    Apart from nostalgia, can anyone give a good reason as to why this is a good game in 2017/2018? I didn't think so.

    This game may have been good when it came out, but it really isn't fun to play today. It's so simple and it's really outdated, playing this game almost feels like a chore.

    Too hard, took so long just to get through the first two worlds, and thats with the guide.

    This is a game that wastes your time.

    Having nostalgic memories doesn't mean this game is good. The controls are clunky, the bosses, besides Wendy, are boring and repetitive, there are some awful level designs, and some of the power ups are useless.

    But amidst all this dispensable extra substance is the core mechanic of Mario; the one thing that holds true to the series, and one thing that ensures Mario is leaps and bounds ahead of its platforming peers - inertia. The faster you run, the higher you jump. It's a brilliantly simple concept that works perfectly.

    The bottom line is that this is Mario hop-n-bop action at its finest, with a goodly amount of minigames thrown into the mix for good measure... As great as it ever was. [Fall 2003, p.38]

    They just don’t make games like this any more, and this particular game really shows us how far we’ve come and that you don’t need flashy graphics and surrond sound to have a mind-blowing game.
