It’s a great game on its own right. It’s simple, fun to play, and all that stuff. However, the expensive price tag and lack of online features lowers my grade for this game. Also, considering the gameplay is extremely short, don’t be expecting to play this for days on ends.
Overall, it has great potential to be a great game, Nintendo just doesn’t care and doesn’t bother. 6/10, 3/5

Mildy entertaining mobile game.
The levels can be quite typical stuff but if you try collecting all the special coins then the one-handed gameplay becomes quite challenging. There are 3 sets of 5 different coloured coins in each level and adds replayability, it may even alter the level in small ways to make coins hard to reach. But it's still basically playing the same level 3 times.
The Remix mode is fun. It can be difficult to get some of the star coins since once you've chosen one way to go you find out the coin is on another platform. Perhaps that's just my skill issue. Also.. the music. It sounded like a pretty nice remix of different Mario themes but where tf did those vocals come from lol. It really could've done without them. "Show me your love" ??? But hey, they give you the option to play your own music while playing which is pretty cool.
Toad Rally is eh.

I think most people, myself included, forget that this exists. Even more, we forget that this is a REAL Mario game, with real level design and real input from Miyamoto. Also, for all the review bombing over “microtransactions”, you can buy this whole game for $5 and get everything they’ve added since 2016. I was finally reminded of it’s existence when hearing how involved Miyamoto was with the project, and I think we all need to accept that this is a canon mainline Mario game.
This is an in-progress review. But yeah I think this is a great take on Mario as a $10 app, sorta like a stylised auto-runner with a strong emphasis on replaying levels to collect coins and building upon the Mushroom Kingdom. It reminds me a little of Donkey Kong Jungle Beat in the manner of score attack mode and “style points” for those competitive toad audience stages.
I just cleared the stages and already I’m back for pink coins, relays as well as opening up the Star World stages! Whelp I think I’m being drawn in, at least I’ve already bought in.
