Overview
Description

Hotel Mario is a puzzle‑platformer where Mario and Luigi must shut every door across multiple hotel floors while battling mischievous enemies that reopen them. Using elevators to move between levels, players navigate seven Koopa‑run hotels, each with a set of increasingly tricky stages.

Sonic Colors is a platforming adventure starring Sonic the Hedgehog as he battles Dr. Eggman in an intergalactic amusement park. The game blends 3D third‑person runs with side‑scrolling sections and introduces Wisps, alien power‑ups that grant new abilities. Released worldwide for Wii and Nintendo DS in November 2010, the title offers both single‑player and multiplayer modes, appealing to younger gamers and families with its colorful visuals and accessible difficulty.
