Nintendo... how could you do this to us. The game start out great. You're cleaning up goop, marveling at the graphics... then it just gets stupid. The objectives become far too diffucult, the platforming too diffucult, and yourself cringing after you fall stupidly far and have to do something all over again. If you're looking for the next Mario 64, take my word for it this isn't it. For a launch title, this game looks amazing. Colorful worlds matched with creative level design. Distance blurring even occurs, but I actually find this a fault. Anything more than 5 feet in front of you becomes blurry, and is actually annoying.
If you're also hoping for an innovative take on the Mario game with the FLUDD cannon. Boy, are you infor a suprise. You go from cleaning up to just using it as a means to make sure you don't fall, and it gets old fast. I beat it just to beat it, and I'm going back to play Mario 64. Mario fans may have fun, but everyone else stay away.
