A wild new idea for a Mario game that works so incredibly well with the best movement options I've ever had in any of the titles. The capture mechanic is so interesting that I'd want a full sequel to expand the options of it. The additions of travelling to kingdoms rather than the hub option was a major upgrade, because remaining in the area makes the pacing much better and enjoyable compared to leaving each time. The twists in the story are also welcome, keeping enough variety for engagement.
