I have the absolute fondest memories of this game so going back and being hit with a face full of shoddy map design shaped retrospect was a little disappointing.
In a way I'm quite nostalgic for it, but it definitely suffers from the early pixar-esque melted cheese CGI look. There's almost a sense of uncanny valley, where the maps should be full of life, and there are elements of life but they're so few and far between that they actually kind of exasperate the emptiness.
Top tier mini games though IMO, and at the end of the day that's what matters

By far the best of the original Mario games.
I do not feel like elaborating.

The era of the DS was beautiful in the way that Nintendo still had the creative confidence to just fuck around a bit, even in it's most popular IPs. NSMB DS, Bowser's Inside Story, this, etc. all had a bit of extra flair that sequels in their respective series seemed to sanitise.
The mission mode, playing on the DS stage, drawing your own emblem were all the sickest fucking thing and it's such a shame they were just straight up dropped.
