Boy, that was quick. :)
Picked up the game today at Mediamarkt and took the Wii out of its flightcase. After a few updates, the game started and off I went. :)
At first glance, it's very easy. If you are an experienced Mario player, you'll be through to the first castle in no time. Three hops on Larry's head and you've got the first key.
Fortunately, the second world already proves to be a bit harder. :)
Nice to see that many elements from Super Mario World are incorporated in this game. Yoshi is back, for instance, and the Koopa Family has returned as well to be a menace to the Mushroom Kingdom once again.
It also has a distinct NSMB-DS feeling, but not so much that you start to wonder why you bought the same game twice; there's enough difference to enjoy both.
The propeller mushroom is a nice touch, and needed to get those precious Star Coins in some levels.
I'm sure I'm going to enjoy this instalment as much as my DS-cartridge.
Cheers, K.
