Combat is perfect, traversal is perfect, I like the story a lot, but it's missing a lot, just feels a bit empty. The main problem is pacing. The first and last 20 minutes are where it's at but pretty much everything else feels like side missions and is very sluggish and feels like a grind. They definitely put most of their focus into the map, because the explorable land is perfect. I really love this but I hope the sequel (should it happen) fixes the narrative elements.

The first ever Mario game I owned and played. First ever game I 100% completed. It blew my mind as a kid, went in with no expectations and when I went through the warp pipe to the other dimension with the evil ink Mario that is so anxiety inducing... Fuck yea I loved it. Just should've had more playable characters and a tad more variety in power-ups.
