Completed 100% 3 times several years ago out of boredom. My favourite 3D Mario game by far.

Game unique on its kind, with a great atmosphere and theme. One of the thing I like the most is how simple the game is presented to the player yet how much strategy is behind choosing a mission, composition, build, etc. Some people argue the game has an absurd difficulty or that they lose too many heroes to RNG, but truth is once you play for some hours in the easy difficulty, you get the fundamentals you need to complete the whole game in standard difficulty. Losing heores is normal, the game teaches you to not use only one high-level composition, and level them is realy fast too.

It's a game that, at first glance, has a solid premise, but the main history line is boring and tedious to complete, the combat system is clunky and repetitive and there isn't much to do, apart from a few side quests that are kinda fun. The rest of the game is procedurally generated bad content. I haven't tried mods though, many people think they fix the game.

Pretty fun sandbox/adventure game. Nice quantity of content and perfect game to complete with friends.
