I didn't find a thread for this game yet so ended up starting a new one. So it appears that although this is 3D, the powerups are unlimited (at least the fire and Tanooki that we saw) and you reach a level end rather than star finding, and it is completely platformer oriented (from what we saw) rather than a challenge to proceed. All I can think about is Maelstrom being staired down by Myamoto with a "Problem?"
