A puzzle platformer/RPG hybrid. It's fun when it uses those elements right, I just wish it wasn't painfully slow sometimes. Like in the hubworld going between floors takes like 15 seconds. You have to explore this place in between chapters all the time. And in the actual chapters you will sometimes find yourself combing through the pretty large levels for that one thing you missed. For a platformer it really isn't as fluid as it could be, especially considering it's part of the Mario series, the undisputed king of platformers.

This is the stupidest nitpick ever but the hammer Pixl is the worst hammer I have used in a video game. It's so unsatisfying. Also he refused to accept my perfect and family friendly motto because it was "too long". I had to make him say Penis instead. Games fault, not mine.

I don't want to be too negative... Let's end on a high note. The story and characters shine bright and so does the core level design. I like how you can play as Bowser. Bonus content is plentiful. The minigames in the arcade are fun, I just feel really uncomfortable when InterChet calls me a "gamer". that should be considered a slur
