Another Mario masterpiece. It released at a perfect time for me to binge and it was amazing. The combat, soundtrack, dialogue, and enemies blend so well together. It hardly feels like a Super Mario game because of how unique and diverse the areas/encounters can be. Extremely glad that my first genuine exposure to this game was this remake because they did an outstanding job. It glows on my OLED and I couldn’t be happier. Nothing about it feels outdated besides some action-command timing issues but it’s nothing that takes from the experience.

My biggest wish is for this game to exceed sales expectations and hopefully give us another title down the line.
