I decompiled the game to find a very well-kept secret...Hotel Mario wasn't intended to be the kiddiest Mario game. It was, in fact, supposed to be the most serious and realistic. I did a little research and discovered that Philips decided to scrap the engine early in development because of the forseen damage to childrens' minds, whihch is why the game we know today is as simple as it is. I think that this discovery means something to all of us.
