This game can keep me amused for hours! So what if it is the same playing style as Mario 64 and so what if there is less levels. The levels are huge and have lots to within them. But not everything is fun, missions such as most of the red coin levels can be tedious and some missions are ridiculously easy and short such as the mission on Gelato Beach where all you have to do is fight a giant caterpillar, you fight it immeadiately as soon as you start the level! The mini stages and the short platforming levels are super fun, they could make a great game just out of those! The new gadget named "Fludd" is very fun to use, you can shoot up in the air like a rocket, hover in the air, squirt water regularly or even use the hydro nozel which when used in water acts similar to a jet ski, sadly the hydro nozel and rocket nozel are used rarely, especially the hydro nozel. The addition of adding Yoshi into the mix is nice, but he also doesn't have to be used all that often!
Graphics: 93%
The graphics in this game are marvelous, especially the water! If you are to slide into paint Mario will even be covered in paint until you wash it off. Character models appear to be kind of bland and look better from far away, they could have been better, or adleast I think so! The areas on this game look amazing and I describe them as jumping into a painting!
Sound: 95%
The sound on this game is great! The tunes fit in well, the game comes with Dolby Prologic! And you can hear the characters voices over the music as well which is a plus! But Peache's voice as usual can get very tedious!
Replay Value: 93%
The replay value on this awsome game is great! There are tons of blue coins for you collect after beating the final boss and it is just amazingly fun to replay missions and just fool around. Trying to find all the secrets will keep you amused for a while!
Overal: 94%
-Get this game if your craving a solid adventure and platformer game!
-Don't get this game if you hated Super Mario 64!
-If you are a searious collector of Nintendo games and love previous mario games, then get this! Or else it will haunt you in your sleap until you get it!
Final Coment:
-I adore this game and I personaly like it more than Super Mario 64!

What you call the hydro nozel is actually the turbo nozzle, though
Yes, for me it's just incredibly fun to run around Delfino Plaza, jumping around and messing with flood. If I had to give this a percentage score, it'd probably be 93.5%.

I just think it was too easy, and too short. The storyilne was a piece of sh!t, and they added this stupid twist that Peach was Junior Bowser's mother....as if that would be possible...

And storyline was enver a strong part of Mario- in fact, it's never really been a part at all. Bowser kidnaps the princess, you save her. It's really just an excuse to jump on things.

QuoteIt was easy because you read where to go whenever you took a step, that's not easy, that's cheating.
I did get all the blue coins. It WAS easy. I must admit that I used a FAQ guide though, because I didn't want to spend another 20 hours trying to find all the blue coins when they could simply be given to me.

Nice graphics! Way better than Super Mario 64s..The water looks simply amazing and the effects are awesome.
Sound: 9
Tropical music..I luv Steel Drumms!! But it does get kinda annoying when you're at a part where you have to focus...Fits the game though.
Gameplay: 7
Meh. This is the 2nd to worst part. The story is alright, but they'd better get a new voice for Bowser, because that sounded like he was a fruitcake. The Water Pack is pretty cool, and the creative puzzles are a plus.
Lasting Appeal: 5
Ugh. This game didnt last very long. You'll have fun playing it a first time, but boy, you'll stop playing right after that. It gets boring.
Overall: 8
