Rob, this is an excellent review. I always wanted to play this game (having played Super Mario Land), but never got around to it.

The intro paragraph is fantastic and pretty much sums up how most of us feel when juggling playing, reviewing and the big one: REAL LIFE. How to get back to that game you just played and convey your thoughts before THE NEXT THING.

I also loved this line:

...just two obese dudes duking it out over possession of swank digs.

But I did find a few typos:

There are no princesses to rescue, no dragon-turtles to temporary subdue...

Should be "temporarily"

Those challenges included the one you find once you earn the six golden coins

Should be "include"

Anyway, this is the best Overdrive review I've read in a long time.

EDIT: But what the hell kind of picture spacing is that?

Thanks for the praise and the correction-finding. As for the picture spacing, that's what I got when I chose to center them. If there's a way to make them appear farther apart (which there might be; me and html coding aren't exactly a compatible match), I do not know it.

And the time between playing this one and reviewing it was definitely affected by that "real life" crap. A big work project, being a bit under the weather myself, etc. Definitely enough to put a damper on my motivation!

Ha, as spacing goes, I meant between paragraphs.

He's right. You either need to break up the last paragraph block with some more screens, or space what you do have more evenly.

Marc giving good screenshot advise. My word.
For us. For them. For you.

Ah, I understand now! The answer: I was lazy when I inserted them and didn't pay attention to where they went. So I improved upon that a bit.
