Only one Mario needs to make it to safety in order to pass each level, so if you don’t focus on picking up all the extras in each level (like high score awards, coins, and cards), you may find yourself blowing through the entire game in only a few hours. The most satisfying part of the gameplay, however, comes from refining your technique and figuring out ways to attack each puzzle more efficiently to earn the highest score possible. Merely passing each of the game’s 72 levels is the easy part. Dominating each of them proves much more difficult, and often takes complex planning and execution.
