inventive and charming from beginning to end, short and sweet, i believe this is actually one of the best mario games. my only gripe is there are too many coins and it's too easy to max out lives.

the only game where you can send yoshi to yugoslavia

when you compare it to the games before it (smb3) and the games after it (sml2, yoshi's island, smk, sm64, smrpg), this game seems rushed, repetitive and not fully realised.
