Sorry folks - I just don’t like 2D Mario. 3D Mario is like a box of chocolates, full of variety and surprises. This is a multipack of crisps of a game. Sure a few things are different but it just didn’t spark joy, and the wonder events got boring after a little while

I doubt I would have spent 250 hours on this if it didn’t come out during the Pandemic when I had nothing else to do. Enjoyed the fishing, partner did the designing. Wish there was a little bit more to do but hit a lot of the right notes otherwise.

Unpolished with several weird mechanic decisions but a decent little game to waste your time on. Story is more than adequate to save the game.
