Why Is Apple Allowing Mario Clones on iTunes_

By Alex Chen | January 01, 0001

Trademark red cap and white gloves, big mustache and floating coins. There’s no rummy best confusing this iPhone game: It’s Super Mario Bros. Only it isn’t. [Update] Monino by developer FeYingInfo popped up on iTunes for a penny shy of a dollar earlier this week begging the question: Why in the world did Apple approve it? This isn’t the first time Apple’s game approval process rummy best has been caught asleep at the wheel. Earlier this year two games about fighting rabbits wound up on the Mac App Store. Lugaru and Laguaru HD were made by two developers. One was the official game, the other rummy golds an unsanctioned knock-off. A week after Kotaku reported that story, Apple removed the offending, lower-priced copy. https://kotaku.com/the-case-of-the-identical-rabbit-games-5750238 Monino seems like another case of one developer ripping off another, with Apple rummy golds either not catching it or not caring. Monino appears to star Mario’s slower brother Monino. Jumps, float, turns are all a bit sluggish as the squat little plumber plods his way through a world of edible mushrooms, glowing stars and breakable brick flooring. In the fiction of the 99 cent game, Monino’s brother has been captured by a monster named Bowler and he is on the road to the monster’s castle to rescue him… stop me if you’ve heard this one before. The game uses virtual controls in the bottom corners of the iPhone and rummy mars seems to feature randomized maps, some of which appear to include game-breaking dead ends. As pirated ports rummy mars go, Monino is not the game I’d like to see come out of the Mario world. As of this morning about 80 people have rated it, with an average score of three out of five stars. Most people seem to be complaining about the sub-par controls and crash issues. Everyone seems to recognize the source material. We’ve contacted Nintendo and Apple for comment and will update when and if we hear back. Update: While we haven’t heard back from Nintendo or Apple, the game is no longer available on the U.S. iTunes. Get your fake Mario iPhone game before Apple pulls it [Electricpig]

Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. The variety of games is excellent, including table games like blackjack, roulette, and baccarat, in addition to slots. This keeps the platform interesting and allows me to switch games depending on my mood.

Sometimes I wish there were more ways to earn rewards through loyalty programs or frequent player bonuses. Adding seasonal events or special challenges could enhance the excitement even further. The progressive jackpots are thrilling, and it's exciting to watch the jackpot amounts grow as more players spin the reels. I hope they add even more jackpot slots because it adds a lot of excitement to the gameplay. I appreciate the themed slot games, especially those based on movies and TV shows. They make the gaming experience more engaging and immersive. The combination of storyline, visuals, and bonus features makes each game feel unique.
