No other adage can aptly describe this game more perfectly than “It’s the journey and not the destination.” Well there’s “Every rose has its thorn,” and “You give love a bad name,” and finally “Bed of roses” but we’re not going into that right now.
Anyway, let’s get the bottomline out of the way first; this game is awesome, and every person who lives on Earth who has a Wii should get a copy. It’s awesome not because of the story and the the totally extraneous Rosalina subplot; but because of all the different levels / worlds you get to visit on your way to the final boss battle. Also, it’s awesome because it’s awesome.
It’s like the Wii was made for this game and vice versa. But before I get ahead of myself, let’s break it down:
Story / Plot
People shouldn’t even be concerned with the plot of any Mario game because they’re all the same. Bowser wants to take control of the island/ world / universe and he can’t do it without Princess Peach at his side. So it’s up to Mario to save Peach, and in so doing, saves the island/ world / universe.
Sucks I know, but you really can’t blame Nintendo for not straying too far from a formula which has sold millions. And to be honest, I wouldn’t have it any other way.
