I've heard that this game was worse than the first one, so going into it my expectations were a bit low, but I never expected this game to be this bad. The level design is so much worse than the first, just boring unfun unmemorable uninteresting slop. Most levels are just meh to normal bad but does have a few that are just completely unforgivably awful. The autoscrollers in this game are so unbelievably slow which was a problem in the first game but it seems there are quite a bit more of them and they go on for longer making it far more annoying.
This game added more babies that you can have ride yoshi, unfortunately you can't run as any of them except baby mario, immediately making every other one worse and far more annoying to play as, I understand baby dk being slow to run with but I don't understand it with like baby peach. I never want to play as any other character than mario, the only reason I ever go off of him is because the game makes me.
I noticed that this game looks worse than the original, idk it just feels boring and 'flat' to me, the artstyle isn't even that much different than the original so i'm not sure why they didn't just make it the same as the first. Also wanted to mention that because this game is on the ds, anything that would be in between the 2 screens is completely invisible which does/can get you killed in a few places, I'm not too sure why they didn't account for this but it doesn't seem like that they accounted for anything really.
My main problem with the first game was how unforgiving the hundo requirements were and I am happy to say that they made it even worse in this one. The red coins now look exactly the same as a normal coin meaning to have to collect pretty much every coin in every level, and of course if you miss even one red coin/flower or you don't have enough star points you have to replay the level and recollect everything again. In addition to that they also added a golden coin in every level that you can only grab as a certain character, from what i've seen you don't have to grab these in the same run as the others but i'm not sure, I skipped hundo on this playthrough for obvious reasons
