I'm fine if a game is short. I'm fine if a long game has some repetitive elements. However, I cannot stand games that are short AND repetitive, but that's what this is. The boss fight happens five times and only has like one new move each time. Many of the cat shines are just the same exact thing in a different area. It still has great music and fun visuals that's expected in a Mario game, but it was the least fun of any 3D Mario game.
