I think it really only has the most superficial of connections to Mario. It's much more a puzzler than a platformer at heart. (and you controlled Peach in SMB2, not 3) It's probably going to be a one-time playthrough for me, but I could see someone getting replay value out of the speed runs–some folks are into that kind of thing.

I just decided not to use comparisons in this review mate. It's a 2D side scroller, so we know it's inspired by Mario already, goes without saying.

[...] Platform Nation: 9/10. “I’m sure you’ll fall in love with it. There’s lots to do, it reminds us of what pick up and play platform gaming is on XBLA, and is certainly enjoyable. Definitely an excellent addition Live Arcade.” [...]

agree the first time through will take a little time, but why would i do it again once done? not really any replay value in this title, except you'll be replaying the levels over and over cause to get some of the puzzle pieces you have to skip further ahead, sometimes MULTIPLE levels, in order to obtain "something" then back track back to skipped levels. Makes no sense! and not one mention of "Super Mario Bros"? its just like Super Mario 3 and Tim moves just like Peach from that game!
