It looks and plays great. I always love when Mario games get weird and imaginative, but this one feels somewhat disingenuous to me. It's still pretty fun though. It's constantly throwing new things at you one after the other without ever getting too chaotic or messy. This makes for a game without much dull moments, but it also doesn't leave much time to do normal platforming. I do think it would benefit from more challenge as well, and all the kiddy stuff is pretty annoying.
