  • It's called MARIO Sports Mix, not Mario AND DRAGON QUEST AND FINAL FANTASY Sports Mix. That, as a Mario fanboy, is plain stupid. I wanna unlock the secret levels, though.

    Oh wait, do I have any friends who are DQ and FF fans? Maybe, to play with them, I'll have to unlock characters... :(

  • The biggest flaw for ME is the unlock system, I hate the fact it has alternate routes and stuff. It should have just been simple like beat a cup on easy/hard mode to unlock a character or skin.

  • I got this on the first day of launch, I wanted to see what other people think of it. But sadly, I got bored of it after 2 weeks. I regret getting this game.

    But that's just my opinion.

  • yay i already have the game. plus the fanal boss of this game is HARD!! O_O

  • What button do you push to do those spischal moves

  • My dad is a master at hockey in videogames

  • 11:13 Luigi does the Smash Bros style!

  • I know I've commented before, but the main thing I enjoy about your reviews is that you're honest and to the point. Most gaming sites simply criticize these kinds of games, but at least you focus on the good and bad points. Good job, bud. ;)

  • he is right all the ppl u unlock is diffrent than mario games. atleast have rosalina included T.T

  • Is This Game Easy You Say? Fine. I like that. Does This Game Have Cutsenes

  • @The999444 No cutscenes sadly.

  • I actually like luigi's mansions theme

  • Hopefully this isn't off topic buuut

    Since they have both Mario characters and Square-Enix characters..

    Is there a reason why they haven't try using or thought of putting Mallow and Geno in the game???

    Don't get me wrong, i know they're a random choice to be use for this kind of game. But since Square Enix help made this game, it could had been the perfect opportunity to introduce the two forgotten heroes again.

  • @Smiley8DD Yeah. I want Geno instead of random Square Enix characters.

    My impression of the game: Putting Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy characters? NOW THAT'S PLAIN SHIT.

  • curse you square enix you suck at making mario games

  • Why did the not put Birdo in o_O, i mean she was in mpparty8, mkdd, and mkwii, why not here?

  • Wow! Thanks for all the details of Mario Sports Mix.. I believe I can ace this game once I get it! =)

  • Wii folderjosh I hate mario sports mix and squareenix I like black ops wii

  • Having returned to Josh's reviews after 2 years of watching I must say that the production value is just stellar. I ask myself why Josh doesn't align himself with Blistered Thumbs (God knows they could use a person to provide discussion of Wii games).

  • what software did u use to record this and edit it.

  • i thought white mage and blackmage were from that comic thearter thing....

    

  • Hey at the end when you cllect all sporets crystals theres gonna be a blackhole

  • 4:37 what about lacrosse? There's lots of bashing and pushing in that sport too!

  • You don't like NBA jam?

  • FINALLY SOMEONE LIKES DODGEBALL LIKE ME!!!

  • @100movieman omg that is my favorite sport to

  • in the video from 9:49 to 9:56 MASSIVE FIGHT!!!

  • @brawlmaster08 YES! Geno should have returned a LONG time ago. Most underused character EVER. PERIOD. LOUD NOISES.

  • Moogles, Cactuars, wait WAS THAT FUCKING VIVI?! Either way, if I see a black mage, it's Vivi to me. As nice as it would've been to put more Mario characters in, as a fan of Square's pre FFX-2 games, it's some damn sweet fan service and I'm sure that's how Square saw it.

  • "Moogles ugly evil face?" I hate you.

  • Moogle and Cactuar seem Mario enough. But the other ones can go.

  • When I go to select a sport, my dodgeball is golden!

  • Great vid but I think they should have made a football addition plus bring the whole baseball thing and golf thing back and put it on the game also including all the characters that were on those games making the ultimate Mario sport game and if they wanted to add secret characters maybe they could have talk to sega and got sonic but either way it's still a good game

  • Very nice review, Josh. I rarely watch reviews, and 15 minutes looked abit too much, you made it flow perfectly.

    BTW, I'd give a 10/10 for the footage you used. I could understand everything that was going on the screen.

    I would subscribe, but I'm not much of a gamer anymore. Otherwise, great job! :)

  • It isn't one of the best Mario games, but I like it very much.

  • its called the poltergust 5000

  • best game ever

  • 2:05 Togemon? xD

  • Considering Square created a bunch of Mario characters in Super Mario RPG that NEVER are used anymore, why not just have them in this game? Not like we forgot about people like Geno, Mallow, or Booster ya'know.

  • I have this game Mario Sports Mix and it's so very amazing. I play this game alot of times. I even have my friends play the game along with me. We all love the game. I find this game very easy to play. I love the different songs that play in the background of the game. The songs in the game are pretty catchy and fun to listen to. I'm never gonna get tired of this game. I'm gonna love it forever. Mario Sports Mix rules!!! :)

  • @ShiningDStar I couldn't agree more. :)

  • @TheMack625 I'm glad you agree with me. :)

  • What's Hot

    1.It's easy to pick up and play!

    2.Luigi can use a vacuum cleaner to steal a hockey puck! Awesome!

    3.Classic Mario power-ups like shells and banana peels!

    What's Not

    1.It gets really old,really fast.

    2.The graphics for Tutorial Mode are sooo last gen.

    3.Not enough minigames to make this a legit party game.

  • @directions34 I too found that this game has very very short replay value. In time it just becomes very bland and boring. It certainly cannot hold a candle to other Mario Sports games in many ways - one being how long it'll keep your attention. Hell I still play Mario Baseball on Wii.

  • @WiiFolderJosh I disagree very much this too me very replayble unlocking the alternate routes and unlocking the character its one of my most played Wii Games.

  • @WiiFolderJosh The only reason I want this game is WiFi. Most single player Mario games aren't that great. Just look at Mario Kart Wii; They punish you for your skills with blue shells.

  • @whatamadman12 Mario Kart Wii is tons of fun to play with friends together.

  • @WiiFolderJosh Yes, it is fun on WiFi and with friends, but I was referring to Grand Prix mode. It makes me >.> every time. Literally 6 blue shells every track nowadays.

  • @whatamadman12 I know right! I always thought Mario Kart games are a little bit unfair at times, being hit with items with no way to dodge them. Nintendo should really make a way to dodge the blue shell without any glitches in the next Mario Kart game, which will probably be on the Wii U.

  • The music at 8:48 remind me of something you would hear in Super Mario Galaxy 2

  • Please be aware the Square Enix is a big part of this game. So the music is Nintendo/Square Enix mix. When you think about it, don't let the unlockables make you mad. What's better then playing good ol' fashion Mario characters. I was disappointed that there were no Mario characters to unlock. But they already have most of the good Mario characters unlocked.

  • wich game should i buy mario sports mix or super mario strikers charged?? o.O??

  • @ALEX15855 Mario Strikers Charged.

  • @ALEX15855 mario sports mix

  • oh and how do u get golden balls/pucks?

  • @MrTartancam You have to beat every sport AGAIN but in hard mode

  • how do u get the [?] cup

  • @MrTartancam you dont unlock the cup you have to get the unlockable coarses which are in the secret paths

  • Its called Mario sports mix because of all four sports in one game but aswell if you win all the tornermounts in all four sports and defeat the Behemouth once youve done that you'll unlock mix game mode basicly a mix of all four games at a very hard difficulty at no perticcular oeder but overall I agree its quite good(Iknow all this cause ive got the game)

  • Who cares if the Bob-Omb minigame music doesn't sound like Mario music, it's flippin' awesome!

  • lol!! this looks great!!! im gunna get this!!! thats what hockey is like in my skwwl!! RLLY PAINFULL!!! and crazy! lol

  • I have suggestions for more games for this compilation. Four games is an OK number, but a few more would be nice.

    -Bowling (the Wii Sports version was a LOT of fun; they should make a Mario bowling game!)

    - American football (may be too complicated, but what do you think?)

    - Surfing

    - Skateboarding

    - Boxing

  • A Giant mecha Waluigi thats vomits up pinballs on to the court!

  • you said everything that is correct unlike ing

  • Your right about everything.

    -The only unlockable characters have nothing to do from older Mario games

    -You have to unlock characters 4 times

    -Moogle's face is ugly

  • cool

  • ...Nintendo... and Square (Enix)... Where the hell is Geno?!

  • What kind of control does this game use?

  • Whoever has this game.

    Can someone tell me if this game is good?

  • i like the final fantasy character, but come on, no cloud an sephiroth, that iw oudl have liked to see

  • game deserves a 7

  • I agree with the characters thing. They should have kept it is a little more mario based by adding unlockable characters like the koopas, toadsworth, shy guys (different colors), birdo, dry bones, dry bowser, the babies of mario, luigi, peach, and daisy, king boo and boo, wiggler, fly guy, goobas, magikoopas, and the list goes on and on. I think this was a poor move by them and could've been avoided, but otherwise the game is great. The FF characters are to overwellming since they are the best.

  • thanks to gamespot I almost miss this gem...LOT's OF FUN!

  • who is that girl from? the one you can unlock.

  • This is a good review for the game

  • Geno and Mallow should have been in this game

  • How do you change Slime's color?

  • ok after i heard that you had to unlock the unlockable multiple times i went and cheat site and I was like wow that will be annoying and in some cases hard to unlock my faveroute stage /characters nultiple times

  • GameInformer rated this as a 4.5.

  • Josh, your the only review with that has a 8+!!!I agree with your opinion of it being good :P

  • nice review :D

  • how do you even unlock characters? tournament mode?

  • I knew I shouldnt have looked at the secret characters now I really dont wanna unlock em. wut have liked to see

    Toadette

    Birdo

    Boo

    Baby Mario (Baby Luigi as alternate Color)

    Baby Peach (Baby Daisy as alternate Color)

    Shadow Mario

    as the hidden character set up

    oh well

  • was i the only 1 who likes nba jam lolz

  • Cool review, dude :)

  • I think the the Final Fantasy characters and Slime are a great addition to the game. If could add one Mario Bros. character, it would be Boo. I noticed that Boo was in almost all Mario Sports games made.

  • you know you should make you own game of the year lineup. we cant have any hope other sites to make good fair anything about the Wii. IGN/ XPLAY/ AND GAMESPOT come to mind.

  • Hey WiiFolderJosh,

    if you developed this game,

    which Mario Characters would you

    have unlockable?

    Here's who I'd put in

    Shy Guy, Petey Piranha and Shadow Mario - Unlockable

    Toadette, and Boo - Default

  • I don't mind if you when you unlock something you have to unlock it on the other sports, I already completed the Star Roads and I got Ninja, White & Black Mage unlocked on every sport.

  • @TicksterxX yeah but to get cactuar u need to play 60 games in each sport and if u don't like a sport it can get annoying.

  • gibt es bei waluigi s arena auch basketball

  • I got this game about a week ago because of you. :D

  • Great review! But in case you were wondering,

    they have Final Fantasy people and other Square Enix people because they were the developers, but I agree, I like the Sqaure Enix people, but I think they should of had more Mario unlockables.

  • @Micbriffal41 Just because you are the developer of a game doesn't mean you should put your characters in it.

  • @WiiFolderJosh He didn't say "The developers had to put some of their characters in the game" He only said that's why there ARE FF characters in the game. I'm just glad they're CLASSIC characters.

  • @Micbriffal41 I think more people would rather have the FF characters. But there still should be more unlockables.

  • 0:24 AND the only good, make that great review of Mario Sports Mix.

  • Mario can't seem to play basketball without some FF characters wanting a piece of him it seems now.

  • Can you reset your online stats? Like if you've lost like 20 matches can you just restart it without having to delete your entire game!?

  • @SwooshParker You would have to delete your wifi profile.

  • @WiiFolderJosh i thought u were mamamia?

  • Very, very good review, Josh. In fact, I enjoy almost all of your video reviews on Mario games (particularly this one and Donkey Kong Barrel Blast). Of course, Mario chracters WOULD be preferable over Final Fantasy ones, but it's still good. Keep up the good work, bud! :)

  • Slime is as strong as Bowser. XD

  • 11:09 Exactly What i do to waste time in hocey even tho i got every character and everything unlocked :(

  • I love the collab of the Square characters and the mario characters!Cactuar and Slime vs Mario and Luigi,most epic battle evar!!!!!!!!

  • I so wish they would've put Rosalina, King Boo, or even the koopalings instead of final fantasy charachters.

  • 09:02 it sounf like bomberman music...I LIKE IT!

  • got 1 question please give reply first great review way better than ign but can you play 3 players in tournament mode please reply

  • Very proffesional review! This is the score this game earns not a 6.5. You mentioned the most important parts too!

  • I got one question for you Josh. On IGN cheats for Mario sports mix you wrote that you can get Rosalina by beating all minigames in Basketball, volleyball, hockey and dodgeball in that order. Do you mean the Party games by minigames. And can you really get Rosalina??? Please answer!!!

  • @Theneverendingdeath1 No,you cant. It was a lie.

  • @CountBleck222 Weird that Josh would wrote a lie on IGN cheats.

  • @Theneverendingdeath1 Not really. I think he was assuming she would be in or something.

  • @CountBleck222 Weird he sad in the review that it was only Final Fantasy charcters in the game.

  • @CountBleck222 I just read on thebitblock on his video review there and then he said that there must be someone who prettended to be him and wrote that. Sorry Josh!!

  • When do you get the branching routes in the game?

  • @98Nintendoguy Definitely DKCR or donkey kong country returns. Challenging and fun! :)

  • Sense its mario sports mix.The charaters might be different.

  • I love this game i just bought and its grate but i will probally gat tired of it soon LOL XD

  • loved you sarcasm in this review especially the meca waluigi bit haha :D x

  • How did you get the alternate colors for slime and the others?

    And also how'd you do that at 13:58?

  • Every other review hates dodgeball but I think it looks the most fun. If it was 1 hit and you're out it would be too quick and no fun!

    And when you play basketball are you using the wii remote to shoot like in Wii Sports Resort?

    And you can play 2 players on wifi but can you play with 4 players on 1 wii for the exhibition matches? Why only 3 in the tournament and not 4!? :o

  • this review is amazing IGN was much worse then this review

  • What do think is the best game this or donkey kong country returns

  • You are SOOOOOO much better then IGN review, but there one thing i disagreed about your review. I think the music is AWESOME, but i don't understand why you don't like the music??? OH and DODGEBALL IS THE BEST!!!!

  • Wario's Factory music is.. kinda dramatic for the stage. I like it though..

  • Great review! and my favourite music in the game is definetley luigis mansion,

    its also my favourite court to play on. the game gets 9.8/10 from me personally, it dosent get old!

  • Okay, so let me get this straight. A gaint Mecha Waluigi, whom has never appeared before this point in time, vomits up giant pinballs in a court based on a track in Mario Kart DS.

    My mind has become a million tiny pieces and my eyes have not seen anything as awesome as that. EVER.

  • Holy shit, you seriously didn't like Bob-omb Dodge's music? That's candidate for the best track in the game, which is saying something. Well, I guess there's no accounting for taste...

  • In my opinion, having Rosalina and Funky Kong would have made the game better.

    But that's just me.

  • They Forgot Mario FootBall

  • ur review is 1000 times better than gametrailers or ign so what if it isnt very innovative it has wifi

  • hang on did you say that a moogle had a evil ugly face. now im not going to sub

  • 11:13 Luigi missle! Side B from smash bros! :P

  • This review was MUCH better than the other so-called "professional" reviewers such as IGN or Gametrailers

  • @DanTheMan33088 including irategamer?

  • @DanTheMan33088 Dont forget gamespot *COUGH COUGH*

  • @piplup10036 yeah them too :)

  • Wow, an actual review of this game that isn't a couple of idiots who don't know how to play skipping the controls and diving into modes without knowing anything about it, making the gameplay seem piss poor when its really just them sucking and then they bash the game because they can't get any action out of it which again is the result of them sucking. An unbiased review that actually informs people of how the game is. I commend you good sir.

  • Ign gave this a 6.5, bull to the shit. I have played this game and it is fun to play againist good players, u are not going to get satisfaction from beating the computers. The online is where this game is at and IGN fails to see that.

  • The Square-Enix characters are there because they carry over from Mario Hoops 3 on 3 on the DS, which the Basketball portion of this game is semi-based on. Slime is new, but the Final Fantasy characters are not.

  • I wish Mario would take a spin in American Football. I think I'd be waiting forever for that due to the lack of world-wide popularity of the sport though

  • CAN YOU USE GAMECUBE CONTROLLERS

  • I think it would be awesome to play as a Slime!

    Slimes are cool! The only thing I dont like are all the FINAL FANTASY characters...

    Dragon Quest is more awesome than Final Fantasy!

  • i mean seriously!? they could have had petey pirahna shy guys king boo birdo toadette and all kinds of mario enemies we have never gotten to play as before like goombas and bowsers children! but instead they give us these lame characters that do not belong in a mario game

  • It's called "Mario Sports Mix" that word "MIX" in there is saying everything is mixed in, Like the Final Fantasy Characters they are "MIXED" in the game, and the characters don't really bother me at all since its a "MIX"

  • @IcyFlameFilms No, the MIX in the game's title is referring to the sports being mixed in together.

  • @WiiFolderJosh I say you're both right. the MIX can mean that there are multiple sports and FF characters. I personally like it.

  • @WiiFolderJosh The mix is also the mix of square enix and nintendo an because square enix made the geme they can put who ever in nintendo just published the game RIGHT?????????????

  • @WiiFolderJosh well no duh dumbass not you wiifolderjosh but icyflamefilms

  • @WiiFolderJosh  Well Iiked makeing my team my mii toad and slime!

  • @IcyFlameFilms HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA god this people amaze me

  • @IcyFlameFilms its called MARIO sports mix =)

  • The unlocking shortcomings suck, but I LOVE the fact that there are random final fantasy characters in there. No one was complaining when Sonic and Snake ended up in smash bros =] Except in this case it at least makes sense since square enix developed the game.

  • Hold da phone.So i have to say,a dragon's quest charater is in there?Well this is entertainment....

  • lol daisy fell in love with peach

  • cool

  • you always have sick reviews.but are those the only yoshi colors?

  • @RicksSpine565

    Each character gets 3 extra colors to choose from.

    Yoshi has Green (default obviously), Pink, Yellow, and light blue.

  • dude i am giving you 10 points for the fold because this was the first review for mario sports mix

  • dude where did you get mario sports mix I WANT THAT

  • @Mr23Jakob

    Its imported from japan.

  • i like the main menu music

  • the dodge ball is just like deca sports dodgeball (but its gonna be better than decasports_wich deca sports is the bootleg version of wii sports)

  • THANK YOU you are the only one who really understands the stupidness of the final fantasy characters besides me!

  • Nice review, i think i'll definatley get this game now! Seems like a lot of fun! :D Will keep me entertained until the 3DS comes out!

  • man, I cant wait to play with White/Black Mage...

  • I wish the Chocobo was playable, but hey, it is at least repped by the theme and a 16 bit picture on the stadium floor.

  • @SnipingIsFun

    Yeah, the problem is, while I can picture it playing hockey and volleyball, dodgeball and basketball would be confusing (unless they used the chocobo chick from the chocobo mystery dungeon)

  • @WiiFolderJosh Hey Josh, loved the video and Wii Folder but I have a question. I saw on IGN that you put down that certain characters can be unlocked by playing a certain amount of games like Slime and Cauctar. However, I would like to know if online matchs count because I don't want to grind againist the CPU to unlock them. Also, how do you get to Star Road? Please Respond- PkKirby876

  • unlocking all characters and stages in all sports might keep me playing for a long time
