One of the stronger books for sure with some neat challenges and actual planning involved without being too merciless. It's too bad the scoring is borked in that winning the book automatically gives you the high score. There aren't a whole lot of settings either location wise, but the zany premise makes up for it. Basically some basketball shoes take off on their own with Peach wearing them! It gets weirder from there.

THIS mario book is fucking bullshit
it gives me a puzzle
i got it right
and it fucking PUNISHED me for it
it was like
"work out the combination!"
if its this one, go to page X. if its this one, go to page Y
i work it out to be X
the description is like "the door opens! unfortunately its filled with bowling balls that fall out and crush the plumbers. they are luckily unhurt but all their belongings are destroyed. if you had the basketball and the starman, they are now gone. you also lose all your coins."
on the other page its just mario going "look a different door!" and the story progresses
fucking bullshit
i was just like
fuck you
and went back
i didnt roll with it bc thats utter bullshit
i savescummed a children's CYOA mario book

well, nitendo finally wrote its book. This basically means that Mario and his brother Luigi has to save princess peach from browser. The plot is always the same it is now pretty boring. However,this contains the special guest of honour Mario.
