:(. Yeah, I was fully expecting the Koopa Kids in the game. Now I will forever have the Bowser Jr. laugh stuck in my head, from completing NSMB and M&L:PiT right after each other, a month's worth of "MUAHAHAHA."

Oh...oh...that laugh :(

I think someone else in this thread mentioned about the clunky controls in the game, and I agree. It doesn't feel very precise compared to the older Mario games. Spinning in the air takes way too long for me. It's something I'll have to get used to.

Aside from that nitpick, the game's quite fun. It seems harder too than previous games, or maybe I just suck. There is one level where I kept falling in between clouds to my doom. I must have died more than five times trying to get through the level.

Although it's cool to fight Bowser at the end of the world (I LOVE that roar he does), I still feel kinda sad that his death has to be so...gruesome. He's my favourite Mario character and all, Luigi being my second.

Now you got me curious, darn you!

I'm on World 3 now. I got eaten up by a large blue fish :(

I dig the final castle levels. Those chainlink fences sure bring back memories. Also, the animations on the enemies are awesome, especially those dang Piranha Plants.

P.S. How can fireballs work underwater? One of life's greatest mysteries.
