It took me a while to figure out if I was going to give this game a 3 or 4 star review. I gave it a 3 star based on the following. I would only recommend this game if you are a big Mario fan.
Pros:
- Game has amazing 3D visual
- The early levels were at the right difficulty
- The StreetPass function with this game is good
- The level layouts were cool, and setup in a fun way
Cons:
- The game had one too many worlds, I think this game was longer and should have ended sooner
- The bonus levels (if you get all of the star coins and gold flags in the original worlds) should have either been only a few worlds, or been its own separate game
- In some levels you it was difficult to complete the level if you did not have the 3D feature turned on
- The later levels got kind of hard, and the final level was extremely difficult
- I did not understand why you had lives, because if you ran out you would just get more. They should just get rid of the "lives" part.
