As far as I remember, this is more or less like the first one. It provided many relaxing hours getting some gaming in after long work days. More wonderfully creative Mario costumes and levels, lots of secrets and stars to acquire. I don't remember what all costumes were in the original, but a couple of my favorites from this game were cloud Mario, rock mario, and fire Yoshi. With cloud Mario, you can create clouds as platforms and reach higher places. With rock Mario, you roll around and smash things, which tickled my destructive side. Fore Yoshi runs really fast and is tough to control, but I loved doing it.
Levels were so varied, often playing on one costume, and I liked trying to get the extra stars through finding secrets, doing the monkey challenges, and getting comet medals. When extra stars appear, you're usually in for some re-working of the level the first time you played it. There's a lot of good replay value because when you beat the game, you really might not have but 2/3 or so of the possible stars. A new universe opens up with even more galaxies that are locked behind requirements to collect x number of stars first. I had 82 when I finished the game, and made it past a couple of the special levels, then would have had to go get more stars to progress.
Great fun, highly recommended. An odd thing--this seems to be more and more the kind of relaxing game I tend to enjoy. I've been finding it harder and harder to get into games that require a ton of skill or patience or time. Am I getting old?
