Honestly not it. Plays well and is a excellent game, but at the end doesn't have the soul that some mario games have. it's not nostalgia in my opinion. while I would say SM64 is dope I would say the Cat world in the switch Mario 3d world game is dripping with soul. This game has great worlds and set pieces and is well polished but exemplifies that we are now in nintendo's ubisoft era of vomiting objectives across the map as though they don't cheapen the experience.
