A game filled with excitement and fun, that will only last for about a month or so.
Yeap, all this is fun but it gets frustrating from time to time, some times you will keep on fighting the same monster again and again, which makes this game extremely boring ans frustrating. And if you played without a guide, you will have a wonderful time search for all the Star Pieces, and by the time you found all the Star Pieces, (probably not all by yourself, thats if you're a talent or something) you would have already getting sick and tired of this game before buying all those cool badges to boost your stats.
That's not all, after you spend those freaking time finding Star Pieces and buying cool badges, you will still have to spend freaking hell of a time to fight through all those bosses that you're stuck with, probably due to the fact that your Mario suck. So if you wanna start this game, you may want to buy a guide book or something, or browse through the guide in game spot.
Okay,other than some boring fight, all the other stuff like the stories and some dialogue is good to keep you going in this game. Even so, this game will definitely keep you playing for hours and gives you the fun you need from cute games, yes cute games. All Mario games are cute.
