This game is probably the best 2D platformer of all time. I wouldn't say it's my favorite, but it's definetly better than most others out there. I'm not overly found of the genre so i don't usually finish these games, but this one managed to retain my attention throughout. It has a surprising decent amount of challenge in the harder levels, something I felt the "new" games were definetly missing. The new visuals and everything related to the wonder effect is amazing, it sets out to breath new life into the franchise and masterfully succeds. The power ups are kind of lame.
