-5
He has a great jump most people choose him because of this. Also he has fairly good speed and power.

Toad
Stats: Power-5 Speed-5 Jump-2
Has great power and speed and has really poor jump.

Peach
Stats: Power-2 Speed-2 Jump-3
Peach is weak all round, she's best at jumping though. When holding down the jump button she floats for a limited time. I recommend using her as little as possible.
