What a great revival of the genre. The 3d engine plays very differently from both the 2d and 3d mario games but feels appropriate. I love how the levels are 3d but still quite sequential, making sure you don’t get lost and gives the feeling of playing in a modern version of the side scrolling genre. The bell powerup to become a cat was the star of the show for my kids, with the final showdown against the endboss being an unforgettable highlight.
