Nintendo doubles down on the movie with this delightful, inspired take on 2D Mario, using a relentless parade of new ideas, mechanics and environments to bring back the original series' (particularly 3 and World) feeling of joyous exploration and discovery. This is the next-gen 2D Mario that we've waited 30 years for.

I've seen people doing discourse about the diffculty, but I don't want to hear a word until you beat the final final level. The last bit of the optional endgame is the toughest, most hardcore Mario this side of Maker. I got all the medals except the standee one-I should have started working on that earlier but alas.
