Platform: Philips-CDi
Released: 1994
Developer: Philips Fantasy Factory
Genre: Puzzle
Philips is infamous for giving the world those awful Zelda games, but they also tried their hand at a Mario game. Hotel Mario is a puzzle platformer in which Mario goes to 7 different hotels to shut all the doors (he obviously doesn't want a draft). Regular Mario enemies are scattered throughout the game and the koopalings serve as the bosses of each hotel.
Of course, there are plenty of hazards to avoid while closing doors. Enemies and elevators make each level feel a little different. Plus the hotels have different building types, such as a tree, a mine, and a cloud. All of this makes the game sound great, but the execution is very poor. The game is criticized for its unresponsive controls, the animation of the shutting doors, and the awful cutscenes that use full motion video. Take a look at the video below if you don't believe me.
