This new Mario game brought many interesting features making It a fresh experience that save the title from being "Anoter New Super Mario Bros. game".
Unfortunately It also comes with few staples that keep the game anchored in the 80s, such as:
- limited lives, a FOSSIL from the past
- run and item use share the same button, in a controller with 10 buttons
combined with the checkpoint system will turn against you in the (fewest) hard levels.
The half of the levels will finish before even starting, because of the length, not the difficulty.
I had a decent time with the game, I did 100% after all, but I hardly see myself doing It a second time.
