Are the levels any different once you complete it and go through with
Luigi?
Up to world 5, enjoying it but not loving it. May sell it after one run through.

Em, is that... I mean... are you just on World 5? You've played through 4 whole worlds..?

I've totally completed the game twice and spent 43 hours on it overall. I love it. I did feel a little underwhelmed to start with though.

This is the best Mario game since Super Mario World. Easily. It's actually fun again! :mrgreen:

So so impressed with how great it is actually, wasn't quite sure what to expect. But it takes all the best bits from Super Mario Bros and Super Mario Bros 3 and wraps it up in a splendid package.

It is indeed awesome, but I do wish there were more of the open levels... also that damn purple bastard is a right banana split in the later stages. :x

It's a top tier Mario platformer.

It's good but a step below the best Mario games

This. A squeak below the two Galaxies and undeniably the best handheld Mario to date.

I was finding it super easy until I got to the castle of the sixth world. I'm finding that boss super hard to beat, but it's mostly because I still haven't mastered the thumb joystick thing and Mario still jumps in the wrong direction when it gets hectic.

i heard the voice of god in my head so i grabbed a rock in a fashionista way

One of the main thinks I loved about it was thatwhen you "complete" it and realise that was only half of the game :datass:

Oops dont read spoilers. Just did the first level. Enjoyed it. Quick question, what do the 3 'big coins' do. There has been nothing telling me about things. Like the racoon suit return ! :wub:

You use them to unlock mini-levels, mushroom houses and boss castles.

Best handheld platformer imo, but like someone else said, it needs more open world gameplay.

I really would love a Mario 64 remake in 3D Land's style.... :wub:

Working on completing the levels with both Luigi and Mario and getting the gold flags to get the secret level.

Just S-8 World left to do.

Oh right. I always try to do that as much as I could cos it's a free 1-up. :shifty:

Some are very tricky without the racoon leaf/suit.
