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.
