While the price is still a bit too high, this DLC vastly outshines the previous generations approach. A connected story that introduces multiple new lovable characters, something this generation has done a good job on throughout. While the handling of shiny locks is disappointing, this DLC provides some of the best approaches to legendary encounters. A great conclusion to a troubled yet phenomenal game

This puts the 2D Mario games at the time to shame. Fun, challenging platforming with very memorable levels and bosses. Simple controls and mechanics that make the game fun, while frustrations only occur from individual levels rather than the games overall design.

This is the game. It feels like the epitome of what a game is and should be. I love these characters, I love this world, I love this gameplay.
