As the "fake" Mario 2, it does a surprisingly good job at following up the original game, and providing a fun, unique experience. Sure, it may be different from every other Mario game released before and after this, but it still manages to be memorable and influential to the series after all this time.
The story is different, yet still simple, the gameplay is fun, the controls are tight, the choice of characters is nice and varied, the different abilities they have make you wanna experiment with each one, the music is catchy and iconic, the boss fights are varied and challenging, and the difficulty gives you a good, fair curve throughout.
Overall, despite not being a "true" Mario game, it still provides a pretty fun experience, and I would definitely recommend for any Mario fan to try out at least once.
Also, no, I've never played Doki Doki Panic, in case you were wondering, and I probably never will.
