YOU SHOULD DEFINITELY CONTINUE! (as long as you are passionate, dont force yourself lol) it is a very solid game and premise and the art is so great and aaaa, just yeah its great good job

wow this is a really cool concept, i love how (not) mario is a sort of unstoppable force and the execution of this with the almost second person camera control in the minion section i thought was very unique.

the game was a little too unforgiving at times however, like it felt like (not) mario could stomp you so easily and that his extra lives made it difficult to widdle him down. the same goes for the (not) bowser fight where it felt like (not) mario was unstoppable and i think it would be more balanced if (not) bowser could run into him or stomp on him to deal damage like in the original game. But i dont think any of this was bad, I think it was a fun challenge and should not be scrapped. i feel like this could be a hard mode or extra challenge that is unlocked. I think first run through it would work better if the game adheared to more mario like rules, straight fire flower shots, only 3 lives and enemy respawns, maybe give bowser a way to heal. but then aas it is now could be an added challenge as it was still fun. 

i also feel like there could be a bit more added to the story, even if slight, to add to the humor. it is shown that (not) mario is meant to be more of a villain so maybe a few lines of text with the princess asking the monster to save her or just that she wants to escape would reinforce that, and then at the end a little extra with the monster and the princess running away together would make it more sympathetic, because as is it still seems like the monster kidnapped her rather than saved her. also the (not) luigi fight i very much enjoyed the concept of but i felt like it would work better as a hidden boss fight (perhaps only in hard mode or unlocked in some way), that way it would feel more special. 

all around i thought the game was very promising, good job :]

fun game with great art
