Review Mole Mania (3DS eShop / GB)
Dig in
Poor Muddy Mole has returned home to find his family kidnapped by the evil farmer Jinbe. That's the entire plot, and we're happy about that. After all, Mole Mania isn't about storytelling; it's about a massive gauntlet of clever puzzles, and that's exactly why we like it. Divided into eight very large levels, Muddy's adventure finds him...

This game was made by Shigeru Miyamoto.
The farmer looks like mario for a odd reason...
Never played the game, so I have no idea how it's done, but these screen shots remind me of Link's Awakening...
@bro2dragons I had the exact same thoughts.
Hmmm... For some reason, the level designs/layouts remind me of Bomberman. I know, strange, right?
I know absolutely nothing about this game, but I am going to pick it up based on the screenshots and the name Miyamoto alone.
@Squiggle55 indeed, anything miyamoto makes is worth a peek, especially for $3
I am really surprised by this game, I just played 4 levels of 8. It is an awesome title, deep and not so easy to beat. Jinbe (The villain farmer) looks like Wario for some reason. They should revive this game with a new Mole Mania 3D for example or something new, the puzzles are great. I would never judge this game by its black and white graphics. It is completely a must have.
I give a 10 out of 10 undoubtedly.
