This game holds a special place in my heart, as I had never had an opportunity to play it until recently, but just watched my favorite content creators play it instead. I loved this game. I love the 2.5D Mario titles in both this title and 3D World, but this game feels like the Wii U title, just on a smaller scale. It isn't too creative by any means, but the platforming is just fun to play and tight in its movement. Mario controls great, the music is funky, the stages are predictable but feel very reminiscent of old Mario titles, and it is just a blast to play.
Better than any 3D Mario game before or after it?
No, not even close.
Wii U-to-literally-right-now-era baby game design?
Yes
A genuine fun game that you can sit and chill with that’s unique enough to exist as a pre-Switch handheld game with secrets that at least appease what I would expect to find in a Mario game?
Yes
Summary: New Super Mario Bros. but what if Nintendo made a sequel that did not make me want to sell it within the first week of me acquiring it

There have been tons of great Mario games but I think this is one of the more influential 3D entries. At this point, 3D entries like Mario 64, Sunshine, Galaxy, etc. created gameplay systems that strayed from the 2D formula; this game is a literal translation of the 2D mechanics into the third dimension. The concept is the best thing going for this game: it's fun to experience Mario in this new way. This game has since been eclipsed by 3D World but it's still worth playing if you're a fan of the franchise.
You know what? Fuck it, this game sucks. I've played it numerous times now, and while it doesn't do anything nearly as BAD as stuff like Mario 64 or Odyssey, it's just as shitty and terrible as any other 3D Mario game.
Used to think that the people who preferred this over 3D World were crazy, but the more I replay both games, the more I begin to understand where they're coming from. They're still right

Jogo divertido e completo. É um jogo de Mario e nisso não tem muito o que errar, gameplay responsiva e divertida, gráficos cenários e músicas belos. O game padrão é até bem fácil e curto (é na verdade o mesmo tamanho de qualquer jogo de Mario comum, 64 fases, mas por ser meio fácil passa rápido) entretanto, temos um modo 'Special' que, pelo menos para mim, é bem mais desafiador.
A adaptação de cenário 3D ficou muito boa na minha opinião mas não espere cenários abertos enormes como em Super Mario 64 ou Super Mario Galaxy por exemplo. Esse jogo seria muito mais uma interpretação 3D de um cenário de New Super Mario Bros. Wii o que funciona muito bem e especialmente na tela 3D do console, que ajuda com questão de se localizar em profundidade e ângulos em alguns momentos.
