100% completed. Incredible entry for the 2D mainline Mario series. This game reeks of a personality of its own with brand new power-ups, great soundtrack and a huge amount of polish in every possible way that's felt from the very first level.
The badges are also a very welcome idea, they are introduced as an interesting gameplay changer on demand. Some are very helpful, some are situational, some are just funny, but the incentive they give on experimenting with them and seeing what you can do is something I adored.
The only "bad" aspect I can think of right now is the game feeling kinda short in terms of length, but the level design is ever so engaging and fun, you won't even realize it until you get to the ending, and if you want to obtain everything, it then gets way longer than that because of the secret routes and levels like in Super Mario World.
