The game that is most out of context. Why is Bowser big/scary? Where are you? Why is everything a cat? And why is this game so good? That's right. This is a good game, despite nothing making sense.

The premise is to collect Cat Shines (wtf are them) so that they light up cat lighthouses and activate a giant cat bell so you can absorb its power and defeat the apparently angry Bowser. Nothing makes sense and it is a blast.

The world is a giant sandbox that you can traverse and platform in. The traversal method is insanely fun, with your permanent dino mount. The challenges and rewarding and are paced/spaced really well. The whole game is a polished Mario experience in bite sized format, and very few can say no to that.

It's just, so detached from reality, even more so than a regular Mario game. If they would have given the premise just a smidge more context, I feel like this game would have been a better experience.
