It’s good fun to play with the kids and wife. Feels more like 3d world than super Mario bros which is refreshing to play an easier version 2d Mario. Co op isn’t harder but easier. Only reason I’m giving it 4 stars is because for me I like the difficulty of the original traditional side scrollers that Mario bros provided, but my kids couldn’t really play those with me. So I’ll take the nostalgia with a new twist of easy if I actually get to play it with my boys.
