A decent platformer, but a bad Mario game. I understand that this game is a reskin of the game Doki Doki Panic so it was never going to be a proper Mario game as it was made as something else, but this doesn't mean it should get a pass due to it's background. None of the fun mechanics from Mario games are in this, such as headstomping enemies, breaking blocks and the power-ups, which makes this game a less fun experience as you're stuck with the mechanics of throwing items and collecting cherries just to get a star power. The best change to this game is that you get to play as more characters than just Mario who have different perks, which would've been a fun addition to carry over to Super Mario Bros 3 and other games, but apart from that I don't like any of the changes this game has compared to the games that came before and after it. Also the level design being vertical at times was annoying, as you have to wait for it to load each section which makes it tiring to see over and over especially when trying to do platforms, but as a whole the platforming was decent and only a few times wasn't good. Overall a very out-of-place and tedious Mario game, which I just don't get the love for.
