YOWIE ZOWIE!

This is easily my favourite 2D Mario game and an instant classic to me, the game is absoultely beaming with life and personality. I dont know why but I went in not assuming there would be a wonder effect EVERY level and it was just every an every 2-3 levels sort of gimmick but they fully commit to it and it leaves you always excited for the next level to see what new mechanics they spring on you which is something I cant say for any other Mario platformer like this.

I feel like it takes quite a bit of inspiration from recent Rayman platformers like Origins/Legends (not a bad thing, Legends is my favourite platformer of all time) with the way it perfectly adds flow into levels that make you feel like you're being led down perfectly crafted road.
