A very fun game, but unfortunatly its flaws are hard to avoid such as the frustration of levels such as the lily pad and the long trek to even get there after every game over, the fact that the shines you need are set in stone so you can'y skip shines if you hate them like you could in 64 and Galaxy, and the fact that 100% is a nightmare with the blue coins and isn't even worth it! Other than that its a fun 3D Mario but with unavoidable flaws.
