Finally got around to playing this since I bought it nearly 5 years ago and it's not nearly as bad as I thought it'd be. It's not as good as Wonder (not even close) but as a basic 2D Mario this was a pretty fun time. While the movement isn't as refined as wonder, the level design and music aren't as good and the graphics are generally boring it has some standout levels and still has that warm and fuzzy feel you get from a Mario game. Though maybe that's just nostalgia talking...
