I bought this game a few days ago and I can't stop playing. The game is amazing. It's become one of my favorite mario games ever. I like it even better than SMB3 (and I know such a claim is blasphemy!). It starts off way too easy but after the first 60 stars you collect then the game has a sharp incline of difficulty and that's when it gets fun. There is so much variety with the exception of collecting 100 purple coins in every level that something almost always feels fresh. I highly recommend this game.

My kids have that game, but when they go to bed, I play and it is a lot of fun. I haven't gotten very far, but it is addicting.

I agree, it is super fun. Having a hard time getting the wife into it as she distrusts anything 3D, but I'll keep trying until I hook her.

Damn you all.

I was really looking forward to playing this game, but alas, my Wii is on its way back to Nintendo for a repair.

That's a real kick in the balls. I'm sorry to hear about that. Is that common for wii's to break down by the way?

Just got ManHunt2 from a friend for my B-day... Makes a good change of pace for Mario and SoulCalibur.

Damn, sorry to hear about your Wii troubles Salty.

I don't think so, but my Wii was having some disc read issues, even if a game was brand new, so I decided to play it safe and send it in while it was still under the warranty.

Woohoo, my Wii is on its way back from Nintendo! Unfortunately, due to today's snow storm, it won't arrive until after the weekend (it was supposed to get here tomorrow).

Started playing the game today, and I agree that the game is really good. My gf has been playing it more often, though.
