You might be wondering why 9.6 will it a very detailed reason which I shall share with you.

so we all know that Mario is a basic game you start off with a map that you have to unlock but then when you go in to the circle on the map it turns into a platform and all you have is up down left and right but mainly left to right so the graphics get that 8 cause its not great graphics but they are still good cause it has a lot of detail for a platform game also notice when he turn he has that 3-D effect its not the greatest but again its also a platform game and not a lot of platform games have that kind of detail in any of those games they are more like 2-D which makes Mario really good on graphics

For sound its just like the legend of Zelda ocarina of time (which is in another post of mine) that the music in the game is really catchy and is hard to get out of your head but at the same time each level has its very own sound for it so your not always listening to the same one all the time except for the map sound cause its just there for a just a little bit cause you going from one level to the next .

addictiveness is a 10 cause you could play this game and not relies what time it is till its to late and it makes what to play more and the more you die the more time it will take up and even if you stop playing it few days later you be right back at it playing it again so I think that this game deserve this rating cause you just don't want to stop playing it and it makes you come back for more.

the story got a 9 because i felt that the story was quiet long and the map was pretty big you got to do so much in that game that i may actually think that it is the longest game that Nintendo has ever made has to be will close to like 150 levels in that game if not more but i guess thats what makes this game so great and that what they need to do is make the games now long they what they make them cause honestly the games now you can beat within a day if you know what your doing i think it just gets boring after awhile .

Will there wasn't that much depth but with the story  being as long as it was thats what made the depth like yeah you get to fly and do other which was cool but it wasn't what gave the game depth it was the story and how big the map was for this game and it must ave been one of the biggest map Nintendo made as well ,

now about the difficulty it was fairly hard and i don't just mean it for one level i mean all of the ones past the first castle after that good luck getting far this game was one of the hardest game i have ever play but not taking anything away from this game cause this game for the most part was pretty good and it being as difficult as it is, is what makes it a good game because there is not better then a hard game cause it takes you long to complete and to complete will.
