I have a huge Mario gap in my gaming history because I ended up going: nes > Sega Genesis > ps1 > ps2 > ps3/wii > PC gaming (where I am today) there's a lot I missed from Nintendo over the years but I recently played through this game and I personally loved how original and new/fresh it felt. Definitely reminded me of how i felt about Mario 3 on nes when I first played it.

What say you? Did you enjoy it? Want to see this become a new series in the Mario saga?

It is my favourite 2D Mario game. Level design is really good, I like new power ups and physics are very good. Wonder effects are mostly interesting but there are few boring ones. Bosses aren't that bad to me, it is a shame that it's only Bowser Jr. and that some worlds don't have a boss but fights on their own aren't bad. Final boss is the best 2D Mario boss to me for now (I haven't played all 2D Mario games). New playable characters are also really nice (besides Yoshi i Nabbit being easy mode) and badges are really good.

It's a really good game but I think that it is a bit overrated and even though it is my favourite 2D Mario it isn't my favourite 2D platformer.
