"Bowser's Mercenaries", it's good name, but it has not much to do with the game.
As soon as you start to play, you feel comfort with the scenery, and with the level design, it's all correctly put on it's place, but there are some aspects that are remarkable on the game properties.
One of them is the fact of that the same music is used on almost every level (except for underground and bonus levels), it's a good tune, but it gets very old after a few levels.
Another thing, is that some zones are graphically repetitive, what I mean, is that some levels use the same kind of floor, on the whole level extension, but that can be let go, as the level design is great.
The difficulty is perfectly established, it can be even played by beginners, but that doesn't mean that it's very easy, it simply is balanced.
Speaking about the sprites, nothing new was added, not even a boss has been added yet, but it should be a fact that it will be there.
About the story, we find a not-so-typical one:
Ugly red plumber goes to rescue princess, but boat gets glitched (glitched?, now, that's cool) and ugly red plumber reaches beach.
Yup, not complicated, not sophisticated, simple. That's what we need, perfect, it isn't a ripoff of the original SMW story, and it isn't too dramatic; just, great.
There are very simple things to improve, such as adding a boss, correcting some spelling, and fitting in some in-game warp pipes (pipes that don't change the screen).
But for the rest, the hack is enjoyable, it's fun to play, it isn't frustrating as several other hacks and the tropical ambience given from the beginning makes you feel comfortable, simply fun.
This one's a good choice, as several hacks, it isn't a masterpiece, but trust me, it's worth your time.
Just have fun.
And have a great day.
