The gameplay is as fun as the first with an emphasis on stealth this time around. It was smart of them to switch the usual origin story we already know to Miles while making sure to give him enough of a distinction to stand apart. It would be fair to say the only thing holding this back from being on the same level as its predecessor is the length. Had this given you more side missions and story, you could hold a better direct comparison.

Quality of life improvements and tight controls pave the way for one of the most creative Mario games to date but it's the attention paid to previous entries that prove the most rewarding. You won't be able to shake the feeling you're playing not just the best the Nintendo Switch has to offer, but possibly the greatest Mario game ever made! Like a celebration of all that came before while pushing the franchise ever forward.
