I thought we should have a place to discuss this game. I just started playing it yesterday and am really enjoying it. I think the level design is wonderful, and the game is simply, yet really imaginative. I was really impressed by the amount of replay-ability in each of the levels to try and collect the sparkly gems and special task. What are your thoughts of this game? Do you feel it is worth the $40 price tag as a stand alone title? What are favorite surprises? Don't forget to use the spoilers tool if you are going to discuss something of that nature!
I'm enjoying it quite a bit, just finished the first story book. Every level has me smiling about something - it''s just very cute and clever. I really like just bringing Toad to different levels to see his reactions to new scenarios. I especially like that in book 2 you get to Spoiler
play as Toadette - which is nice to see that she has finally been accepted to a main Mario game.
I can't say whether it's worth the $40 price tag until I see all of the levels, but there's definitely a lot of charm and polish put into each level. I definitely would like to see more budget price experiences like this.
Currently reading: A Feast For Crows AND A Dance With Dragons
Currently on book three (after collecting all the gems and objectives in the first two books). It's a pretty fun game, but I wish it had more bosses (the prologues were repetitive as well).
Absolutely loving this game. I've been going for all the gems (and not worrying about the secondary objective as much just yet) and am at what I assume to be the tail end of book three. Already getting pretty challenging.
