I loved this game on Wii U, with it's cute and wonderful looking artstyle, and it's fantastic soundtrack!
I think for the most part it holds up but if you are looking to complete this game it is a SLOUG. Every level has 3 Diamonds you have to find, they basically just act as stars from 3D World pretty standard, but every level also has bonus challenge which you need to do in order to get a stamp on the level and a badge on the Episode on the menu and this task doesn't show up until you beat the level for the first time for some reason? it just seems like a given to make this appear when the level is available so you could at least try to get the challenge done in one go and it's annoying to have to redo the level because you barely missed a challenge you didn't even know was a requirement, as well as many of these challenges towards the end of Episode 3 are just absurd 'find the gold mushroom challenges' where it is invisible and in some random hard to reach spot and in Bonus Episode they are all just 'get X amount of coins' where you'll end up redoing the level multiple times because once you got 158 coins instead 160 and it's just irritating! Then you have to find Pixel Toad who in the Wii U version was locked behind the Amiibo which was weird but it just a cute bonus mode unnecessary for the game but now because it's not locked behind Amiibo it really does count and I'm really not a fan of them just hiding toad in random spots and having a slight audio cue to try and find him it's just irritating and he is hidden in EVERY LEVEL.
I don't know I think it's a cute game it's painfully monotonous and slow and in my opinion losses it's charm about half way through.
I've also found controls docked are funky with + being the reset button for the Gyro aim not just the Gyro aim button and to pause I can only use - docked than handheld requires touch so theirs not much of an ideal way to play.
I'm not anticipating playing the DLC this game didn't need and why didn't the Bonus 3D world levels make it to Switch yet?
