Probably the worst main series Mario game,.

Before anyone grabs their pitchforks and torches, please know I am a HUGE Mario fan. Super Mario Galaxy, Paper Mario, Bowser's Inside Story, and Super Mario 64 are some of my favorite games of all time. So naturally, when a new 3D Mario game was to come out on the 3DS, you could tell I was hyped to get the latest installment to the legendary franchise. How wrong I was... To start off, the game is far too easy. Super Mario 64, Sunshine, and the Galaxy games all had a nice challenge to them, but said challenge is absent. The entire game is easy except the final boss, which was actually very fun and pretty challenging. The music, other than the final boss theme, is meh at best and will make your ears bleed at worst. The game also just feels slippery for a Mario game. In Mario 64 or in the Galaxy games or in Sunshine mario controlled perfectly. In this game, he just does not control as well. Story... Well, Mario games are not known for their stories, save for the RPGs. The powerups are just not that original. Pretty much every powerup feels like it was in Super Mario Bros 3. But they make the game all the more easy. Pretty much all you will do is use the Tanooki suit to hover over dangerous areas, making any challenge that might have been in this game gone. The levels, other than the final boss' level, all were forgettable. Buying this for 40 bucks, I felt ripped off. Also, the graphics are not that great. Bottomline, if you want a great 3DS game, Ocarina of Time 3D, Kingdom Hearts 3D, Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D, Resident Evil Revalations, and Kid Icarus Uprising are all great choices. Still want a Mario game? Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon and Paper Mario Sticker Star will come out in a few months...Read full review
