This is one of those games that you just sit down and play, and play and play because there's a lot of controls and inputs to remember.
It becomes addicting to learn more the longer you play. I found myself just playing to get better. I'm not good at the game, I do ok, I have 1/3? of some sort of medal in vr missions, ive beat the game 3 official times, twice on normal and once on hard. I tried very hard and didnt make it out of the first area. My goal with most games like this is to get as much of the collectables as I can and keep enjoying the game and become absolutely overpowered. I started to wain on the game a little as it would take some time to get the rest of the weapon upgrades, already maxxed most of them out so I started the blade wolf campaign. The idea is to play through the DLC campaigns then take a break from it.

This is my favourite 3D mario. I prefer this one more than Galaxy 2 just because I felt it was more of a game and 2 was more of an expansion. I beat this to 120 stars and got luigi and then left it, to come back to some day to play as luigi and have a go again. I might do a quick run on the 3d all star pack but I really enjoyed playing it on the Wii. I would recommend this to anyone wanting to play a fun and simple Mario game with some mind bending mechanics.

Nostalgia is not a great thing. I hate this game more than ever. I enjoy the feelings I felt as a kid and learning this new realm of video games, but I have been playing this on a pro controller on the switch in the 3d all star pack, and oh man, I did not remember Mario handling like an a-hole all the time. Making the smallest turns and movements turns into absolute chaos when placement is the difference between falling off a cliff and starting the level over and getting the star you have been working towards for over an hour. I'm half way through it as I dont think I finished as a kid, but im up to 6x stars currently. I just plan to get all 6 main stars and what 100 coin stars I can get and the secret stars and then be done with it and move onto Sunshine.
