Mario Clash

Mario Clash, sometimes known as Mario Smash is a game released for the Virtual Boy in 1995. The game is a return to the style of the original Mario Bros. To progress through the game, Mario must knock enemies off platforms using Koopa Shells. There are always two Koopas; if one gets knocked off, another one takes its place. Many enemies need to be hit from the side, thus Mario must throw Koopa shells from the background to the foreground and vice-versa in order to knock them off.

Enemies



 * Koopa Troopa
 * Spike Top
 * Thorny
 * Paragoomba
 * Lobb
 * Sidestepper
 * Boo
 * Snake
 * Pokey

Reception
The game received mixed reviews, and half of the comments by critics were complaints stating that the game was too long. ScrewAttack named this video game "The second worst Mario video game of all time", while other reviews were kinder. The Video Game Critic gave it an A and called it a "must have for Virtual Boy owners".
