Simplistic fun game, probably too easy.

Anyone who has played the old Mario games could pick up and master this game quickly. The difference that they will notice is that you do not really get anything out of completing objectives. Which makes you not really care if you collect those 10k coins on that level for the extra challenge or just run through it as quickly as possible.
The puzzles do start to get challenging in the secret levels, but in all I think I died once and my gf died twice the whole game through. Maybe 4-5 hours of playtime if you play every level (including secret levels) rushing through. Lots more playtime (hours upon hours) if you try to achieve all the bonus objectives. The controls are real fun, but the cannon controls can be touchy sometimes when you try to aim by leaning the controller.
It was a fun game, my girlfriend loved it especially, but very short and close to no replay value. But hey, that's why you are renting it from gamefly instead of buying it. I would recommend it to any Mario 1-3 fans that would like a short game to keep them entertained.
