Count from the upper right corner of the block Mario starts at to the upper left corner of the next block or use the coordinates in the upper left to find the rise and run. Then divide the rise by the run to find the slope f the ramp Mario needs to get to the next block. Type in the slope and press enter. Calculate the distance using the Pythagorean Theorem. Use the rise and run for a and b and solve for c. If you are correct, Mario drives up or down the ramp to the next block. If you are incorrect, Mario plummets to his death. You have 3 lives. After losing the 3rd life, it's game over. When Mario reaches the right side of the screen, the game restarts on the left.
