I be a avid fan of Nintendo . still , I feel the release of the 3d be a bit rush . the launch game be lack , be mostly remake or gimmicky game try to show off the capability of the new system . with this game however , Nintendo hit the sweet spot . they have make a truly amazing game on they revolutionary new console . the platform feel spot on , with game play from 2d and 3d Mario game . if I have to describe it , I would say it be 2.5 d , if that make any sense . it be like a 2d platformer , but instead of have just a foreground to play in , you play in multiple foreground and background . this game have tanookus fever . there be tanookus goomba , tanooki bullet bill , tanookus bowser , and of course , tanookus Mario . defeat goomba with my tail be something I have not do since Mario 3 . this game be HUGE . in order to have a 5 star file you have to complete all level , get all the star coin , complete all level as Luigi , get to the top of every flagpole , and get to the top of every flagpole as Luigi . con : the tanookus suit make thing almost too easy , it almost feel like cheating . in the last couple of level be hard in a bad way . they only give you 30 seconds to complete they , with clock scatter over the level that give you 10 extra seconds . and they use Shadow clone , shadowy Mario doppleganger that follow you every move , damage you if they touch you . it make I feel as if I be run out of a building that be go to explode with a gunman chasing after I . overall , the good outweigh the bad , give you no reason to pass up on this game .
