Bootleg Mario games part one, Somari

8/9/12 9:00am

Back in the 1980's Japanese and Chinese companies thought they would cash in on Mario by creating bootleg games. I played several fine pieces of bootleg crap and wish to share my experiences.

1. Somari

I'm just speechless. I'll try my best in words to explain whatever the hell is going on above.

Somari Team thought it would be a good idea to combine Mario and Sonic, so they gave Mario the ability to roll into a ball and go fast. However, they never explain why an obese Italian plumber can go super-sonic speeds.

The game itself is a decent game and is very challenging, so if you thought Sonic was too hard you can try Somari. The only issues are the annoying music and reoccurring glitches.

Is it worth playing: Yes

2. Super Mario World (On SEGA Genesis)

In this unique Mario game, Mario instead of jumping on his enemies, he must pick up and throw boxes at them instead. If you jump on enemies, you lose a heart. The new mechanic makes the game interesting at the later levels.

The game itself is a very fun, but if the pirates were trying for a real Mario game, they failed drastically.

Is it worth playing: Yes

3. Mario Lottery

I have no idea what this game is about. I tried my best to understand what was going on, but it still confuses me. My best idea is that it’s a gambling game where you sit and do nothing while the game plays itself.

Also, why does Mario have an F on his hat and look stoned?

Is it Worth playing: No, unless you want to be confused and bored to death.

4. Mario-Kun

A game that requires you to use your mind to solve puzzles. Most Puzzles involve moving blocks in a certain way to collect fish (don’t ask). In later levels enemies such as goombas and koopas are added to make the game more challenging.

Overall, a decent game for puzzle game fans.

Is it worth playing: Yes, if you like puzzle games.

5. Mario Kart fighter

This game was by far, the best and funniest of the 5 I played. It’s a fighter game that features all the Mario Kart characters. Hit detection and reaction speed is somewhat off, but overall the game is decent.

Is it worth playing: Yes

Overall, Pirating games is bad and games by pirates usually aren't up to par with the real games they pirated.

I like this post, enjoyed this one regards for putting up. vigrx What i don't understood is in fact how you are no longer actually much more well-appreciated than you might be now. You're very intelligent. You understand thus considerably in relation to this matter, made me individually consider it from a lot of numerous angles. Its like women and men aren't involved until it is one thing to do with Girl gaga! Your personal stuffs outstanding. At all times deal with it up!

I have been educated about bootleg games today...and now I need to make sure that this isn't a dream.

I love how in Mario-Kun, at about 0:35, Mario just punches the goomba like "Get the f*** off!"

My personal favorite was Kart Fighter. It was sort of a Mario Kart meets Karate Champ blended together. I was really hoping for a stage fatality in the Mario vers--excuse me "Mari" versus Luigi battle. :D

As for Super Mario World on Sega Genesis ... I don't get it ... are they making fun of the Genesis ... or .... uhhhhh .... I personally think that whoever made it was just doing it wrong. So to the creator of that game ... Super Mario = You're doing it WRONG! (Then I watch Mario Lottery) ... Nevermind.
