Exactly as advertised, this is an under an hour game with a pretty basic story and premise. While running through a palette-swapped version of Booster’s Tower, you fight some modified enemies with just Mario. There are some unique animations and attacks for Mario and the enemies, though most of the former are just palette-swapped versions of existing one. Speaking of the palette, it’s very bland (gray-scale), and while that is clearly intentional, it is a bit dull to look at for the entire experience.

In terms of difficulty and strategy, there really isn’t much here. Beat up some enemies for enough cash, buy the best equipment, and breeze on through. There are some tricks to the boss battles, but these are kept pretty tame. Ultimately, when limited to only a single character, it really keeps things pretty straightforward without much room for strategy.

Still, the environment, gameplay, and story were perfectly fine for what this hack is (a short single area RPG). It has a unique style to it and showcases some familiar things in a new light.
