I am not a fan of 3D World...at all. I can certainly see why people enjoy it; it's definitely yet another great Mario experience, but this is just barely a step up from 3D Land's level of being very generic. Some may argue that it's actually quite a large step up, but I don't see it that way. I see too many elements grabbed from 3D Land, then mishmashed together with some new abilities/bosses/level themes (admittedly the train and dojo are pretty cool) and put onto a home console. There are certainly some positives, like how the multiplayer works much better than NSMBW's, and the extra content after the end-game is actually an improvement over the repetitive special worlds in 3D Land. Like most Mario titles, it's still good, just a bit too disappointing and lackluster for me.
