This is awesome, Super Mario Bros., Super Mario World, Super Mario Sunshine, Luigi's Mansion and Super Mario Galaxy all rolled with some Bar Ba Que Chicken Wings from Pizza Hut into the biggest Burrito of ALL TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seriously folks, Nintendo has done some great stuff. First are the controls, they are a perfect balance. Motion Controls are only used sparingly, as classic game controls are still utilized. Sometimes it gives me a pain, but it's only on one particular subject. The little bits of motion left from that are fun and useful. But most, classic controls are back in the saddle, and boy are they awesome.
Now, let's talk about them items. First off, you got the Mushroom and the Fire Flower back in action. You've also got the Freeze flower and the Star also in action from later games. Unfortunately, there is no cape, that makes me angry. However there is something I like to call an "airhead" which is more vertical than the cape but is still very fun. There's also poison mushrooms from games like Luigi's Mansion but this time they are utilized to your ability and help. Something completely new is the Penguin, you can use this like a freeze flower, but it also lets you slide on solid surface. The items are great, and are really fun to use.
Now, I'm gonna get through the bad stuff as quick as possible. This game seems to try a little to make it easier for spoiled peoplez, as Nintendo has rephrased many times at E3. One is that if you loose a stage say, I think it was 7-10 times they give you the option of watching Luigi do it and skipping it. These can be used good for when a stage is completely useless and is really hard. But they also give you this chance is the Castles! I almost skipped when I realized "I'm gonna face that #$%^ing Bowser on my @$%^ing @$$ own!!!!!" It also has Item and 1-Up stations, and well this is very useful, you'll just find yourself using very little continues. As I do like a game I can beat, a game should separate the 5-year olds from the 15-year olds from the 30-year olds from the 50-year olds and not just try to clump them into a steaming pile of $#!T! (Credit for saying that goes to James Rolfe of AVGN.)
The graphics are both classic and revolutionary, Nintendo doesn't spend to much time on the graphics. It just makes sure it's got the minimum of the system it is on. Some games, like Twilight Princess, are (or is) the exception. It makes you feel like your playing a video game, unlike some games like WWE SVR2010 which feel to real and can trick somebody that RAW is on.
The music is both classic Mario with a new twist, it gives players the sense of "Super Mario World in the year 2009/10." You cannot have a Mario game without such a great score as this. However, it can get stuck in your head, similar to some other past games if only they weren't so beeps and whistles.
Now, don't get me wrong from Paragraph 4, this game still has some excellent difficulty. Besides what I just said, it keeps Japan and Nintendo at it's reputation: Extremely fun, Super Hard. Now, this game also includes Multi-player, and here's whatz up: Battletoads. If you haven't seen the AVGN episode, go see it now. Alone it's hard, but extremely fun. Together, it's the best, BUT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE!!! It is only a two player game if you just plan on having fun and not beating it. If you wanna beat it, go alone. The only thing that helps you beat it in Multi-Player is the fact that you don't just exit the stage if one dies, instead, the other player can pop your bubble but you will still have lost a life. This can help if your having trouble getting through a certain part of the stage.
The boss stages are absolutely brilliant. You might not think so when you get to Bowser. All the boss stages prior to Bowser are extremely great, but it seems they gave Bowser the slip a little to easy. Maybe because they wanted to make him more like Godzilla, without adding Donkey Kong impersonating King Kong. After all, this is Japan ain't it? Which makes me wonder why TF is Link German and Mario Italian? Are the fire emblem characters English? Is DK African? How bout' Captain Falcon, he seems pretty American. Or let's put our attention to a Middle Eastern Gannondorf (yes, I'm not being racist.) How bout's your Outer Space Metroid Players who also seem American or Canadian. It's like Nintendo wanted to make no Japanese characters!!!! WTF??!?!?
This game also keeps the tradition of secrets in all stages and at the very end. Also, requiring you to do some heavy duty to get to these secrets.
The Rating? Keep in mind I love things a lot more then other people. I give it a 5/5.
