As rough as it is, hard to not respect a Mario game that does things like use the Can-Can and has enemy types like Moai Heads and Jiangshi.

Definitely one of those games you check out for series completeness and historical value more than anything.

I think my family thought I was going mad with all the notes I was taking while playing this.

Based on that you can probably tell whether you'll love or hate this game.
