Best played on stream with friends, its nothing to write home about, if you can get it for free or sucker your friends into getting you a copy go for it. In a time where there are literally giveaways of this game and hundreds of free to play games its really only worth playing if you have a crew or a backlog challenge.
A game ahead of its time but that time was 2005 and this game redefined loading screens as the part where you go from area to area in between the core slide show game experience on Xbox. worth booting up just for the lulz. honestly an amazing game that should clearly be remade with voice acting. its probably the best of the franchise but in that used car from the 60s with grease stains and too much exhaust.

This game made me so sad because gamers mocked it and my impressionable child self internalized that and I was too poor to buy the game I only got to rent it once. so I went on for years thinking this was a mistake in the franchise. When I finally got my hands on the game for real I devoured it got 100% completion and realized you can't trust people who criticize cell shaded graphics as kid games.

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.
