"Mario Forever - CNET editors' review!"

Hearkening back to the heyday of Nintendo, this game faithfully reproduces the classic Super Mario Bros. Although Mario Forever's graphics and sound aren't identical to those of the original, they're so close most users familiar with the game won't be able to differentiate.

The basic platformer action hasn't changed either. As the feisty little plumber Mario, you traverse different worlds to collect coins while dodging enemies such as malevolent mushrooms and ill-tempered turtles. You won't find an extensive feature set, but you can at least change the keyboard controls or disable the music and sound effects.

However, we do think Mario Forever consumes a bit too much processor time, especially considering its outdated design. But if you were a fan of the 1980s classic Super Mario Bros., then we doubt this freebie will disappoint you.

"Good remake - for once, a playable version of the game!"
by TruthSeekr on July 13, 2009

Pros: This game features all the great features of the original classic remake into a computer sim, with ONE difference - its actually playable, unlike the stupid flash versions that've come out earlier. Graphics could have been a bit smoother, and controls are not too tight, could've been better. As a person who grew up playing this Nintendo classic on my 8-bit console, its a true joy seeing this game take shape the way it has.

"Easily the best Super Mario 3 remake I've ever played"

Super Mario Forever is EXACTLY the same as any other Mario game, except for one difference, it is made by one fan. The gameplay is better than any other 2D Mario game I've ever played on my PC but the only thing I don't like about it is not being able to save your game at a certain point of the game. (But which Mario game lets you do that anyway?)

As usual, the point of the game is getting from one side of the level to the other and fighting a boss at the end of each world to proceed, the characters are the same but he's changed some of the characters names, like calling Bowser Kuppa King.

The story is that Bowser has been destroying villages with his Koopa army and it's up to you to stop them (sounds simple but isn't). I especially like the sounds on this game as they sound exactly the same as any official Mario game and the graphics beat any 2D Mario game.

So for this game I give two thumbs up and I recommend the game to any Mario fan.

I'm a super fan of Mario!

The diversity of music and background graphics is quite impressive. In the game you will go through grasslands, underground mines, rocklands, castles filled with lava, a world at night (world 3), underwater, etc. Each level consists of multiple image layers. There is also a great diversity of enemies, bonuses and other objects.

There are a range of puzzles and challenges to solve in the game such as a pipe maze (world 6-2), riding the lakitu through a treacherous sky gauntlet (world 5-2) and running through enemy saturated obstacle courses such as the Hardcore Worlds. Finally you get to fight Mario's nemeses Bowser (who has different abilities depending on the world you face him).

The main character, Mario, is relatively easy to control and see.

The game involves quite a lot of action and requires speed, agility, careful timing and a bit of good luck. Overall It comes with 50 levels including 8 standard, and bonus worlds like the Lost Map, Hardcore worlds, ...and many more.

Super Mario 3 : Mario Forever is really a fantastic mario remake created with Multimedia Fusion.

Once again you strap on your wrench and hardhat and guide the chubby plumber through many skilfully made levels. The diversity of the levels is very impressive. You will have to get through levels ranging from underwater caverns to levels filled with fiery lava.

I found the controls a little tricky to get into. The physics aren't exactly the same as in other mario games, but you'll get used to it in no time at all.

This clone really re-creates all the magic from the original Mario games and I have to take my hat off to the Buziol Games team for such an excellent game.

It usually annoys me when another Super Mario game gets added to this already bloated section of the Acid-Play but to tell you the truth I’m really pleased this game was added. It simply glows with professionalism, this is one of the few Super Mario games that relies on more than just being a Super Mario clone.

This must go down as the number one Super Mario clone on Acid Play.

Wow this is one of the best Mario Clone games I've ever played! Down to the menus and music this game just shines and it's eye candy is also very good. The story is funny and... well, same as before. The graphics are very good too... I see that it's that type of Supereagle style... but it works so well in this game. The music is awesome too. When you first start-up the game you are hit with an aweosme Mario Remix and the Map menu is also well done. It gives so much more depth to this game and makes you want to play more to find out about the other worlds. The controls however are a bit... loose... but you grow used to it, and it's not really a problem for experienced players. I am just worried about the little kids. I am so happy I came across this game and I am definately keeping this and letting my friends download it! I know they will like it.

I downloaded "Mario Forever", a freeware clone to the original Super Marios 3, and -- wow! -- this game is extremely impressive. In fact, it reminds me of all those great games I used to play on Nintendo.

Mario Forever has lots of enemies and levels that get increasingly difficult to navigate. I had trouble getting the gamepad to work properly but the keyboard controls really were very good once I got used to them. I also had a hard time finding the keys for playing it, so I'll tell you that "jump" is the shift key and "run/fire" is the "z" key. The uninstall worked well and I found the program could be copied to another drive or removable media so it can be considered a portable or "stand-alone" game. Mario Forever should work on all versions of Windows with DirectX 7 or better.

I first tried this game in August of last year. The authors recently updated it and decided to give you a nice adware toolbar with the latest version. Thanks, but no thanks!
