The Super Mario Chronicles or rather Secret Mario Chronicles (SMC) is a good game.
But there still is quite some work to be done before actually packaging it into a GamesLiveCD.
The levels are incomplete in some places. The saved games in the list have levels that are not there in the actual game (which keeps you wondering which world they come from....)
And ofcourse the lacking originality very rightly put up by Hans.
