A great debut for this goated series! The pixel art is delightful, the humor is charming, and the setting is actually unique.
The existence of this game's "Beanbean Kingdom" makes me wonder if all the kingdoms in the Mario world are plant themed. I wish that more Mario games explored other locations like this, places that have their own lore and themes beyond plains, desert, lava, etc.
There are a couple minor kinks in the experience, such as the infamous tutorials present throughout the entire series, but nothing substantial enough to bring down the fun. I'm tempted to replay the whole series since this game was such fun.
