This game is a let down. There is a lot to like about it, but the game feels all over the place. Some levels are fun, others are a chore. A lot of the wonder flower parts were genuinely a delight and put a big smile on my face, but the rest of the game felt so painfully average for a Mario game. The difficulty is also randomized. The hardest levels were in the earliest parts of the game and the final levels felt like a breeze. The final level, Bowser's Castle, had a 5-star difficulty rating, and it was by far one of the easiest levels. I had higher hopes for this one and just didn't care for it. I don't hate it, but I have no desire to replay it. I have never not wanted to go back and get all the things I missed in a Mario game, until now.
