Why do the purple boxes annoy you? I thought they didn't count for anything at completionist! I think that to get everything you just have to get the 5 shiny profile stars.

Anyway great review! The game was awesome and my first 3DS game .

In short, a way better value than Angry Birds Trilogy.

I myself just rushed through the game and never touched it again. While it was fun while it lasted, I was never tempted to go back to it. That's pretty different from earlier Mario games. In fact, my 3DS says that I played more Super Mario Land on it than Mario 3D Land.

I don't know, I just have the feeling that something is missing in this game. That special thing that blew your mind in earlier Mario games. It feels like a Best of Mario without offering something truly unique. While I don't want to say it's a bad game, it defintely kinda blows when compared to other titles in the series.

I, personally, would give it something around 7.5 or so. Not bad, but the magic just ain't there.

As for your review, too much description, too less opinion in my eyes. When I read a review, I don't want to know what exactly I'm doing in a game. I want to know if it's any fun. I don't know, especially since I read "biased review", I was kinda looking forward to it. Because I hate the term "unbiased review". There is no unbiased review. Ever. It's not possible as long as a human is writing it. I don't know, some core elements could be mentioned in a list or something. Like the genre, play time, how many levels, that kind of stuff. But don't mind me, I don't want to tell you how to make your reviews. I'm just saying what I'm thinking.

Truly a very good game, but the remixed levels are not my cup of tea, at least the ones that got used more than 3 times.
The game also has one of my favorite levels in any Mario game and it's the clockwork one.

The remixed levels after World 8 were SUCH an awesome surprise :)

I really really liked this game overall.

There was a moment when i thought this was Super Mario 3D World review. But as always, I read twice in case of.

As usual a very good review! Keep up the good work!

One thing that I didn't really understand from the scoring is the controllers; you say they're good, but I expected... better than that. Wanna make a comment about that? :P

I disliked how extremely easy the first eight worlds are, and would much preferred that the remixed levels were replaced with different content.

I'd still call that great controls... But that's good to know! thanks

You get the raccoon suit too much. It makes the game so much easier since your jumps don't have to be as precise and you can just float to a platform.
