One of the best games of all time. Super easy to just jump in and have fun with the various worlds, from Bomb-Omb Battlefield to Snowman's Land to even just the starting front area of Peach's Castle. It's crazy how the developers at the time were able to perfect the movement to be so fluid that it ends up being one of the most popular games to speedrun to this day. So much so that people find so many new things about the game years after it's release from carpetless to parallel universes, to even outside of speedrunning like the unused Luigi model.

Perhaps the only negatives about this game are the camera controls in tight areas but I didn't find a issue with this all that much and it still holds up to this day regardless. Just like how the original Super Mario Bros. set the standard for video games after, this game set the 3D standard for video games.
