A very good short and sweet Mario game. This was the 3DS’s New Soup and it worked very well. Genuinely the best use of 3D out of any 3DS game. Of course though this game is completely overshadowed by its masterpiece of a sequel so this is another Mario game I feel no desire to replay. Incredibly nostalgic to me of course.
The music is good and I enjoyed playing it, just not my favorite game in the whole series. I feel like the fact it was an introductory title to the 3DS means they were still figuring things out and I just think some of it didn't work. I would much rather play 3D World over this one because it's a better game.
Perfect Mario experience as always. 3D Mario games are just untouchable man. Nobody makes games this good consistently. The best game on the 3DS. Music 10/10, Level Design 10/10, everything about this game I loved 10/10. Mario is the king of videogames, and even one of his worst 3D titles is still a masterpiece.

I’m bad at platformers so I’m happy this one was pretty easy, it felt satisfying to be able to get through levels with speed and good precision.
My playtime came out to 4 hours which seems super short but I really enjoyed that time, I usually feel like Mario games drag on for too long so this was a nice change of pace.
