The best Mario game for a long time !!!

I play Nintendo games since the NES and a long time I was again tied up properly. I could personally with the highly acclaimed Galaxy games do not start as much as I'm probably more of the "old school". I had it a lot of fun with the New Super Mario Bros - Series (DS, Wii, Wii U).
Expected case no 3D freedom as in Super Mario 64, but the game is not a 2D game, but a nice mix of both. Just perfect. Neither too heavy nor too light, and compared to the Donkey Kong - Play (Wii and Wii U) it is more likely in "easy" to classify.
Only the very last level, I can not cope with (Road of the Champions), otherwise in a good 14 days it was possible to play the game to the end.

The game is full of new ideas that are cleverly linked with Mario traditions. More remains for me to say anything. Very strong buy recommendation!

Tip: There are a limited slipcase edition. The slipcase has the belly from Mario, which is displayed in the cat costume, fur, which is very cute and certainly interesting for collectors or Nintendo lovers.
