In this version of the many versions of Mario and Mario-like games, you take control of someone who isn't Mario. You take control of Maryo. Here, you will go through several cute and sometimes challenging levels in a game as much for children as it is for adults.
The first thing you'll notice is, compared to Mario, the controls are a little loose. However, the levels have all been designed to keep this elasticity in mind, so that no harm comes of the character due to mistakes. Each of the many levels given in the original download are varied extensively. The hallmarks are here - sunshine levels, below ground levels; and along with those are snow levels, desert levels, etc.
The graphics are all very smooth and polished looking. From the backgrounds, to menus and map screen, down to the Koopas and turtles waddling around, to new enemies unique to this game - everything looks really excellent. The one downside is, the music has to be downloaded separately - however this is also a plus as the file size is quite hefty on its own, as such keeping the music as an option is probably a wise move.
All of this, plus the clincher for a great game: A level editor. The in-game editor is fully functional, allowing you to take control of any aspect of the game and tweak it, nudge it, or scrap it all and build your own design. Already there are plenty of user built levels available. Needless to say this is a very recommended download.

I love this game with a passion! Usually, when I play games, I lose interest in them after a month. Not so with this one! I've not only been playing this game for the past 3 months, I've also created over 10 levels myself and submitted them for others to play! This is one of the most excellent PC games out there and an absolute MUST for those who look favorably upon Mario-cloned games!
