You’ll also have to deal with fast moving koopa troopas, then multi-hit wigglers, then flying foes, and even bullet bills which shoot in from all directions. The early enemies are mindless goombas that slowly move from one side of the screen to the next, new foes are introduced as you progress. Things start out easy enough, but the difficulty ramps up pretty quickly. This means you’re going to want to defeat all enemies on each floor AND close all the doors. Enemies come from open doors, and they themselves can open closed ones. These are marked as either going up or down, and in the beginning they move you up or down just one floor. Mario’s jump can’t reach new floors, and so you’ll have to use the elevators. Sounds easy enough, right? Well there are a lot of these, and each screen has multiple floors. Your goal in every single screen stage is simply to close all of the doors. You play as Mario (duh, who else) and you can run both left and right as well as jump. Instead it leans heavily into puzzle elements, and each stage takes place on a single screen from a side view.
Hotel Mario is not a traditional platform game. They’ve clearly been created as a low budget stinker. They’re downright painful, and occur even in between stages. Now, typically I’m all for the early CD terrible voice acting and animation in these sequences. Princess Toadstool has been made a ‘permanent resident’ at these estates, and it’s up to Mario and Luigi to rescue her. Now he’s a businessman running a series of hotels along with his koopa kids.
Things are a bit different this time around. Here we have a dopey looking Mario and Luigi discover that Bowser has once again kidnapped the princess. Upon booting up Hotel Mario we’re treated to what can only be described as one of the cheesiest and worst fully animated sequences in video game history. Today we’re going to take a look at Hotel Mario so let’s dive right into our review! Hotel Mario is one of the only non-educational titles in the franchise to not be ported anywhere else. In exchange Phillips could commission development of games for the CD-i platform using the company’s classic franchises. It was the product of a deal between Nintendo and Phillips to design and release the CD attachment to the Super Nintendo. Hotel Mario is one of the few titles in the franchise not developed (or even published) by Nintendo.
