I mean it's alright, not an inoffensive game by any means but honestly I think this a little overrated. I heard a lot about how this is the best New Super Mario Bros. game and one of the best 2D Mario games but it's just decent at best. On one hand, it lacks a lot of annoying gimmicks found in the Wii game, but on the other hand the level design itself is either not as interesting or actually pretty tedious at times. I would like to compliment the game for it's boss battles though because those are easily the most creative 2D Mario bosses bar none. Like there's some creativity here, especially since it starts a new formula, but in all honesty, after playing Wii last year and having played 2 when I was younger, I just think the New Super Mario Bros. series isn't for me. For me, 2D Mario doesn't hit the heights I wish it did, and I doubt a replay of 2 or playing U for the first time will, as those are the last mainline 2D Mario games I need to log (unless you count Yoshi's Island, which seems pretty interesting and could possibly be as good as I've been hearing). Overall, just a pretty average 2D Mario experience.
