What I love about this game is that there's 4 sports in one, with Mario, Final Fantasy, and even a Dragon Quest character. This game is fun to play with, and I love this game. In my opinion, this game is awesome.

I thought this would be like Mario strikers or Mario tennis but with football basketball and hockey. The gameplay is not compelling and it's very bland. It's not bad its just disappointing (which may be worse).

Here are short individual reviews on the four sports in the order that I enjoyed them... Hockey - Where is the goalie? The computer controlled goalie is not good at all. The first time I played this game I scored 4 goals in my first 4 shots. Also, what is with the train that randomly crashes through the center of the goal. Unnecesary and annoying I say. The worst part is that there is no fighting. In other words it is simply another version of Super Mario Strikers, but nowhere as good and on ice. Sidenote: Why is the puck a coin? Dodgeball - It is way easier to catch the ball than to actually try dodging it. 3 players on each team have circular health bars and by throwing the ball with a shake of the Wiimote, you have to hope it hits someone on the other team. You can pick and choose who you want to aim at. Catching the ball whether straight up or off a deflection will prevent damage. Unique special moves add to the gimmick of this game. There are three problems I see with this game. The first is that you are able pass it to a character on the opponents sidelines or backline to get a better shot. Also, sometimes a player will cross the middle line when making a throw. What is up with that? The worst is the excessively long shotclock that a player gets to throw the ball. They can run out the clock for an easy win. Whoever has more players standing at the end wins. If there is an equal amount it will come to a sudden death. Volleyball - Not too much fun to be had here. Basically there can be 2 or 3 players on each team and you serve return or block balls. It seems hard to set up a shot for a nice spike. The returns can knock a player off balance and you will be forced to simply have it free fall back. Also, all games are played to 15 points (win by 2) as opposed to the standard 25. Again, there are unique special moves for each player to add the gimmick of the game. I do like that you can block shots too. The biggest complaint I have about the game is that the ball never really goes out of bounds which is unrealistic. If you are a hardcore volleyball fan like myself you will enjoy it for what it is: a really basic volleyball game for the Wii. Basketball - This game deserves the lowest rating of all four minigames. The constant goaltending breaks the game when you are playing someone competent in multiplayer. The only way to get around the goaltending is to shoot full court shots and unlike NBA Jam, they don't go in when you are losing. Forget about the 3 pointer, this is just a dunk fest. If you are going to score, you will have to A) Use a good item. B) Use a special move once your power meter fills up (and even this is not guaranteed to work). C) Get lucky on a fastbreak. D) Catch your teammate offguard with an alleyoop. Heres some sports that could have made Mario Sports Mix a good game: American football Boxing Tennis Swimming Soccer Mixed Martial Arts Parkour Was this just a halfhearted attempt to finally cover every sport with Mario and company?Read full review

Cute package of 4 sports titles clearly not big enough to be their own game. For cheap enough, this can be a fun time with 2-4 friends, much like more popular Mario sports titles. Would definitely recommend!
