"PISS OFF"

Yes! It's Hotel Mario for the once ultra successful Philips CD-i! Part of the exciting deal in 1993 that resulted in Nintendo franchises appearing on the system like the award winning Zelda games. What do you get if you take some Elevator Action, some manure and some Mario, then blend it all together in a pool filter? Probably a mess. From the looks of it, you pretty much just have to close all the doors in each level and maybe collect some bouncing coins and jump on enemies/guests. The coins fall right off the edge though, what kind of hotel doesn't even have walls? A DELUXE hotel that's what.

Fantasy Factory developed it, the only game they've ever made. They should just take over and make every Mario game. I'd love to see a sequel on Wii or something, where you could twist the controller to simulate the feeling of actually being there, closing doors. There are some videos of the greatest Mario game ever (on the internet), they have pretty cool music! Extremely good voice acting, too.

Introduction and some gameplay!

Correction: The best Mario game ever isn't even on a Phillips platform.

Yeah, man, this is where it's at.

But seriously, the CD-I is a fucking lollabout. A load of Nintendo franchises wind up on it, and they're all bollocks-ulated.

Mario Teaches Typing. =o

Step one: jump all over your keyboard
Step two: replace broken keyboard
Step three: refer to step one

Securely fasten cape to neck for maximum coolness and safety.

His overalls CHANGE COLORS in the 2nd vid. What

And I found the music to be catchy :(

Thanks for proving FULLY INCORRECT my opinion that the best Mario game ever was Mario Kart 64. Now my Mariolife is meaningless.

It was the most cool bass line I've heard for a while

God, Mario Teaches Typing was so awesome.

Oh shi- CD-i almost recieved the REAL DEAL sequel to Mario World, too.

Forget Yoshi's Island, Mario's Wacky World's was where it could have been at!

"I CAN WALK ON SPIKES SO WACKY"

Apparently some guy who collects betas of unreleased games wound up acquiring that; it was on Digg maybe a month ago or more... Turns out it isn't that bad a game.

Surprisingly.

Like, really surprisingly.

How is this shit even possible. XD

Why doesn't Mario have an italian accent, and why does Lugi's accent change all of a sudden.

What about the very original Donkey Kong? If you don't count remakes, then it was for arcade, and that's not a Nintendo system right? heh.

Apart from the enemies that doesn't hurt anyone and the slopes MArio hovers above, I really liked the graphics. The mirror effect on the water was actually rather nice...

Hotel Mario is really funny, really, comparing to other Nintendo licenced titles on CD-I... you sure know those horrible Zelda games.

But a new Hotel Mario title will never... ever happens.
