My only gripes about this game:
1). Still no gaddamn indication of which levels have secret exits. I found a handful of them just screwing around (how else would one find them?) but it would be nice to know which levels I need to be more thorough in. It'll save me from dummy missions (i.e. looking for a hidden exit that ain't there).
2). We don't get to keep a stock item at the top of the screen. I miss that feature.
Other than those two minor annoyances, this game is actually brilliant. It's been a long time since I had this much fun in a 2D Mario game. Nintendo nailed it with this one.
9.5/10
