This Might sound like a Stupid idea but I want to give a critical and Professional look about SMB5 so I can see where the problems lie and too see If it lives up to the classics

Story

The story is after the events of Super Mario Odyssey, Bowser wants to take over the universe, but does not have the powers to do so Bowser learns about the orb of powers, 7 Orbs that give the user unlimited power to destroy whole Galaxies.

He also kidnapped Peach

Peach wanted to have a party to celebrate her return but was kidnapped.

So Mario sets out to save the princess and save the Orbs of Powers once and for all

The story is a little cliché but It's still different to be good enough compared to the originals.

Gameplay

The Game uses the Z button to Jump, The X button to run and do actions and the Arrows to move. This is very simple you can also spin jump but that's it in terms of controls

The Game Progression works like a mix of SMB3 and SMW a world to explore to play levels, bro fights, Bonus Houses, Tanks and Boats and more

Unlike SMB3 you can revisit worlds and levels like in SMW via grey pipes.

Speaking of, there are secret exits that can allow you use grey pipes and the returning Switch Palaces that act the same in SMW.

There also A coins, spread through each level there are 3 A coins and if you collect them all you gain a extra life

The Level design is the first Problem some levels can be short or too cluttered.

The Levels over all are fine but some can feel too short

Mario can also use Power-Ups new and old like the super leaf frog suit or the Super Carrot

That's just the tip of shroom of the power-ups you use in SMB5

Overall there are 13 Worlds, 8 main worlds and 3 and over 90 levels that are not all necessary to complete the game

Presentation

The Game soundtrack is another problem the Midi Remixes are great, especially the Forest theme but some songs I could not get midis of or at least GOOD Midis

The Graphics are okay, using new sprites and Mario all-star sprites from SMB3

One BIG problem is the engine I used Mario Builder. Glitches and physics hiccups happen all the time and they are not being patched any time soon.

Another Problem is the Reputation, people hated the game all because of the engine, even calling it a level collection and a rated 1 out of 10, That's pretty harsh and unneeded.

Extras and Verdict

Small thing, SMB5 has a manual, screenshots and videos to watch just a neat thing

Overall SMB5 has it's big flaws and some from me and MB engine but it's still and game

Does It live up to the classics, That's up to you but to me it's not a fantastic game but it's still a good game

I would Rate a 7/10
