The WhatsNext verdict
For Mario fans who want a gentle, open-ended 3D romp with a memorable boss and a relaxed co-op partner: Running and jumping between bright islands feels good, and the giant Fury Bowser rampages turn each island hunt into a bigger event. Tradeoff: Combat and enemy challenge stay light, so players who want deep fights or hard tests will find it too easy.
