This game is quite a lot of fun, and I feel like it controls better than some newer mario games in some ways. Something about how the physics in this game work make me feel more at home than what we have now, kind of hard to describe it in a way different than that. I love Isle Delfino and F.L.U.D.D.'s mechanics, they really add a lot to the platforming challenges the game presents you with. I also appreciate the 'secret area' shines, where you have to do platforming without F.L.U.D.D., it almost acts as a test to see if you're relying on F.L.U.D.D. too much. Sure, there are some levels that are less than stellar and blue coins can be a bit tedious to collect, but if you persevere you can get a memorable experience that will make you wish you were visiting Sirena Beach yourself.
