Yoshi's Island the Original and Super Princess Peach Review

Well here we are 2 video games,long time no see it mostly been consoles this and books that and movies this and so on. I promised that I'd review Super Princess Peach some time ago so you know it's what I must do.


One day when I went over to Leffler's house I found this odd DS game called Super Princess Peach,by the title it sounds tedious and boring ,I thought that to then I read the back of the case.it turned out to be completely different from what I tought heres how

Super Princess Peach(Nintendo DS)

Year:2005
Developer:Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo

Plot: 20/20(Yes,yes I know you think I probably label all plots as perfect well I don't just look at Sonic Adventure 2,anyways basically Bowser finds out about a powerful weapon on Vibe Island and basically once he gets his hands on it,he uses it to cause havoc and kidnap Mario and Luigi,wait wouldn't he want to kidnap Peach MORE??? Guess not this time,meanwhile Princess Peach returns from a walk to find that Mario and Luigi are missing with a mysterious umbrella she heads off to find Mario,at last Peach is for once not the damsel)

Concept: 20/20(Basically you control Peach's emotions which have different effects on surroundings and also work with an umbrella that works somewhat like FLUDD or Yoshi in the way that the Umbrella partners up with Peach you got through about6 different worlds so it's basically a 2D Mario game with a twist of fate)

Graphics:20/20(Like Yoshi's Island DS,this game pushes DS' 2D graphics to the limits)

Levels: 15/20(I'm mostly impressed with the level design but let's face it most of the levels are similar and the challenge each lack I mean Hoo's Wood,Ladida Plains are too bland,Bowser's Villa is quite lovable as is Giddy Sky)

Challenge:8/20(This is by far the game's greatest flaw,it's just too easy ok too easy,it could be done in one sitting)

Music:14/20(The music ain't quite Mario quality or even good Sonic but it's still fun to hear Ladida had the best music in this round)

Final: 16/20 (The game is pretty good,it had all the potential too make a perfect but lets face it it adds the stereotype of girls always constantly using emotions,it's too easy,the levels and music need work andwell that's about it.Graphically it's excellent as is the plot and concept and it could use a sequel)

And now for what is considered one of the best games of all time,graphically the most advanced for 1995,SNES masterpiece drumroll......................................

Super Mario World 2:Yoshi's Island(SNES)

Year:1995
Developer:Nintendo
Publisher:Nintendo

Plot:20/20(Baby Mario and Luigi are born,a stork picks em' up but is interrupted by Kamek's lackey's who kidnap baby Luigi,Mario falls onto Yoshi's Island and with Yoshi's help must save Luigi from the clutches of Kamek,Baby Bowser,and their minions,sounds a bit tired but for 1995 it was the beginning of such an idea)

Concept: 20/20(Basically you are Baby Mario and must rescue Baby Luigi on Yoshi who has an arsenal of moves from Ground Pound to Egg making,the concept is clear but good)

Graphics:20/20(Whoever panned this game for bad graphics must be blind or stupid because this game has some of the best graphcs for 2D about at the same level as it's sequel Yoshi's Island DS)

Levels:20/20(Most intense levels ever)

Challenge:18/20(Mostly challenging but some of them aren't)

Music:15/20(The music is mostly good but not as good as the sequel,it's not Mario quality but it's getting there)

Final:19/20(Amazing game,stunning all it lacked was challenge and music I couldn't quite put it in the almost-perfect 20 like Super Mario Sunshine or NiGHTS into Dreams but it rocked,it's no wonder this game has been put on people's Top 10 lists)
