Bizzare because it has a lot of solid Nintendoisms, it's cute, it's fun and there's a small collectable journey throughout which offers something more to do than just run to the finish. The game varies in difficulty sometimes far too easy and sometimes just right, the second chapter is actually really solid, it quite nicely switches up the classic story that's in a lot of these mario games and offers a bit more difficulty, nothing too hard but compared to chapter 1 it's refreshing.

The problem is this game stagnates and definitely outstays it's welcome, which is strange in such a short game. I aimed to 100% this one but once I saw the target time stuff I just turned it off, I'm not doing all of those levels again. It's just a bit repetitive.

The ending leaves so much to be desired it feels like a marvel movie with it's corny to be continued in another game. Story is here is nothing substantial and I didn't expect it to be! But what an annoying way to end it.

It's a fine game. Especially if you don't push through to the bonus segment which is abysmal. Glad I've played through it but doubt I'll pick it up again.
