Even with its limitations it still gives a quality experience with level designs and philosophy's that would be expanded upon with 3D World. So if your up for a quick Mario adventure, it holds some merit and some credit for doing something different during the NEW era of games.

Not only that the main 8 worlds can be blasted through while still trying to collect a much as possible along the way. My save file clocked only 4 hours needed to beat. The quicker levels also help its short length but once again I feel it was a 3DS issue and not a creative one -

For being a 3D handheld Mario title it does a surprisingly well job of being a full and complete title with the only issues for me being more from the console itself. Its camera doesn't give you a lot to work with and very will be fighting you during open fully 3D sections -
