Marble Madness/Klax
- Marble Madness - Guide your marble through various courses, to reach the goal. Avoid the marble munchers, the steelie marble, acid pools and the marble-sucking vacuum. Race against time as you beat obstacles like mazes, ice patches, tunnels and catapults in a fun all-ages romp!
- Klax - The concept is simple, the challenge is not. Colored tiles tumble down a conveyor belt -- catch them and arrange as instructed. Use your reflexes to stay ahead of the game as things begin to speed up!

Terrible in General
Marble Madness=Boring Hourse of 'entertainment'
Marble Madness is a game that is supposivley 2 be fun. You roll a marble around, avoid obstacles & get a high score. Thats all there is too it. The quality of the game is terrible. It is just TERRIBLE! There are no bright colors in the game (which would have definitley made a difference) The colors are just dull & have a gray tint in them. Nothing cheerful 2 make you feel good. The contols are VERY hard 2 master & use. I really wouldn't have minded Marble Madness as much (I could give it two stars) if there was a SAVE BUTTON or atleast when you defeat a level you can go o it again without doing all the previous levels. Another complaint, the levels are TOO HARD! Too many unexpected falls, barely any insturctions on how 2 control the marble & what instructions there are is VERY hard 2 read. I really expected this game 2 be like Marble Blast from GarageGames (Windows & Mac) but by all means... this is MILLIONS times worse! I plan 2 trade it in & get some credit at our local gaming store but I wouldn't be that surprised if they only gave me a penny of credit.
The only other part of the game I'm not too upset about is the price. $14.99 is not that bad. I personally think it should be a $1 game but, $14.99 is better than $19.99-$32.99 (price range of regular GBA games.
Thats all I have 2 say about the game, please consider my opinion 4 your decision 2 buy the game or not. I say not more but 4 you 2 be able be happy with your choice (to buy or not 2 buy) whichever you choose.

Avoid!!!!
This is the worst port of Marble Madness I have ever played. It is impossible 2 control the little marble. It moves sluggishly, & unexpectedly wanders off of the platforms at unexpected times. Collisions with enemies or a wall will often cause unexpected results, & certain parts of the game are just plain broken. Also, some obstacles & traps have been changed (to save time 4 the programmers?)
I have played Marble Madness in almost every edition 4 many different consoles. The older version 4 the BnW Gameboy is vastly superior, which is really sad. Go out & find an old Sega GameGear & a copy of the game 4 that system if you want portable color Marble Madness fun.
The version of Klax which is offered here is passable. On the older GBA it is very hard 2 tell the difference between the colors, but the game is true 2 the arcade classic (unlike Marble Madness, urgg!!). On newer GBA SP systems, or the DS, Klax looks great, & it is really a fun game!
It's too bad Klax got mixed up wih this inferior attempt at Marble Madness.

Marble Madness / Klax tests your thinking skills with great arcade puzzle action.

Level 2 Black steele marble is replaced by a marble muncher
Level 3 There are no waves leaving only a flat green ground
At least klax is the complete game so if you still want this cartridge buy it 4 klax only NOT marble madness. If you still want the feel of marble madness buy the game boy color game instead. For some people it may not be perfect but, I've been playing this game and, it is marble madness with all six levels & every obstacle & enemy exactly as I remembered it in the NES version except a little harder. In conclusion, I think that any future classic game compilations should not be left up 2 DSI games because they will only cut corners & make it a complete disaster 2 gamers all around the world.
