Each level contains its own unique traps and pitfalls. Mario will find clues inside a submarine sunk deep beneath the ocean's waves, making for a challenging aquatic adventure. His henchmen are all over, with some interesting new opponents, like vicious penguins in the Ice World.

As the levels progress, Mario finds out more about what Bowser's up to. It seems like the evil turtle king has taken over yet another domain in the Mushroom Kingdom. Mario's new adventure pits him against his age-old adversary Bowser. Remember that this game is just like real life now. Also new is the fact that for the first time ever, Mario can look up and down to see dangers from above and below. Every button is used for some cool effect.

The Ultra 64 controller is really put to the test here in order to keep our hero on course. One particularly interesting level has an area where Mario must slide down a mountain to collect bonus coins. The graphics are composed of rendered texture-mapped polygons, which allows for the 3-D world. This is much more realistic than anything seen before. This new game gives Mario an exciting quest with lots of plot elements.Īnother interesting change from the original Mario games is that he can no longer breathe underwater. The levels from Mario are themed much like the rest of the series with levels composed of lava, grassy plains and everyone's favorite: underwater scenes. For example, there are fabulous screens of Mario going up against a giant rendered Bowser. Think what some of the end Bosses would look like and what type of battles you will get into. The 3-D world forces you to cope with threats from all directions with enemies that can now completely surround Mario.
