Hotel Mario is one of those games that needs almost no introduction. Released in 1994 it was developed by Fantasy Factory and published by Philps Interactive Media.
The graphics are a mixed bag. The characters in game have a lot of personality with some nice color, though there not much movement in the backgrounds and the cut-scenes are legendary both for he goofy visuals and the terrible voice acting. The sound on the whole is average at best, some stages have decent music but even those tracks wear out their welcome. The control is slippery and the buttons are reversed from the norm, so you will be opening doors when you want to jump and vice versa. Getting the hang of how to go in and out of elevators takes some practice as well
The main action in the game is closing elevator doors. There is a lot to like here, does it deserve the hate it gets?

SEGA’s Second Division Manager, Osamu Ohashi, wants to surpass Mario by strengthening the Sonic IP.
Nah, Sonic is definitely iconic but it will never be at the level of Mario. Much less surpass it...
They can compete but Mario will always win. Mario and Sonic cater to different fans or fans who like both.
Sonic doesn't have to compete though. Both are their own thing, there's plenty of room for them both.
Thing is Sonic despite the bad games is still an icon as big as Mario, probably bigger cause he's seen more in media than Mario. More cartoons, more movies, more memes. So on that end he's good, they just gotta stop making bad games.
The Switch game, which was announced earlier this year, is a remake of a cult favorite GameCube title, and currently holds a placeholder release date of 2024. However, it’s possible that since the game is already beginning to arrive at rating boards, the release could come early in the year.
