A simple short straightforward story experience.

There's not a lot of gameplay but the music, artwork, and implied story is fantastic.

I needed this story as an adult. It was very relatable. It made me happy and sad at the same time.

I had lots of fun with all 126 Nintendo-created levels of Story Mode, even though the “story” is super shallow. But I guess that’s on par with Mario games.

I personally don’t care much about the 3D-style levels, but the 2D ones are fantastic. It felt like playing a new version of SM1, SM3, and World.

Didn’t have that much fun with the online part. Super lacking feature-wise. Endless Challenge mode was the best part of online for me, but it can still yield trashy creations.

Overall a great way to go revisit classic Mario.
