What Mario & Sonic Should Have Been

Yeah, its true. This is everything I wanted from Mario & Sonic growing up, but never got from either. Mario had sweet level design but not for smooth speed-runs; anytime youd try to move quickly, thered be an enemy or gap or platform in the way, placed precisely in a spot that was meant to slow you down. Bummer. Sonic had the speed, but the games were fraught with unexpected pitfalls and enemies, inevitably slowing you down as well. Big Bummer.

This game (and its predecessor Mikey Shorts) is everything I wanted a platformer to be. If you make your jumps and slides and hookshots precisely, you can zoom through the levels like a pro. Perfect level-design each and every level. Charming graphics. Pinpoint touch-screen controls. Cheap price. Amazing value.
