Some of the best controls I've ever felt in a Mario game. Completely blows the NSMB's moveset out of the water and even some of the 3D games. Amazing how it was all done in only 2 buttons.
Level design was very sharp with it being bite sized but always throwing in a lot of different new elements to keep things fresh and more and more challenging. Perfect difficulty curve. Felt like a puzzle just as much as it felt like a platforming challenge.
Lot of fun cartoony animation as well, in both the gameplay and the cutscenes. Smart idea to show off gameplay features in the cutscenes as well.
