The simple joy of this game is how it takes the superfluous elements of the New Super series, that being the points, coins, and lives, and turns it into a game within a game to see how high you can pump those numbers up. It proudly displays your millions of points, thousands of coins, and hundreds of lives at basically all times. I recognize that "big number makes me happy :)" is a bit of a caveman take, but hey, I'm only human. Aside from that, the level design is unmemorably strong. It has the typical New Super polish without doing anything particularly crazy. The tanuki suit coming back is pretty kickass too, it's probably my favorite 2D Mario power-up. The greatest blessing of this game is that it doesn't overstay it's welcome. Levels are short, worlds are short, it's a perfect pick up and play for 5 minutes kind of game. Overall it's solid! Probably the best New Super game, but that's a mid-off in it's own right
