Game
Classic Mario platformer just like you remember from the 90s but just more beautiful, polished and overall better.
Bowser is back creating trouble in Mushroom kingdom and you have to set things straight. It's a simple sidescroller but the unique scene of humor, balanced levels and colorful maps that only Nintendo can create make this game rememberable.
It's so good that we tend to forget that this is a bit of a money grab, just rereleasing two old games to the Wii U as one to the Switch for full price. But if you don't own the games for the Wii U, then this is a must-buy for your Switch.
A family-friendly game that works for all ages, but at the same time it's not by any means too easy for most adults, especially not the first playthrough.
Co-op
Up to four players can play this game together.
One of the more interesting parts is to the contrary in other games, this game tends to be harder the more players you are. The screen gets messier and you can easily bump each other off small platforms or push someone to fall down with a badly timed jump. Creating hilarious moments.
A game built from the ground up for coop and it works really well.
