Literally the best Mario game I’ve ever played.
Minor criticisms:
Not enough camera control.
Mario moves slowly.
Alright, everything else about the game is awesome:
The story. It’s light, as expected from a Mario game, but it’s grand in scope and manages to pull off some genuinely heart-wrenching moments. The storybook backstory definitely adds a lot, making it seem as if Mario and Bowser have accidentally become small pieces of a much larger, cosmic story.
Level design. Fucking amazing. No elaboration.
* Music: A full orchestra supervised by Koji Kondo, with a shit ton of beautiful tracks. The Gusty Garden Galaxy theme is a standout.
