Super Mario rip-off has no shame

18 September 2012

The Apple App store is known to be home of a lot of clones and imitation games, but there are some releases that are so blatantly similar that it’s borderline criminal.

One game in particular, 3D Cartoon Land: Safari, may have a relatively original name, but that’s where it ends.

The game is a mind-blowing rip-off of Mario’s 3DS adventure, Super Mario Land 3D.

3D Cartoon Land: Safari is described as a “unique game” in which you “quickly jump over obstacles and collect coins.”

Maybe there’s some unique underlying objective behind the cryptic description, or probably not.

Be careful though, as the game’s developer Jiang Zhi also warns: “An angry tortoise could bite you”.

Maybe we’re jumping the gun and the game is actually pretty good. Louie82y played some 3D Cartoon Land: Safari, and wrote a customer review:

“The best f**king game I have EVER played. Highly original, TONS O FUN. Strap on your hardhat and fixed clogged toilets in these intricately designed levels.”

I’m sold.

Download 3D Cartoon Land: Safari, or don’t.
