Simple. Not too great, but not too bad. The sprites used in M&W are all new and not from SMW. Backgrounds are detailed with characters from Mario games, such as Yoshis, etc.

Sounds: (72%)
The music in M&W is decent; it's catchy but repetitive at times. The music is suitable for the game, however.

Gameplay: (79%)
Mario & Wario is a strategy game. You play as Wanda the Fairy (who is also from Wario's Woods), and you must guide Peach, Mario, or Yoshi (you get to choose) to Luigi, who will take the object, dropped on your head by Wario, off. Sounds easy, huh? Wrong. There are obstacles in most of the courses, such as enemies and spikes. One touch by either one, you’re dead. Also, if the time limit runs out, then you'll die. The gameplay formula is fun and simple for the most part, but gets boring easily.

Replayability: (65%)
Mario & Wario is fun to try out a few times, but just doesn't have much replay value.

Personal Score: (78%)

Bottom Line:
Mario & Wario is a pretty fun game while it lasts. It is pretty challenging, but doesn't have much replay value.

Score: (74%) C
