For a game where the whole shtick is the promise of creative wonder, it somehow manages to be less creative and interesting than Yoshi's Island, which is an almost 30 year old game about a stupid crying baby. Can you fight a frog from inside its stomach in this one? Can you turn into a helicopter? Yeah, didn't think so bud.
Most of the “crazy” Wonder Flower effects aren’t very exciting and feel like stuff previous Mario games would have just done in regular levels anyways, if you get what I'm trying to say.
Also sporting very generic level design which can't shake that whole "blocks on a grid made in a level editor" feeling, and the most forgettable soundtrack in any game I've played period, which is absolute insanity because this is Nintendo we're talking about.
It's still Mario, and Mario is dumb fun, so I can't say that I hated it or anything, but it sure didn't feel like this big reinvention of the franchise that Nintendo hyped it up to be. Really just more of the same with a prettier coat of paint.
Took me 4 weeks to beat because college is kicking my ass.
TL;DR: AAAA I HATE FUN AAAA
