Dammit, now I want to get into this game. I bought it at launch and thought it was splendid, but without that world-woven interconnectedness I didn't really see a point. Personally, my favourite Mario games (World, 3, RPG) are the ones with hidden pathways, alternate exits, and unique world building. I never cared much for the individual levels, it was how they interacted with one another that mattered to me.
This is a step in the right direction, but until I can recreate Super Mario World from the ground up (not the same game, just the same kinda layout and features) it won't ever be fully the same. Not complaining, I'm still interested, but it's not the same.
