Super Nin-e Sisters

Genre: Platform
Dimensions: 2D
Setting: Windows
Players: 1p


Today I bring you Super Nin-e Sisters. It’s a simple 2d side scrolling games, its basically a Mario clone.

For those who didn’t play Mario (go play it), you move from left to right jumping over chasms and collect coins. To defeat enemies you must jump on their head. There are floating bricks that you hit with your head. They may give you coins, mushrooms, or lives. Once you collect a mushroom you grow bigger and then if you get hit you don’t die immediately but return to your previous size. Finally if you are big and collect a flower you gain the ability to shoot (but you return to a smaller size and lose that ability once you get hit). During the level you can go through pipes and use short cuts.

Ok that summarizes Mario and a great deal of Super Nin-e Sisters. There are a few differences though, the level design is windows, meaning you jump on “My computer” and go into apps at the end of the level. Considering that Super Mario is an NES game Super Nin-e Sisters boasts a couple of times higher resolution. Besides the visuals, a few things are changed in the levels like the placement of enemies, bricks and secrets.
So it might sound like a nice substitute for Mario.

But Super Nin-e Sisters has its fair share of problems. The controls are pretty frustrating, you can’t play the game with a keyboard but instead you must use a mouse, it’s tedious and virtually impossible. Fortunately you can use a game pad, but the jumping segments are still pretty hard. The main problem is that you can jump higher by running and in some areas you don’t have too much space to maneuver easily. Even if you manage to jump on the platform its not uncommon to fall of the other end.

If you love Mario, than don’t suggest playing this game. This is an interesting game to try seeing how Mario would look in a windows theme but don’t expect anything more than that. It’s fun to try but it won’t hold your attention too long.


Graphics: It’s interesting seeing a Mario clone, but with an windows theme. The graphics are ok, but there is no where enough diversity.

Controls: Unresponsive and clunky. It’s pretty much unplayable with a mouse. The platforming parts that need precision are almost impossible.

Story: There is no story, not even the text when you get to the end of the level with lava.

Gameplay: Pretty frustrating. It’s more fun to play Mario.

Replay value: None, this game is the type that you try once and you don’t play again. You can select the level from which you want to start at the beginning. Levels don’t have a checkpoint, the last level is torture.

Best moment: managing to jump up to destroy the enemy that throws recycle bins in level 2000 – 1.
