I remember being underwhelmed when this was first shown, but it ended up being an incredible game. It looks gorgeous, plays perfectly and differently with each character and is filled with lots of little ideas that you may only see a few times. Captain Toad levels and the Star Houses, where you had to complete up to 10 mini challenges in a row with a 10 second time limit for each, were a nice change of pace from the regular levels. There is plenty of content and the game has great replay value simply by being so good in little chunks, just like all the best Mario games.
