I like Mario, what can I say! They still know how to make these games, this is another good one. I think people saying it's easily the best 2D Mario are maybe being a little hyperbolic, but it is a great game filled with joyful moments. Outside of the final 100% challenge levels and a handful of others, this game was very easy for me, I would have liked it a little tougher, but I understand that I'm poisoned by difficult Mario Maker and SMW rom hacks. Also I wish there was a little bit less "this is for little kids" vibes to a lot of Mario, which I feel has become a little more prevalent starting around Mario Sunshine maybe, but I understand as well that Mario has always been for all ages. I'm not saying Mario needs to ultra mature or anything, I just don't need a flower telling me "great job" every time a make a jump. But it's not enough to ruin the game or anything by any means. Lots of great creativity on display throughout this game, really fun!
