Yeah...... No.

Done to death by better mixers, with ten times the effort.

A (slightly) unique parody that's good for a laugh

Well done for trying to be different by using All-Stars sprites, it gave your movie some uniqueness amoung the countless other Mario Blooper movies out there in the NG archives. You didn't try to be too ambitious; you've kept it simple with a few smart-but-shallow jokes, so it's good for a few laughs when watched. Try a longer movie, and see if you can climb that Daily Top 5 a little more.

Graphics: Gives a well-deserved airing for the improved sprites of Super Mario All-Stars.

Style: Animation was smooth, and the camera always seemed to be in the best place.

Sound: SM:AS music abounds here.

Violence: LAWL MAETRIX FIGHTS. It's been seen in pretty much every Mario parody to date, but at least it wasn't used in excess here.

Interactivity: Where else but a menu and a movie control panel is this ever needed in most flash movies?

Humor: Not groundbreaking, but will make you chuckle if you've not watched 15 similar movies beforehand.

Not 'lol' funny, not too offending, but still good

Wasn't a very effective parody, in my opinion. It was more like 'The Regular Adventures of My Normal Characters; Featuring a guy that looks like Salad Fingers'. Even if you pulled off a more accurate parody, you'd probably attract the same amount of flaming fanboys, so there's not much that can be done anyway.

Anyway, besides this, the movie flowed pretty well. Generous chunks of random humor all over the place, and believable (if not limbless) characters. Try to have more going on during your scenes in the future, as I can imagine a lot of people will be bored during the slow talking parts.

A well-executed concept.

Not the prettiest game around, but it's well programmed and makes good use of a relatively original concept. You should be proud.

Gripping and difficult, but short and repeditive.

I haven't played very many point-and-click horrors before, but this was worth it in the end. I probably died in every way possible before I consulted a previous review to see where I was going wrong.

Sound is key in these games, and it is used to great effect here. The graphics work well up until the final part, when a photograph is mixed unsucessfully into the hand-drawn style. And although many viewers will not find the game graphic enough, the quick cuts and awkward camera angles are the style of violence you would expect in horror thrillers.

In the end, having to repeat the same steps over and over became tedious, but it can't really be helped. Perhaps if it took longer than a few minutes to do one run of the game, you could 'checkpoint' it at major points along the way. (I'm hoping that The Ugly 2 could last longer than five minutes, even if you do a speed run)

Anyway, in short, good game, unpopular genre.
Don't turn on the TV.

Flawed but acceptable

Checking the previous reviews on this, no-one has mentioned button hit areas yet, so I might as well tell you. Once you turn something into a button, double-click on it to enter its editing mode. There are four keyframe slots, Up, Over, Down, and HIT. Anything drawn in the hit frame will be invisible when the movie is published, but any coloured area in this frame will represent somewhere that you can click to activate the button. (Removing the need to move the mouse pointer over the individual letters. It may not seem like much, but people tend to vote 1 or 0 because of little 'newbie-ish' annoyances like this.)

I don't need to talk about graphics, I can see that it wasn't a major concern when you made it.

Also, read up on the audio optimisation in the newgrounds help. The vast majority of your filesize was taken up by Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, when you could have done okay with the first 45 seconds in a loop. Find a program that can trim off most of the song.

Good luck with what you next decide to produce.
