Going around fulfilling missions for mario characters would be fun if moving through the board wasn't so annoying and some of the missions weren't so bad.
EDIT: Eventually went back and finished it. I guess the game's charm and the actually good minigames won me over despite all the terrible missions of going back and forth through the board, all the minigames that are drawn out and monotone and the fact that the minigames have no variations in the story mode despite having them in the side modes which is almost as baffling as them having almost half the minigame list appear only once through the main mode of the game which makes the repetition drastically worse than it would be otherwise.
