  • A Classic!

    If you want Mario, this is better than what you are looking for. Great graphics and good controls. My best purchase since Angry Birds. Definitely recommended!
  • Crash crash crash

    First of all, I somehow accidentally bought the the iPod version instead of the iPad, so I'm having to play to play scaled up for five bucks. Secondly this game crashes every single rime I try to use the fire button. Every. Single. Time. So now my five dollar scaled up game is unplayable. Great. Looks like a fun game, though.
  • Constant death from problematic controls

    Like others have said - this is an extremely promising game. But the jump button is really, really, really unreliable. Even standing in place and repeatedly tapping jump, it will frequently miss on both my iPad and iPhone 4. For a platformer, this is a deal breaker. I've finished every Mario and Sonic platformer, and even Giana on the Amiga (I recognize the tunes!). But I can barely get through the easiest level without the controls killing me.
  • Not Bad

    Why such a big deal with level 6-9? I didn't have any trouble. Don't press the jump button so hard. The touch pad responds to how hard you press jump. I mean, the controls are a bit tough to manage. That's why 4 out of 5 stars.
  • Great Game but...

    I love this game. I wish it was known more and a part 2 was being made. However the button needs to be better. A lot of times when you die it'll be because of the buttons. The jump button is too small. And it need a directional pad.
  • A renewed Classic!!

    If you love 2D Jum'N'Run games like me, then this game will fit your gaming collection very nicely.
    I remember when I played the original over 20 years ago on my Commodore 64, it was a great inspired
    Mario gaming with a "twist", instead of two brothers, you here play the two sisters. With excellent graphics
    and simple and brilliant very customized controlling, this games is well worth $4.99. So go and grab it,
    because you will not regret it. And if you like me also own an iPad, it will just be even better, because soon
    there will be a HD version ready for you to down.

  • Best Mario-style game for the iPhone!

    This game has proven to be great fun! I've played off and on for a few months now, and the levels are getting harder at a rate that works really well with the speed at which I am mastering the controls. There are secret places, cute animations, and fun extras. In some ways, this game has more character than Super Mario does. Addendum: I just finished level 6-9. It's not that hard if you find the secret bonus level a few levels before, and use it to stock up on lives. And you won't hit your head if you jump less high. :)
  • Outstanding Game

    I'm loving this game. It has classic 2d gameplay with smooth animation and beautiful graphics. The controls are initially odd, but you do get used to it. I wish the iPhone had more games like these.
  • BEST GAME OF ALL TIME!!

    To the makers of this game.....you are truly brilliant! This game is better than ANY of the super mario brothers combined. I've beat the game & can't wait to see what's next!! Everyone I've showed this game too has purchased it & is addicted!!! Thank you guys sooo much for all the fun....you're the best!!!
  • Stuck

    I liked this game up until level 6-9. I cannot pass it because she hits her head every time I try to jump down. I have no idea how to pass it.
