Great level design, enemy design, and some fantastic aesthetics and music

Controls are better than Shake It and level design and enemy design are on-par, but the aesthetics and music aren't orgasm-inducing like Shake It. Still a really great game tho

Nice and fun 2D platformer with a lot of replayability with the multiple endings and alternate paths. The series really came into its own here.

Cranks up the exploration by being a level-based metroidvania, and it works surprisingly well here and is a lot of fun, if a bit too long compared to the other games

Follows the Mario formula a bit too closely but the power-ups are fun and the levels are all great

Fun little game with a great OST and is filled with personality but it's too short and is pretty rough around the edges

Controls and graphics are better than WL1 (although the latter is hurt by being on Virtual Boy), but it's too short and becomes a slog for the final level and final boss
