I finished this in 20 minutes.
Then again, I played this one a LOT in my SNES days. Muscle memory is still pretty much intact, so I could deal with the stages and bosses in the quickest way possible.
Quite honestly, this game is a blast! (No pun intended). There's a lot to do with 2 Players in this. Matter of fact, the story mode almost forces you to have a friend or family member alongside you, so you can get the bonus points and upgrades.

One of my favorite racing games of the SNES! Would love to come back to this one someday, but the gauntlet of playing 16 countries with 4 stages each can be somewhat tiresome, specially considering this is an old racing game.

The absolute platinum standard when it comes to platforming games. If SMB3 was a step forwards in comparison to SMB1, this one is a gigantic leap when it comes to level design, creativity, sound, difficulty and just overall player liberty.
My fear that nostalgia could be making my memories blurry when it came to how much I loved this one was just that, fear. Replaying this with an open mind and paying attention to what made this game work just made me remember why I stood in front of the tv day in day out playing this one.
It's not a particularly long game, the levels are very interesting and a bunch of them even have branching exits that lead to secrets or shortcuts. Naturally, I went for full completion so I did all the stages and did all possible exits for the ones that have that.
Difficulty wise, this one is a lot more forgiving in a good way. I may have finished the game with 99 Lives, but I lost quite a bunch on the Bowser levels and on the Special Stages (Tubular is still a pain in the butt lmao)
Overall, replaying this was pleasant, couldn't help but just keep a big smile on my face as I listened to the gorgeous soundtrack and saw the beautiful sprite work.
