This game is what i thought all Mario games are. It is superb and really good. One nitpick I have is adding challenge gauntlet at end which I never do in platformers. Challenge in game is cranked up so far for last 2 tasks of bonus content i just leaves you with the bitter taste. I love platforming but I hate when it is at that level. Same as in 3D world. Great game. Play it! For me I mastered it, but in reality I did not do last 2 tasks of bonus content.
