Such a fun game!

I remember saving up to but this on the eShop. Needless to say, it didn't disappoint at all. Mario's at it again to save Princess Peach from Bowser. Aiding his is the return of the super leaf that interestingly turns him into tanuki Mario. He comes across several other power ups such as the boomerang flower.

With new items at his disposal, Mario's more than hand to deliver a typical beating to Bowser.. The controls are very responsive and easy to grasp. In no time, you'll be doing tricks such as a side somersault, roll and power jump. As mentioned before, you have several power ups you can find from the classics such as the Super Mushroom and Fire Flower to new items such as the Boomerang Flower and Stone Leaf.

The levels are fun and creative. They vary from getting from point A to point B to others being more puzzle based forcing you to think ahead(especially if there's a time limit). The enemies can be annoying but they're fairly easy to dispatch armed or not. It's always fun to knock out the boomerang bro's with a boomerang of your own.

My only gripe with the game is that there're some moves you can't do such as the triple jump. It's a shame because it would help greatly. That along with punching and kicking as in Super Mario 64.

Nitpicks aside, this's a very solid game that anyone can pick up and play. Mario fan it not, I highly recommend it to anyone ready to step up and save the mushroom kingdom once more.
