Hotel Mario: Difference between revisions

After [[Larry Koopa|Larry]] is conquered, the cave explodes, with the princess flying out of it. Mario and Luigi prepare to catch her, but find that she is not falling. Mario realizes that she is in the clouds, and the [[Lemmy's High-ate Regency Hotel|High-ate Regency Hotel]] is revealed. Luigi kicks a nearby [[Exclamation Mark Block]], which causes a [[vine]] to sprout out of it and into the sky above. In the hotel, there is a cloud which diverts Mario. He finds a room where he turns on a fan which blows the cloud away. Once [[Lemmy Koopa|Lemmy]] is defeated, Mario, Luigi, and the princess escape. Lemmy also tries to flee, but a massive fan blows both him and the hotel away before he can reach them. However, the princess suddenly magically vanishes. Back on the ground, Mario and Luigi take sight of another one of the Koopalings' hotels, this time the [[Ludwig's Thump Castle Hotel|Thump Castle Hotel]]. Just as they are about to enter, the entrance disappears, but reappears near instantly after. In the hotel, there are vanishing doors. Mario finds a room with a liquid that stops the doors from vanishing.

|''"Hotel Mario is one tough game to play and beat. You might never solve it. This game is one to check out if you like the action/strategy genre. It's one of the toughest Mario games."'' [Issue 66 (July 1994), p. 79]

|''"The game sounds simple enough: go through several levels while banishing Koopa Troopas and other enemies. However, this is quite addictive stuff and it is strongly recommended you use the joypad for max. enjoyment."'' [Issue 95 (June 1994), p. 40]

|rowspan=4|''"The game is fun, but you'll soon be bored. Younger kids will need some adult guidance to overcome the tough challenges. Mario maniacs might want to check out this Mushroom Kingdom, even if they just end up watching the cartoons."'' [Issue 62 (September 1994), p. 108]
