Super Mario Land<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nMario\u2019s first adven\u00adture out\u00adside of the Mush\u00adroom King\u00addom just hap\u00adpens to also be his first in the portable sphere. Mario Land is a ser\u00advice\u00adable adven\u00adture filled with the weird and dif\u00adfer\u00adent (Tatan\u00adga, any\u00adone?), but it\u2019s still good Mario. The mechan\u00adics resem\u00adble SMB<\/span>, and the graph\u00adics keep things famil\u00adiar enough despite space\u00adships and pyra\u00admids mak\u00ading an appear\u00adance. Keep this ear\u00adly Mario as an option on the go.<\/span><\/p>\n

Score: 3.5 out of 5<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Super Mario Land 2: 6 Gold\u00aden Coins<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\n<\/span>Mario\u2019s sec\u00adond hand\u00adheld adven\u00adture is a step up in terms of \u2026 every\u00adthing. There are more pow\u00ader ups, more stages and more ene\u00admies to take on, includ\u00ading Wario, who is intro\u00adduced to the world at large here. The six tit\u00adu\u00adlar gold\u00aden coins mean more places to explore and more to do, which is always help\u00adful in a Mario title. The con\u00adtrols get a lit\u00adtle crisper and the graph\u00adics are gor\u00adgeous for a hand\u00adheld title. This is one to own, even if you\u2019re not a super Mario fan.<\/span><\/p>\n

Score: 4 out of 5<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Mario Kart: Super Circuit<\/span><\/strong><\/span>
\nMario\u2019s first for\u00aday into the hand\u00adheld kart\u00ading side of things is a mixed bag. On the one hand, it\u2019s Super Mario Kart final\u00adly on a hand\u00adheld sys\u00adtem. That instant\u00adly makes it worth check\u00ading out by itself. On the oth\u00ader hand, the dif\u00adfi\u00adcul\u00adty and rat\u00ading sys\u00adtem make it a frus\u00adtrat\u00ading expe\u00adri\u00adence. If you\u2019re used to the rub\u00adber band AI<\/span> from the two pre\u00advi\u00adous titles, you\u2019ll find it well worn here. And good luck get\u00adting the max num\u00adber of coins and stars pos\u00adsi\u00adble in the bid to max out the game. But, it\u2019s still decent Mario Kart over\u00adall and the game plays exact\u00adly like you\u2019d expect. That\u2019s a win\u00adning attribute that helps sal\u00advage this race.<\/span><\/p>\n
