Review 4 (YOUTUBE POOP MONTH SPECIAL) : Hotel Mario

This will be the last Youtube Poop review!
This review's highlights: Gameplay, Voice Acting, Story


Okay. We've seen Philips mess things up with our favorite sword-wielding hero, Link, but how will they smash it up for Mario? Let's check.


Gameplay: 8/10

For a Philips game, the gameplay isn't so bad. In this game, the objective is to close all of the doors of the hotel you are in. There are different floors in the hotel (which you CAN see) which can be reached by going through an elevator. In early levels, the elevators will send you straight to the next floor. But in later parts, you'll have to figure out where the elevators will take you to! A video game HAS to have enemies if there is an ending. That's where Koopa Troopas, Goombas and the Koopalings come in. The enemies will try to open the doors as soon as you open them, so you'll have to get rid of them quick! As with most Mario games, you also have the ability to become Fire Mario to get rid of enemies without touching them. The gameplay would have made Hotel Mario an okay game, but unfortunately Philips had to screw it up with...

Voice Acting: 2/10

They just ruined their chances at making a good game with this. Seriously. The one thing that makes me say this is Princess Toadstool's (as she was known by back then) voice. She absolutely sounds NOTHING like a princess. In fact, she sounds like she was voiced by a man (like Miss Piggy is, except much, much less fitting)! As for Mario and Luigi's voices, I can't blame Philips because at the time they looked a bit older.


Story: 3/10

Ahem. Let me sum this up in a bit. Mario and Luigi are walking to see the princess who has invited them for a picnic. When they arrive to the spot, though, Bowser has left a note saying that he and the Koopalings have captured the princess, and dares them to find her. So then Mario goes to all of the hotels and defeats the Koopalings while seeing the princess who always vanishes until they reach Bowser's castle. Once Mario defeats Bowser, he rescues the princess and they finally go have their picnic.

P.S: All 3 of them call you the "best player ever!".


So that was Hotel Mario, a game that Phillips could have released without the story and voice acting, but just haad to mess up.


See ya next time!
