Among the best in one of many zany RPG adventures that Mario has. The relationship between the Bros is charming as always, Bowser is at his best in this game and it's not even close, Fawful is a fantastic and fun main villain, the game has a weird but very fun supporting cast.
The gameplay is just good fun as always. This game probably has the best Bros attacks out of the five games.
I'm only giving it a 9/10 because the carrot minigame with Wiggler and the Monty Mole train segment with Big Bowser.
