Good
- it’s interesting feeling being able to jump off a seemingly endless drop but having gravity pull you around to the other side of the planet.
- the motion controls gameplay segments are really fun. Like rolling the ball, and surfing.
- shooting star bits at enemies and other things is fun. There’s also an incentive to collect star bits by feeding the fat luma to unlock a new galaxy.
- the controls are very smooth. Spinning is a nice “second chance”
- soaring through space from one asteroid to another feels great
- the power ups are a lot of fun. And a lot of new ones. They are used in a very fun way with the stage designs.
- bowser’s hair is styling
- the gravity gameplay is really creative and fun. Both 2D segments and 3D.
- I like the story book segments. Learning about Rosalina's past was interesting. It provided me incentive to progress in the game to unlock new chapters.
Bad
- the game is a tad too easy. Your platforming doesn’t even have to be perfect. If you nick and edge, the game will plop you right over it. The overall level designs were easier than other Mario games too.
