One of the most incredibly designed platformers in terms of stages, its whimsical stage design blends seamlessly with its visuals and sound design too. Each level is fresh and creative, like they just kept pushing those envelopes. Sadly, the bosses besides the final one are just, fine. The Bowser Jr. fights are totally fine, but they make me miss the Koopalings just for the sake of character and gimmick variety. And airship engine bosses are just complete jokes, being easier versions of the bosses from the very first Super Mario Bros. Also there’s no Kamek battle in spite of him being in the game? Sure? The final boss, though? It isn’t tough, but it’s such a good use of the gimmick the game has shown you and oozes creativity. Pure, unadulterated fun. Also worth a mention, the search party stages simply aren’t good in single player. They’re totally beatable, but not really enjoyable. Again, I literally only have two issues here. This game’s excellent, but I am just being honest.
