So Much Fun!

I’ve loved Mario since the original Nintendo console (yes I’m old) and I still purchase and play new Mario games and releases on my Switch. I’m not very good at Mario and never have been, but it’s a fun game and I really enjoy playing. This App version is one of my favorite versions of Mario. It is nothing like the original version from the 80’s, but it just has so many layers and challenges, and I have so so much fun playing my own iTunes music through the game while Mario rocks out in his headphones. Because there is no controller, the mechanics are different and it takes a bit to adjust to the constant forward motion and understand that success is all about timing jumps, but this doesn’t detract from the adventure of the game, and it’s kind of cool that you only need one finger to tap and play. The coin layers in the worlds are fun, becoming more challenging as you go, and as I said I love the Remix challenges. I also love the fact that it is on my phone in my pocket waiting for 5 minutes to play through a world. Yes I paid for it, but I’ve never played a Mario game that I haven’t paid (actually more money) for that wasn’t a rip-off emulator of an early Mario game. I recently paid $60 for Mario Bros Wonder, which is great but I play this App version a heck of a lot more.

Fun Game! 👏🏻

This is a really fun game! It’s enough of a challenge that it gives you the excitement and mild frustration of any good game, but not impossible or overly easy. It’s been a long time since I completed all the levels and finished my kingdom, but I still enjoy playing levels for fun and doing toad rally and remix 10 (is that what it’s called? 🤣). I think it’s generally an impressive game and one of my favorites. I do have a few suggestions: 1. The requirements to open the star world are very hard. I’ve played this game for years, so I think I’m decent at it, but there are still several of those I haven’t unlocked. Is there any way to have maybe an alternate way to open them (like getting a certain amount of toads)? 2. Sometimes when I’m playing remix 10 (or whatever it’s called), I think the gam glitches because I get all 3 special coins on a level, but then at the end it doesn’t count them. Could you look into this glitch? 3. I never play online, but I still can’t play without internet, like if I’m in the car or something (I play on an ipad). Do you think this game could be played without internet if it’s offline? Thank you very much for reading, and thanks for making such a great game!

I really enjoy this game but I will say…

I really do enjoy this game but… I CAN SERIOUSLY NEVER PASS THE MUSHROOM LEVEL 😂😂That for me has been the hardest part of the whole game but lol I think it’s a great game. I went to go grab my iPad to game for 10 minutes or so I downloaded this game and only planned on playing this for 15 minutes before deleting the app and finding something else but… I am all snug playing this game I look at the time and it has been 2 HOURS!! lol ( and no I still have not passed the blasted mushroom level lol) great game I just love it there is no game like this download now please do not give it a second thought you will not regret this!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠🪠 The only real issue I have with this is… for some reason evertime I try to open the game… the menu screen says: it looks like your device may not be set at the actual time of day please go to your clock settings. But literally my device has the same time as all my other devices and my friends devices what is wrong with this game? PLEASE FIX!!!💔💔

Pretty nice but…

This game is fun, but there are plenty of issues. For one, TEN BUCKS for half a dozen worlds, which is six. SIX! Only SIX! Remix 10 is pretty fun, but the zooming out is annoying. And the cliffs. Don’t make it automatic. Please. I’ve gotten doomed by it so many times! Oh, and more issues. Unlocking some characters. God, I’ve been trying to unlock Luigi for about two years, Yes, TWO YEARS! And I still haven’t unlocked him. Wow. Now, you may be thinking, why is that so hard? Here’s why, toads. I got the green toads for it but jeeeeezzzz, the purple toads don’t happen. On top of that, you get them from toad rallies. Oh, toad rallies. Ok here’s where the games rating for me goes from Great! To “I hate this now.” To put it simply, most of them are what I feel like is impossible. Oh, and your punished for losing. And it’s impossible on top of losing toads for failing? Really? ugh. I’ve restarted my game about a dozen times every 10 minutes. Just because I’m absolutely DONE with losing these toads. Especially the purple ones because guess what? I lost about 25 one time because i lost by 1. WHAT?!?! That’s just evil man. Well anyways that pretty much all I’ve got to say one this. Oh just to mention, I tried a level on the main game about 975 times. And one of those times around the 520th, I was about to win but I somehow fell through something and died. Why. Just why. Ok that’s all. Does anyone really read these things?

Paid a lot to be frustrated

I was excited to download this game when I finally realized I could play Mario on my phone, until a couple levels in and I realized I had to fork over 10 bucks just to unlock six worlds total. SIX. Not to mention a whole boatload of my data. Oh, and then the star worlds, which don’t unlock until you complete a series of near impossible challenges. Seriously, I gave up on unlocking certain star worlds when I was about to smash my phone. The rally is maddening because this app’s ability to maintain a connection is meager at best, and if you disconnect for a second you lose your ticket and toads, thus setting you even further back. After multiple disconnects in that I finally learned to stay away from it. The remix ten is fun in theory, even though it’s really just the same six worlds shortened and recycled over and over again, but some of the levels have the bonus medals set in places where it is truly impossible to collect every single one. Or ridiculous obstacles are set up, like running straight into a turning blade because there is no way to stop yourself but no way to get the medal with just letting it hit you. If they could be slightly less stingy with the pause buttons throughout the levels and WAY less rigid in the ridiculously challenging nature of certain levels, this game might’ve earned a few more stars. For now, this data destroyer has been removed from my phone.

Of Course You Have to Pay

I don’t understand why so many people feel that they’re entitled to a free game when it’s a solid game that you should pay for. When downloading an app it will say whether or not there are in game purchases. $10 is a reasonable price for a full fledged game that doesn’t ask for micro transactions on top of that. On top of this, so much is available to try for free to decide whether or not you’d like to purchase the game. It’s essentially a free demo. The mechanic of this game is that Mario (or whichever character you choose) is always running forward. The levels are relatively short so it’s all about being technical with your jumps to get those special coins. There’s no harm in testing the game out. You get the first 4 levels (world 1), Remix 10, and Toad Rally available to try. Purchasing the game gives you the other 20 levels (with 3 challenges each level). Highly recommend trying it. You can even play your own music in game which will make the characters wear headphones while running (which I think is a cute detail).

Please fix this

Ok this app is great in all but a couple things bother me the first thing is that you have to pay to play ALL of the tour games and also they only give you 4 tour games to play the second thing is that you have to wait to do the remix 10 after you’ve done it a couple times you have to wait 24 HOURS TO PLAY THE NEXT ONE. The third thing is why do you have to pay 10 dollars to just play a couple more games I get that you want to make money but please just let us play for free!! The fourth thing is that when you do tour you only have three levels easy medium and hard please add more levels! The fourth thing is that this game requires a new version of an iPhone or iPad i have a old phone and this app used to let me play but now I can’t and I can’t play with my friends. The last thing is that you have to get SO MANY TOADS in order to get a lot of items and you have to go against another person and win to get toads and you have to have a lot of tickets to do that and in order to have a lot of tickets YOU HAVE TO GET THE PURCHASE SCREEN!!! If you don’t have the purchase screen then you have to press the mystery box to get tickets AND EVEN THEN SOMETIMES YOU JUST GET COINS!! So PLEASE FIX THISSSSS!!!!!!!!!,

Great game!

This is one of my favorite games! I love the fact that you can play music while you’re playing it, and I also really like remix 10! One thing that I would add to the app is make it so that people can play offline. Sometimes when I’m on family road trips and I’m bored of playing all my other games I check to see if I can play offline, but I never can and that’s really disappointing. But other than that it’s a wonderful game. Another thing that I would change. I like that you can play as different characters in toad rally and the other levels, but not in remix 10. And I don’t like that a lot. I mean, I know that it’s sort of unfair to play as Yoshi the entire time you’re playing remix 10, but Nintendo, could you PLEASE make it so that after you rescue Daisy, you could get to like, spin a wheel that landed on either a character or a “you choose” thing so we wouldn’t have to play as Mario almost the entire time? If you can do that that would be AWESOME and I will thank you a MILLION times!!! That’s all for now! Byeeeee!
