Overall, it was a wonderful time with the great visuals, a catchy soundtrack, expressive animations, and the unique ideas such as the Piranha Plant wonder effect, the slime, and the Goomba. The badge system also adds a lot of replay value to the game with the additions it adds to your moveset. I also appreciate the large number of new enemies that were added to spice up the gameplay. The break time and the other mini-challenges were a nice breaks to take in between the main levels. There are some notable issues however, such as how the bosses prior to final Bowser were just Jr. over and over again, with Worlds 3 and 5 not having a boss at all. Some wonder effects and badges feel like filler, the game can feel too easy at times and World 3 was pretty mediocre. Despite that, I’d still give the game a 9/10, and even if you may not be a 2D Mario fan it’s still worth checking out.
