Probably one of the biggest disappointments for me in recent years. Apart from Super Mario Land, which wasn't developed by Nintendo, I've had a lot of fun with almost every Mario platformer. Sunshine only managed this to a certain extent. I think the basic idea with the water jets is very nice, but it feels like the boring tasks are repeated in each of the largely uninspired worlds. The platforming - the core of every good Mario - is all too rarely put to a fulfilling test ... for me personally almost only in the linear sections without the water jet...yeah? Completely weird experience for me in its entirety.
