SMB Banana Mania is a compilation of levels from SMB 1, 2 and Deluxe. I've only played bits and pieces of the games, and was able to pick this one up cheap so decided to give it a try.Gameplay is very simple. Your character is a monkey in a ball, and you tilt the stage with the left stick to control his movement, collecting bananas and reaching the goal marker. It starts off easy and quickly ramps up the difficulty. I played through the entire first world and didn't have much trouble, but I can see that future levels will be a lot tougher. Levels are really short, so it doesn't become too frustrating.
Simple good fun. This is one that's not going on the top of the list, but I can see myself returning to for a few levels here and there.
Verdict: Play Later
