background

After Nintendo decided against Philips creating a commercial for the Super Famicom , Nintendo gave the company permission to use their characters on Philips CD-i game consoles . The game just went through a simple development. Nintendo was little involved in the development.

reception

The game was heavily criticized because it looked to many as a copy of the Mario franchise . Hotel Mario is considered one of the worst Mario-based video games, due to the animation of the closing doors, the poor controls and especially because of the cutscenes that are parodied and corrupted on YouTube to this day . The CD-i was also considered a commercial flop .
