==DSi Shop description== | |||
===American=== | |||
''Turn back time and enjoy a bit of classic game play based on the original Super Mario Bros. with Mario Clock. Help Mario and Luigi collect more coins than ever (POW block anyone?) while they run through a variety of stages. Gather enough coins and you'll be treated to another scene bound to bring back fond memories for many. Mario Clock includes both analog and digital clocks that use the system's internal clock or allow you to offset the time however you like. Program up to three alarms (with snooze functionality for those that need it) and assign them a Mario-related sound or use one created in the Nintendo DSi™ Sound application. You'll find yourself thinking "Just a few more coins..." in no time!'' | |||
===European=== | |||
''With Mario Clock, you'll always have the time wherever you go! Wake up with classic Mario music, or simply use the Nintendo DSi system as a desktop clock complete with a Super Mario Bros. background. You can even make Mario jump, bash blocks and collect coins!'' | |||
''Customise the clock to your liking: choose from analog or digital displays, 12-hour or 24-hour modes, and set up to three separate alarms with different NES-style Mario tunes or use your own saved sounds from the Nintendo DSi Sound application.'' | |||

For every 100 coins collected, [[Mario]] swaps out for [[Luigi]], or vice versa, and their sprite appears over the numbers on the clock. When 1,200 coins are collected, they will arrive at [[World 8-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-4]], and [[Princess Peach]] will thank the player and introduce them to another quest. | |||

Corbie Dillard of Nintendo Life called the application "[a] waste of time", finding it "a bit more practical than the Animal Crossing Clock" but ultimately still redundant to the clock on the Nintendo DSi Menu.<ref> | Corbie Dillard of Nintendo Life called the application "[a] waste of time", finding it "a bit more practical than the Animal Crossing Clock" but ultimately still redundant to the clock on the Nintendo DSi Menu.<ref>[http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/2009/06/mario_clock_dsiware]</ref> | ||
Craig Harris of IGN was extremely critical of ''Mario Clock'', saying it is "not worth even the budget 200 points." He mainly criticized the application's uselessness in comparison to ''[[Mario Calculator]]'', and stated that "to have these two as individual 200 point downloads instead of combining them into one is just flat-out greedy." Harris called the gameplay "mostly stupid, pointless, and completely unnecessary, but at the very least it's sort of funny to see the numbers on the clock scatter when you hit a POW block."<ref> | Craig Harris of IGN was extremely critical of ''Mario Clock'', saying it is "not worth even the budget 200 points."

The Mario Calculator is much more worthy of the premium, though there'd be far less room to complain if Nintendo just combined the two instead of making them individual purchases.
