I have a huge Mario gap in my gaming history because I ended up going: nes > Sega Genesis > ps1 > ps2 > ps3/wii > PC gaming (where I am today) there’s a lot I missed from Nintendo over the years but I recently played through this game and I personally loved how original and new/fresh it felt. Definitely reminded me of how i felt about Mario 3 on nes when I first played it.

What say you? Did you enjoy it? Want to see this become a new series in the Mario saga?

Meh. It didn’t really change 2d Mario, it was just flashy. Done with the 2d series.

It definitely did change 2d mario though? This game is wildly different in every aspect than any other 2d mario.

For me, these games dont make sense without multiplayer. I played it, finished it, deleted it.

It’s the best 2D Mario since Super Mario World. I finished it with 6/6 medals (i.e., completed every last thing in the game). The five-star levels are a good challenge, although “The Final-Final Test” (final special level after acquiring 5/6 medals) is just cruel.

I’m having a great time with it. My wife and I are going through it together. Local multiplayer works great.

Having played various Mario games starting with NES I really enjoy the side-scrolling retro feel.

My partner and I are also enjoying it. The way the screen can only follow one person has killed us many times, but so far that’s the only bad fault.

Definitely adds to the challenge, but forces us to talk through the levels so that we move together.
