The peak of 3D cat-based gameplay.
This expansion offers a very weird, but insanely appealing taste of what an "open-world" Mario game could be like.
How exactly? Just make normal levels with godlike design and scatter them across a big ass lake. Problem solved!
Also Bowser is just fine, cool design aside, his boss fights are kinda meh and after a certain point the game just stops introducing new levels, which forces you to re-explore previous areas in order to find the cat shines.
AAND since this is built upon 3D World's engine and assets, you don't get the same amount of wacky moves like in Odyssey, which is a shame, but still, this is a 3D Mario game, which automatically means it's all quality, start to finish.
