General Commentary and Game Overview
Overall better than the first. I loved this one, it's near perfection.
 
Pros +Very funny
+Visuals again
+Weirdness
+Again, variation
+Fun to play (mostly)
+Secrets
 
Cons -Controls are a bit slippery still
-Again with the no checkpoints
-Donkey Kong minigame was bad for reasons I'll go into in the gameplay section
-Basketball thing was unnecessarily difficult
 
Impressions
Gameplay
9 / 10
The main game is super fun, basically it's SMB2 (except a bit floatier). Despite my kudos for ADDING secrets, they're not good secrets. The Mario Paint one isn't bad but it's unnecessary, the Galaxy one's physics are too wonky to be fun and the Donkey Kong one is terrible. The level design is repetitive and boring and the visual language is wrong. 2/3 things that walk along the ground you can jump on, I tried jumping on the other guy (who's a Kremling just like the previous enemy) and it killed me. Why?
 
Graphics
10 / 10
Even BETTER than the first. Weird, psychedelic, colourful, fun and just plain awesome. Tons of effort put into them.
 
Sound
8 / 10
Nice song choices for the most part, funny sound effects. The only thing I would have done differently is that I would have had Toad say something funny when he picks up cherries (like Luigi from the original SMB2 and his "Just what I needed!").
 
Replay
6 / 10
There's the secret minigames to play, but they're (as said above) not very fun.
 
Final Words
9 / 10
Certainly an improvement over an already good game. Again, look elsewhere for a serious game, but for a joke game it's fantastic.
