"Brutal Mario"
Not a typical name, you think that the game will not be that brutal, but I leave that part to you.
The hack is really original, as the complete game involves you into several funny scenarios and enemies, as well as some incidents, such I will not mention here.
A fact that is amazing about this game are the customized sprites, you start with some classical enemies, but as you keep advancing on the game, you'll find out that there are INCREDIBLY (that's the term) customized bosses; at the beginning the bosses will be the typical Koopas, on different scenarios, but when you reach more advanced levels, you'll face some other games (I ignore it, and I'm not interested on knowing) bosses, completely different to the now-known enemies.
The levels are designed softly, they are pretty fluid, and they are enjoyable to play; also, the gameplay will always vary, as in some levels you will find mazes to solve, and some tricky situations as well, what I mean is, that running after Yoshi DO IS a tricky situation, but it's funny to experience.
The graphics simply doesn't disappoint. The levels are Yoshi-Island-Designed, and I must say that it's a nice combination, the ambience produced by such graphics is simply enjoyable, of course, it all gets upset when the whole world becomes blue, then red, and then black, but this whole set of changes (weird changes) makes this hack what it is, without all these.. things (I don't find a word for them) the game produced here wouldn't be that great.
The only small thing that should be changed here is the music, the same music is used for the whole map area, and that's disturbing, it's an enjoyable track, but it isn't logical for a game to use the same soundtrack over and over, for the rest, this is a masterpiece, as well as some other hacks.
The point is, that the game is enjoyable, the cinemas are funny and the overall is great.
Oh, and one more thing:
I'm terribly sorry, but i do not speak (neither read, know or understand) Japanese, so i can't fully review the storyboard, if there is any Japanese in the public, i would thank him to translate the story for me.
That was today's review, if you want more, you don't need to ask for it, it's already on the way!
Have a great day.
And stay tuned!
