A direct improvement from the original GBA title

Over 100 stages
Older players may find early levels too easy


Simple and effective controls
Many new levels
Adapted for the Nintendo Switch


Time attack, local co-op and casual mode add more content to the package
Lots of smaller QoL updates mean the game is more accessible than ever
Jazzy soundtrack
After Wonder, it's hard to go back to vanilla Mario styles
Where's the Mini Mario amiibo?

No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


The cooperative mode has been implemented to perfection.
Difficult variations and the race against time are excellent incentives to replay.
If you already know the original well, you may not have the motivation to complete it again.
A suite
"Perhaps a reboot would have been a better idea."


New modes are welcome for all
Puzzles remain creative
A healthy dose of nostalgia
Old-school mechanics may cause chaos for new players

Beautiful graphics
A lot of humor
Awesome cooperative gameplay
Boss fights are really an anti-climax.


Wonderful, creative puzzles that never leave you too frustrated
Repainted in today's Mario art style, the game looks better than ever
A little sparse in terms of gameplay variety


The new worlds are perfectly integrated.
Various additional modalities
...but the new terms make up for it
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


New levels
Time mode increases the replay value.
Fun puzzle entertainment
Despite the new content, the quantity is quite low for the price.
but the new stellar system reduces it
translate from French to English:


You do not have high expectations when it comes to the story in a Mario game.
A short game duration does not bother you if you are well entertained in return.
You value a captivating plot.
You want to get a lot of playing time for your money.


Tight platforming that's tough but fair
Difficulty scaling feels natural throughout all 130 levels
Limited lives are an obsolete annoyance


Tight Platforming And Satisfying Puzzling
Co-Op Adds An Extra Layer Of Fun
Simplistic Donkey Kong Battles


Two new worlds add their personal touch to the available puzzles.
New game modes are coming to make the game more accessible and sometimes more challenging.
The intense feeling of déjà vu that we experience for the most part of the title, as nothing has changed in terms of design and gameplay.
Gameplay is a recipe that is not for all players, despite the recognition of the protagonists.
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


The new internships were widely successful.
The sound atmosphere is top-notch.
Way too easy in its first part
Lazy in its artistic direction


A very faithful remake
Co-op is done well
Too easy for some
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.


Interesting blend of platform and puzzle.
Well-integrated multiplayer
Rich in content
Portable gaming rhythms
Clear design level but too schematic.


Slick graphical revamp and a top-notch orchestral score
Co-op mode makes for a whole new world of fun with a young player in tow
Casual mode is a nice touch
Boss battles are fun
Levels don't utilise your skills or force you to think enough
New worlds are fine but feel a little like Nintendo on auto-pilot

new co-op mode and casual mode are great concessions to less experienced players
the presentation overhaul is pretty thorough
the asking price may be too high for what is on offer

Two new worlds to complete
The entire game is a bit too easy
Lacks replayability aside from a basic time attack mode
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.

Jumps that are out of the ordinary for Mario
A successful redesign project
Mario and his animations
Music that fits the mood of the title.
A lack of overall challenge
repetitive boss fights
Some imprecise collisions


Successful gameplay, with a touch of depth as a bonus.
Well-designed levels
New content
A satisfying graphic and sound overhaul
A very short adventure.
The price (49.99?)


New cutscenes look gorgeous
Expanded replayability
Things take too long to get interesting


Additional content compared to the original game

We prefer Mario elephant


De belles cinématiques
Techniquement solide en TV et portable
Une base d?expérience solide et efficace
Du challenge en annexe
Des nouveaux mondes et des nouveaux niveaux
Un mode détente et 2 joueurs pour plus de fun
Une durée de vie convenable en 100%
Des musiques qui accompagnent bien
Le gros tuto étiré sur la 1ère run bien trop facile
La hitbox des ennemis assez étrange
Obligation de faire cette première run pour débloquer le reste
Les challengers n?auront pas cette patience
Linéaire, arcade et très court pour les plus doués
On aurait voulu plus de mondes inédits
L?éditeur de niveau absent
Une bande sonore qui manque de folie à un thème près
Lots of new levels
Excellent music
Challenge lacking
Rigid movement
Pléthores de niveaux translates to "plethora of levels" in English.
Adding a cooperative mode ...
Various mechanics
Heavy movements
... which would deserve more flexibility.
No "Pros & Cons" find for this reviewer.
Gameplay holds up but considerably simple in 2024
New levels are great and offer something different to the original
Identity issues between what genre it wants to be

A DA always so perfect
Well thought out riddles
The coop is well integrated
Mario is a bit too rigid
