#210 Y-Project Mario Runner

GBA 210 game Multicart

So, about a year ago I had some time to kill while I was waiting for a friend and I popped in my local video game store and was intrigued to see a multicart for sale that boasted 210 awesome games rolled ito one for a mere $40. That's less than 25 cents per game so how could I not buy it.

The week I bought it I tinkered around with it and was amazed to see how many crappy games they were able to put into one system, but I figured I would never actually have a chance to play them all. I've decided though instead to actually go ahead and play them all one at a time and give a mini review on a daily basis much like today's entry will be minus the lengthy intro into the project.

#210 = Y-Project Mario Runner

So, basically you got mario and the bricks and the elevators and some koopas and your trying to get through some maze. The screen shot you see there is just about as far as I've gotten so maybe that's all there is.

Mario does have some fancy new powers, most impressively melting bricks with the touch of death and crawling upside down under elevator I-beams. However, the one thing that makes Mario, Mario, his ability to jump is missing. The Japanese even dubbed Mario, Jumpman and it was the Americans who forever christened him the legendary Italian title.

But what good is a jumpman who can't jump and succumbs into falling in a crevice one Mario deep. That's right instead of jumping one "small mario" length upward and out of the crevice instead Mario simply looks to the left and looks to the right and apparently takes cyanide to end his misery.
