Genuinely just such a fun and creative retro mario experience, really feels like they put heart into this game compared to the first.

Very short and honestly quite difficult due to the finicky controls, but it's classic Mario and it's still fun, and the enemy design plus the interesting ship levels made it more fun

As an unbiased opinion without any personal nostalgia for this series, Dragonspear did genuinely feel better to me, characters and layout of the game, although the story did lack in some aspects and the villain somewhat came out of nowhere, but I did still find all of the moral dilemmas very fun.
