Alleyway is a video game for the Game Boy. It was developed by Intelligent Systems and published by Nintendo in 1989. It is a classic Breakout-style game of the Super Mario franchise that requires the player to clear out all of the breakable blocks above, without allowing the ball to go below the paddle. Mario is shown to be controlling the paddle in both the game's intro and cover art for Western releases. Alleyway was re-released on the Nintendo 3DS's Virtual Console in 2011.
Gameplay[edit]
The goal of the game is that the player must control the paddle to break all the remaining bricks in the playfield by using a ball. When the player successfully breaks the breakable bricks, the player moves onto the next level. In the next level, there is the same block structure as from the previous level. The main difference is that there are three different types of patterns that make the levels challenging, though using the same level.
- Normal Block Screen: Nothing at all. The bricks simply stay in place.
- Scrolling Block Screen: The rows of bricks move either left or right depending on the level the player is in.
- Advancing Block Screen: The rows of bricks push down towards the paddle after a few bricks are destroyed. Additionally, the top of the screen will sometimes either reveal more bricks for the player to destroy with the same brick pattern; or the steel bricks the player cannot break.
Every fourth round the player enters a bonus level; the bonus levels feature various sprite pieces of Super Mario enemies and characters, based on their appearance from Super Mario Bros.:
Additionally in the bonus level, the ball can destroy the bricks without bumping around the playfield; also there is a timer that contains 99 game seconds. If the player destroys all the bricks before the timer runs out, the player gains bonus points. After the bonus level ends, the rounds repeat, but with a new set of bricks.
Nintendo eShop description[edit]
Original[edit]
Originally released at the launch of the Game Boy, Alleyway is a fondly remembered update to the classic ‘bat and ball’ style of games.
The aim is simple: survive and rack up a huge high score! Take control of the paddle and deflect the ball to break the blocks, but don’t let it drop. Break all the blocks to move onto the next of 32 challenging stages.
It starts out simple but later levels introduce walls of blocks that move horizontally or vertically. You can also enjoy bonus stages where the aim is to break as many blocks as possible within the time limit.
Updated[edit]
Your spaceship is at the gate of the Alleyway™.
As Mario™, you will need to use your vessel to deflect the energy ball towards oncoming space grids. Hitting the grids will either weaken or destroy them, and you'll need to keep returning shots until the entire field is cleared!
As you progress through each level, you will confront new challenges of alternating stages, bonus rounds, and more. Speed and agile reflexes will quickly become your strongest allies as you reach to beat the top score!
You're in command in the Alleyway!
