It’s been a while since the last mainline Mario game and that goes for 2D or 3D. The series returns with another 2D adventure and it does not disappoint. This is easily my favorite 2D Mario game ever made with really good level design, tight controls, and something creative happening in nearly every level. If I had one complaint I’d say a few collectibles can be way too obscure to find but that is a small thing in an otherwise near perfect 2D Mario game.
