Peak platforming, peak traversal, peak movement, peak boss fights, peak music, peak art style, perfectly lengthed, etc….. this game was just amazing wow. Only thing they could improve for a sequel is the enemy variety. Definitely one of the best non-Nintendo platformers I’ve played

This is the peak of 2D Mario at the moment. Fantastic, fun creative levels. A big step up creativity wise that breaks the mold of the franchise. However I still feel like 2D Mario is nowhere near the peak of what it could be yet. The fact this has a lot of room to grow makes me excited for the new, fresh direction this franchise is going in. And lets hope for a less underwhelming final boss too.

Definitely one of the most inventive Metroidvanias in recent years with a true sense of discovery. I hope Bigmode/Dunkey keeps publishing incredible games like this since this was such an amazing game to start off with.
