I certainly haven't played this game because I don't have the money to buy Mario Wonder, why would you think that?

Jokes aside, what an excellent game. The level design, the new enemies, the new mechanics, Yoshi, everything is perfect. The game has life, something that is sorely lacking in current platforms. Mario's expressions, those of the enemies, the expressiveness of the scenery and the music, everything, it's just perfect.

My only complaint about the game is that Mario slips. Not in the sense of slipping, but in the sense that if you're running (which in this game is already stupidly fast by Mario franchise standards), Mario doesn't stop if you stop pushing the joystick, he just keeps going. It's a realistic detail that undoubtedly gives the character a lot of personality, but even so, I think it's dispensable, the mini-physics of the hat already took care of that.

Perfect, undoubtedly one of the best platformers in history.
