I really wish I enjoyed this more than I did as a longtime Mario fan. I mean, it was very good and I didn't mind the length at all, having completed everything in about 6 hours, but despite the obvious main mechanic of having Bowser appear to cause havoc, I didn't feel like it was as filled with new ideas as other titles? Yes, I know it's a short game, but the few areas it has all have pretty much the same stuff you can do. Beat one area, and you've already seen almost everything. As much as I find that awfully unusual in Mario games, I still enjoyed playing through this. It has the usual Mario charm, Bowser fights are just too epic for their own good, and the ending is so silly I couldn't help laughing and smiling. Yes, it was a good experience. Maybe I was expecting something more grand than what it was meant to be, but that's on me.
