i believe this was the 2nd game i ever played, and what a banger to play so early on in my life. i may have more of a personal bias for the original, but this is a STELLAR remake. around 30 new stars, minigames, multiplayer, multiple characters, etc. also i still have fond memories of all the rumours of waluigi being behind that DAMN white door in the character select room (this was always the better version of l is real, fight me)
