For all its incredible visuals, great characters, ingenious levels and overall great vibe, there are some fucking aggravating stages, and if I hear baby Mario crying one more time...

There are some really good boss fights and I think some of my favourite stages were the fortresses and castles. I'm glad I included this in my Mario game play through, as despite some of the more irritating aspects, overall, it's a really well made game and quite entertaining for the most part.

I'd played this a couple of times previously, and I did have it on the gba back in the day, but because it wasn't a traditional Mario platformer, I dismissed it too early on. But at least I got to enjoy it this time around.
