Overall the good seems to outweigh the bad - it is just unfortunate that this couldn't have stamped itself with its own brand of originality, rather then borrowing so heavily from somewhere else.

This is more than can be said about many of the 'faithful' Mario clones, which both look and play rather pathetically in comparison to this.

The good news is that, while the gameplay doesn't stray from the Mario formula an awful lot, the game itself does have a lot of polish. Even the old 'my girlfriend got kidnapped - I have to save her' storyline is used.
