Disclaimer: I've only seen a Let's Play on Game Grumps – and I switched it off after three eps.

I do not like the direction of this Mario game. At all.

There are all sorts of game dynamics (i.e. the scoring system, stealing items) that support a competitive attitude to playing this game, even though Mario games in the SNES past and before have always been a cooperative effort. Cooperative by passing turns instead of simultaneous gameplay, but at least not competitive.

And it's a 3D platformer with a fix camera. That cannot work.

That's all I got to say for this little input.
