    Fairly Middling Puzzle Platformer

    I was left a bit disappointed after playing this game in how mediocre it was. The difficulty felt very low, the platforming didn’t feel particularly great, and the gimmicks from the levels started to feel a bit repetitive towards the end of each world. The game has some good ideas and the multiplayer is a good time. I’d say that if you were getting the game for a child, they’d have more fun with the puzzle elements.

    This game is a fun little puzzle platformer staring Mario. The graphics are crisp and bright. They really pop out on the switch oled. The gameplay is a bit to easy for a adult but for a kid this game is perfect. New game plus is good for adults but I don't think the game would hold their interest for a full playthrough. The reason for the 3 star review is mainly value. The game is good but for the price I don't see it a worthy value. You can finish the first playthrough in less than 5 hours. At 50.00 I can't recommend it for that price. Especially when there are way more robust offerings on the switch for that price. I picked this up on Mario day for 30 and still think its a bit to pricey for the content within. I would wait for a sale at 20 or below. At that price I would have upped it to 4 stars.

    This game would be good for younger ages, you are in one screen the entire level, not a very high level of difficulty but still fun if you want to play a quick mario game

    Fun while it lasts, which isn’t long. A good player will beat expert mode in less then an hour. Maybe two levels will frustrate you. The bad is you die with one hit, but you can just restart from same spot.

    This is a hood game if you like puzzles and easy strategy. Was hoping it would be more like traditional Mario games. Still good for kids tho.

    The game is fine. This is a remake of a gba with some added features but it's not worth the price being charged.

    Not quite what i expected. A mix of classic mechanics in a side scrolling puzzle game. A little challenging, a little fun

    it's pretty boring. the platforming and controls deliberately take a step back into a more primitive time for gaming. it's kinda nostalgic but at the same time i wonder why i even decided to take this time warp.

    Haven’t played it far enough to compare, but it other than graphics it seems to be a lesser of a game than the OG.
