Story: All your favorite Nintendo characters beat each other up. But, of course, since it's a Nintendo game, it's as cute as it can be.

Graphics: The graphics are very clear, fast, and colorful.

Sound: Each character's theme music comes with his level. The announcer is annoying.

Play Control: The same moves do similar things for each character, so you don't have to learn each character's moves as you do in most fighting games.

Play Value: The 1 player game gets old fast. The real strength of this game is as a multiplayer party game.

Rating: E - Everyone. Yeah it's a fighting game, but there's no blood, and you don't kill or knock out your opponent, you just knock them off their platform.

Summary: A good introductory fighting game, or mulitplayer game. It's definitely not Mortal Kombat.
