I don't understand why people some people giving it a one star. The gameplay is really fun, nothing is repetitive, they have added an insane amount of things you can do and finally finally some detail. Now this game is getting to a price worth the price, the previous mario had nothing special but the same old mario everyone always played with the same price tag as BOTW which makes sense right. Now this game a lot of content and gives you a lot more freedom compared to all the other marios. I'm not a huge fan of the "elephant mode" I think it's just (fat mode) its not really fun to play as elephants but for the rest it is absolutely amazing! I haven't had this much fun since Mario Wii. If you ever wanted to get back on these marios or try them for the first time this is an excellent pick. Also the art is finally a lot better for a 2023 Mario game, they have added a lot more detailing and fixed everything that used to be boring. I believe all the other mario games coming out right now are horrible but this one is one you should purchase, its a lot of fun EVEN more with friends or familly. :)
