If you're into puzzles, then this game is definitely for you! If you haven't done picross puzzles before, then don't worry, as Nintendo introduces you to the puzzles very slowly. There is a great tutorial to start you off, and from then on a very slow learning curve. This will possibly bore people who are used to these puzzles, as you'll find the first 20 or so puzzles extremely easy. However, that just means it won't take you that long to get onto the harder puzzles.
All in all, there are 192 puzzles. Each with quite interesting pictures to create and with increasing levels of difficulty. You get 30 minutes to do each puzzle so someone who is used to picross/griddler puzzles should be able to do them first time. Only some of them may take two or more attempts. However, if you're new some will probably take you over 3 attempts.
The controls are very basic, as with most GB games. You press 'A' to colour in a square and you hit 'B' to cross out a square. As simple as that. It's a great time filler as each puzzle will take around 5-15 minutes, so if you ever have a bit of spare time and nothing to do, or just want to fill time on a long journey, you can complete a few puzzles.
In summary, I think this is a fantastic game if you're into puzzles or if you're looking for a game that doesn't require you play for hours at a time. You can pick it up and play at any time. There is also a save function which means if you need to leave during a puzzle you can come back to it later. I really enjoyed this game and have played the puzzles many times. And once you've completed the main game there are numerous 'time trial' puzzles to complete so there is great longevity in this game. I bought this game when I was about 10 and I still pick it up and play it sometimes to this day (I'm now 21)!
Just a note - if you're buying this just because you like Mario then don't! His picture is there simply to endorse the product and there is very little Mario influence in the game. His picture is used and some of the puzzles create pictures of Mario characters, but other than that this is nothing like a Mario game.
