Just in case you don't know, the PC-8801 was a Japanese computer that had very little to do with the IBM PC and compatibles of the West; considering it was Z80-based, it might be considered closer to the MSX.Originally Posted by aryoshi

It isn't a "console game ported over to a PC", it's a unique Mario title that happens to suck. I have the X1 version, along with Punch Ball Mario and Mario Bros. Special. The latter two are much more playable.
I am pretty sure I was pointed to this a few years ago and I tried it out somewhere -- probably at the Midwest Gaming Classic. Usually, I'm such a 2D Mario nerd that it would have caused me to seek it out and buy it to play a bunch myself, but it is such a cluster of junk that I couldn't even bring myself to play it for 15 minutes.
