Mario’s first adventure on the Switch is a masterpiece. Every world is packed with things to do. Some worlds are obviously better than others but even the worse kingdoms are visually stunning. The bosses, soundtrack, and gameplay have also brought their A game. Mario controls the best he ever has and Cappy adds so much to the movement. The game gets VERY creative with enemies Cappy can capture and possess, from Mario staples like the Goomba to outright bizarre things like a photorealistic T-Rex. This game is filled with creativity and soul the entire way through, and is for sure one of the best games the whole Mario franchise has given us.

I wrote this review at an actual wedding reception because I thought it would be funny.
