in 2013 mario will be 3d

Probably the most underappreciated game of the series, perfectly marrying the timed course clearing level design of the 2d games with the movement of the 3d games. Offers an absolute buffet of levels hitting you with secret world after secret world. The latter ones reach just the right level of ball crushing difficulty. The four player co-op mode is in fact a free for all deathbattle for the crown. Once again you can tell mario to fuck himself and play the entire game as blue toad (blue toad I love you so much). Probably the only missed opportunity is the lack of secret goals and alternate map routes ala mario world. Never quite reaches the highs of the other 3d games but stays consistently good throughout the entire affair.
