First time playing?Yep.
So many great ideas but suffers in some areas.
Indeed I think that's a good way to put it. Every level is unique, there's so much variety, but there's a fair bit wrong with it and it just feels very standard platformer overall. Biggest problem is that its extremely floaty, which I've never thought about 3D Mario before. I think the increased move speed for the new version contributes to that.
