Overall, Play to Win is exactly what you'd expect from a good Super Mario World hack in the year 2024. It looks and sounds good, with a mostly consistent art style and some well chosen music, and plays fairly well too, with lots of fun levels built around specific mechanics in a way not too unlike Super Mario 3D World and its ilk. It's a fun time, and one that you're going probably going to get a good few hours of enjoyment out of as a result.

That said, it does still have its issues nonetheless. First and foremost, there's basically no replay value here whatsoever. Oh sure, if you return to the first level after beating the game you get a cape, and there's a single secret exit in world 1 that leads to a switch palace...

But that's literally it. Apart from those two minor things, the game is entirely linear with no benefit to exploration at all. So it's a fun one time deal, but one that offers literally nothing to justify a replay.

It also lacks a strong identity in certain areas too, since it doesn't really do a whole lot that's actually new. Oh sure, the graphics look nice, and I'm sure many of those are original creations, but that's it. The music, the enemies, the bosses, the mechanics and powerups and level ideas... they're all good, but they're all things found in dozens of other hacks too, with very little to make this one stand out from the crowd.

Either way, it's a good solid game.
