My favorite Mario game!
Super Mario 3D World has been the source of inspiration for more recent 3D Platformers than sandbox Mario games have.
Both Astro Bot/Kirby and The Forgotten Land are the biggest examples.

The sound track to this game lives rent free in my head. I need to really finish this game.
Square Enix temporarily delisted Triangle Strategy from the Switch eShop.
They could be doing this to change the publisher from Nintendo to Square Enix which is what happened to Octopath Traveler.
It's possible it could be released on even more platforms as a result.
