The most sheer joy I've had playing a game since... Super Mario Odyssey

It controls perfectly. Even in the moments where I feel its creativity may be a bit overstated, it feels top of the line because of the polish, because of how it feels like each enemy design was thought out, and how I feel like the power-ups and badges (for the most part) actually really do add a lot to the replayability.

I only briefly touched the multiplayer aspect, but as a certified NSMB multiplayer hater due to how chaotic it can get, I actually love the no collision. Still I do think something like the bubble power up could have hilarious multiplayer results and there's a part of me that is maybe a little sad that we missed out on some of that
