    I had a lot of high hopes for this game, and when I got it, I was majorly disappointed. But that's not to say it was all bad. But for the most part, it not at all what I expected, and not in a good way.

    My best experience would have to be Tennis. It's button combinations mixed with precise timing made it simple but fun. Not to mention the flashy graphics make tennis a look a lot more

    Horse Racing is good. I like the idea of raising your own horse like a pet. The main sport is okay, but I'd rather stick to Mario Kart if I wanted a racing game.

    Baseball is okay. The problem with it is that is that the game makes batting and pitching more complicating than it should be, and you don't have much control over the fielders. Besides, I'd rather play Mario Super Sluggers on my Wii.

    Golf is basically just Mario Golf: World Tour without the items and beautiful locations. so it makes it more boring and drab.

    Soccer is bitterly awful. There's little to no control over the characters, there's no items or special moves like in Mario Strikers, and it goes on for too long.

    Sports like Tennis and Horse Racing are fine, but the other 3 are just too complicated and boring. The overall problem with this game is that it's too realistic, which is unsettling for a Mario game. So if you like that style of sports games, go for it. But, if you're like me, who likes game with a bit more pizzazz, then skip it. Mario Sports Mix could be better.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The fact that they almost copied Mario Golf World Tour and Mario Tennis Open is the most surprising thing this game offers. Expand

    Bit underwhelming, had high hopes for this game, ended up being just a bit disappointing.

    A nice collection, but nothing excels. [Issue#186, p.79]

    Superstars didn't just drop the ball, it falls over, face first, into a steaming pile of horse dung. Avoid. [May 2017, p.69]

    Mario Sports Superstars is bursting at the seams with a varied collection of enjoyable content. If you're a fan of Mario's sports games then this is one compilation that you'll likely find yourself enjoying for years to come.
