Kinda of torn between a 3.5/3 out of 5. The visuals are great and the sound design is good. But the gameplay is far to busy to seem fluent and play exactly what you want to do without extreme familiarity with its mechanics. The special moves seem strangely inaccurate and the hitboxes are questionable to say the least. Not surprised to see why a community never really formed around this one

Amazing idea for a game and a good game for the collection. But the hitbox and hitstun in the game ruin it. Many of the bosses kill you instantly becuase of lack of hitstun, and enemies are boring to kill. I don't know why there are so many mini-stages in each chapter, it just breaks the flow of the game when you run in a straight line for 10 seconds just to get put back to the overworld. People are right, this game is overrated and does not belong in the SNES hall of fame.
Good graphics, solid music, and good level variety. The controls are pretty stiff and could be a lot smoother. The hitbox on the melee attack needs to be fixed and feels clunky as all hell. This is one of the games where you get hit so often, instead of balancing the game, they give you a lot of health and health refills. Still simple platforming fun at the end of the day.

Not too big on these types of games, but the music, controls, story, and main character are enticing enough for me to keep playing. The camera and enemy variety are the game's biggest problems. The combat has enough moves to make it diverse but ultimately, mashing one button gets the job done. Also, quick-time events are never a positive.

Gof damn this is the peak of 3D fighting games. While not perfect its as close as we can get. The story mode is good while adding narative to the tekken cannon and the graphics are a huge improvement over 7. The roster is not to my liking but its high number of base characters trump its closest competition of street fighter 6. This is the king of new gen fighters.

Would of enjoyed it a lot more if I didn't get stuck with no way to repair my weapons on chapter 27 so killing all the enemies is seemingly impossible. The game is extremely cryptic on how to get certain people and not user-friendly at all. This was my first fire emblem and I don't think I will return any time soon. Obviously I could of stocked up earlier "planned ahead", but being the first ever playthrough of one of these games, how tf am i supposed to know that. Not impressed with this one.
A fine version of the best 2D mario with some slight level changes and the addition of playing with luigi with his physics. The music is worse and the screensize is smaller and the colors are washed out, but thats what you get for being on the GBA. If you can play the original then stick with that, but this is a good alternative for its time.

Amazing remake of an already amazing game. What keeps it from a 10 is that there isnt enough post game content since this isnt a long rpg at all, and that its too easy. Strategy from the original is now replaced with spamming attacks until every major boss is defeated, even culex isn't hard. The only challenge comes from the post game re-fights where Culex 3D puts up one hell of a fight. Hardest boss in any mario game for sure.
Wonderful game that nails graphics, controls, and stage design to a T. The music is among the most forgettable in the series except for piranha plants on parade. The boss fights and is very disappointing and worse than the new super Mario bros series. Great game but not perfect, the badge mechanic is a great addition.
