FINALLY. FINALLY AFTER 9 YEARS NINTENDO HAS DELIVERED A UNIQUE AND STYLISTIC 2D MARIO GAME. Personally, I was perfectly satisfied with the first 2 NSMB games, the last 2 was when it started to get ridiculous. And boy, am I glad Nintendo was able to snap out of it, because did we get a DAMN good game out of it.

This game is strange. I personally found it very enjoyable on my playthrough, though I pretty much find all games fun. But I can also acknowledge the lack of identity this game has. It is merely a dull attempt at recreating the success of the previous games, providing it with the bare minimum to set it apart from the rest, yet failing to do so. The gameplay is fun, no doubt, but now with Super Mario Bros Wonder, it is hard to excuse this game for the lack of uniqueness.

It's hell and I love it for some reason. The ridiculous difficulty makes it all the more rewarding when you finally defeat the mountain. Despite the satirical and jokey surface, the philosophical message is actually very profound. While I didn't enjoy playing it, I definetely felt what Bennet Foddy intended to make the player feel. A sense of rage, but also a strong will to beat the game. To rise above the insane challenge. This game turned out to be an unlikely masterpiece.
