If you had fun with Odyssey, do yourself a favor and play this game. This is a super fun spin on the mechanics introduced in 3D World. Giving access to any power-up at any moment allows for a lot more freedom and creativity for both the player and the designers (although I would have liked to see some challenges explore this versatility even further, and this system renders the collection of power-ups a little obsolete). While it's a little rough around the edges, I really like the idea of Bowser showing up periodically and affecting the whole map. Lastly, I would not recommend 100% completion of this. There are a number of especially frustrating and tedious shines, and the completion reward is a joke. Luckily you only need half the shines to finish the main game, so you won't have to deal with those shines normally.
THE best gameplay loop I have seen. The combination of quick and frantic combat, strategizing and coming up with new builds, the simultaneous feeling of your character getting stronger alongside yourself getting better at the game, and the amazing characterization makes this a (dare I say it) masterpiece.
