There are checkpoints that let you start each game from the most recent point that you reached. While you can go down into the green pipes to be transported to different locations, there are unsafe plants that you will want to avoid that appear from the pipes. If you get hit by a stationary or moving turtle shell, then you can get injured. There are safe mushrooms that you can collect for boosts, and there are dangerous ones that can hurt you. You can bounce against surfaces to break them open and release mushrooms, points, etc.

The animated user interface resembles the first Mario game. The action game will tell you to press the down button while on the pipes. You will first be told to use the space button to jump. There are prompts that teach you how to play throughout the platforming game.

Mario will need to rescue the land and people from Koopa the dragon and his tanks. The purpose of the game is to save the Toadstool land from the reptile that wants to conquer the area and imprison the Toadstool people. There is a cinematic opening scene with basic graphics and catchy music that tells you the storyline. You can enter into the level that you want to go into by dropping down through the pipe associated with that number. The screen will tell you to choose a world. There are eight worlds that you can explore in Mario Forever. You will transition to the ‘Save Game Room’ after you click on ‘Start Game’. You can download the Mario Forever soundtrack in the lower right corner of the UI. The menu is bursting with graphics from the original games. There will be a brightly colored user interface with menu options when you launch the platform game: ‘Start Game’, ‘Game Options’, ‘Level Editor’, ‘Secrets’, ‘Mario Fan Games’, and ‘Quit Game’.
