Mario must, therefore, work his way between platforms by way of lifts. At this point we find Mario has a touch of OCD because in order to find the Princess he has to close all of the doors to progress to the next hotel. So off trots Mario to the first hotel to find the Princess.
Presumably at this point Bowser’s hospitality empire is still taking off and he’s not accumulated any castles. Invited over by the Princess, Mario and Luigi show up to find a note… Bowser has kidnapped her (yes, again… I suppose everyone needs a hobby) and hidden her in one of his 7 hotels. If you strip away the Mario-ness of it all and look at Hotel Mario for what it is then there’s a game akin to the likes of Donkey Kong or Burgertime, admittedly 10-15 years too late, but it can still be fun. As a Mario game I can understand the dislike but I prefer to look at Hotel Mario as an ode to the Golden Age arcade era. I’ve seen Hotel Mario slated on many occasions. Mario’s first outing on the Philips CD-i comes in the shape of Hotel Mario.
