If you want to play this game do NOT get the remaster, just get the original. The updated models looked mostly horrible on everybody except Chloe, Rachel looked decent after episode 1. The lighting could be straight up horrible sometimes making the models/environments look much worse. TONS of glitches, especially on the version I played, some cutscenes were so glitchy that they gave me a headache. Some scenes Chloe would phase out of existence or sometimes her animations would not render and she would just T pose and mouth her lines. Just a complete mess and a waste of money IMO especially since the original is cheaper, as someone who LOVED the original playing this first would have definitely changed my opinion of the game as a whole

Loved the new art style, music, and gameplay innovations/additions, such as the new characters, animations, theme of the wonder bits, etc. I do have to say though that for a 2D Mario game it felt very weak on the multiplayer side of things. Playing by myself was often the best experience, or with a friend. Playing with 3 or 4 people was often a nightmare, especially with people that had never played before or didn't play very many games. The change in the way the camera was handled compared to previous Mario Bros titles (focusing on one player that can change when they die rather than a shared camera) really just made the whole thing a mess, and the wonder segments, while awesome alone/co op, were too much to handle with new players or 3/4 players. The camera change is the main reason I didn't give it 5 stars, along with some levels that were needlessly tedious to get through. Additionally, I personally did not like the talking flowers and they ended up serving no purpose throughout the entire game.
