levels with a portal gun is an amazing experience. There's very little, if anything, not to like about this ambitious cross-copyright-infringing game! Playing the original Super Mario Bros. And if you're really hungry for something crazy, try the four player co-op mode for a massively entertaining experience.Īnalysis: Are you sold yet? Thought so. Also: customizable character colors, 33 different hats, and downloadable map packs.

The best part of Mari0 is that it doesn't stop with a simple "Mario plus portals" premise.
You can use this ability to slingshot yourself to crazy heights, slip through narrow passageways, or send mindless goombas to an easy lava-based doom.
