Hotel Mario: A Fan-Made Upgrade of One of the Worst Mario Games

Hotel Mario is known for its simplistic mechanics and infamous cutscenes. Originally released in 1994 for the Philips CD-i, it was often listed among Nintendo's least successful titles due to its awkward gameplay and poorly received FMV sequences.

Background on Hotel Mario

Original Reception: The game initially received mixed reviews. Its soundtrack and novel concept of closing doors to defeat enemies were praised, while controls, art style, and cutscenes faced criticism.
Cult Following: Despite negative feedback, the game has gained a cult following over the years, known for its "so bad it's good" reputation.

Fan-Made Upgrade

Developers have launched a fan-made project to address these issues by enhancing graphics and refining controls. This initiative seeks to create an improved version of Hotel Mario that retains its quirky charm while offering a more polished experience.

Are you in the "so bad it's good" camp when it comes to Hotel Mario?

If Nintendo take this project down then it means they feel some level of ownership over the CD-i games.
