The game’s pacing is perfect, with a subtle and excellent difficulty ramp. This game ditches the more freeform nature of other 3D Mario games in order to deliver level after level of inventive challenges, constantly keeping players on their toes for whatever new mechanic, enemy type, or power-up appears next. It’s classic Mario through and through without any of the fancy movement tech of SUPER MARIO ODYSSEY or SUNSHINE.
SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD, as it did for the Wii U, has a simple structure: players progress through several distinct worlds composed of a series of increasingly difficult stages while collecting coins, leaping over lava, and stomping on goombas. I was delighted to discover that it was the former. So when I heard that Nintendo would be porting the game to the Switch and tossing in a brand new adventure called BOWSER’S FURY, I was curious to see if that feeling of warmth would return as genuine joy or pleasant nostalgia. Mario as a franchise just makes me feel good and SUPER MARIO 3D WORLD for the Wii U was one of my absolute favorites. There’s a warmth to each one that continues to be refreshing in the modern, often cynical and gritty landscape of AAA gaming. It was the first Mario game that really clicked with me, and I’ve been a fan of the franchise ever since. When I played SUPER MARIO GALAXY for the first time in 2007, I felt like I was smiling the entire time.
