This was a fun novelty at the time to be able to play the All-Stars version of SMB3 on a portable, but unfortunately the lower screen resolution and horrendous sound design set it back a ton even back in the day. There's some sounds in the bonus games that feel like they could've came off an Atari 2600 and the music ranges from slightly crap to downright atrocious in comparison to their original SNES counterparts.

And to top it all off the unnecessary voicelines that have plagued these series of games are still alive and well, this time with Mario constantly going "Woohoo! Just what I needed!" every ten seconds.

I guess there's the e-reader levels, but who cares my ears are still bleeding from the fortress theme.
