Secret Maryo Chronicles is a game pretty similar to the original Super Mario games, featuring a slightly different main character, slightly differently drawn enemies and different levels to play. The game is released under GPL, meaning it's free to both play and build on, which is great, and many separate levels have been released as add-ons. The controls are easy to get the hang of, and the gameplay is smooth, but it feels a bit too smooth, smoother than the original Mario games in a... too smooth kind of way. Overall it's a good game, nice and simple, with clean graphics and entertaining levels, but the game engine leaves a bit to be desired. Sound could be improved as well.
