Is it still worth playing?

Nintendo EAD Tokyo and 1-Up Studio's 2013 platformer for the Wii U, with a Switch version in 2021 that includes Bowser's Fury. Its 3D levels have a timer and a flagpole as in Super Mario 3D Land, and up to four players can play as Mario, Luigi, Peach, Toad or the unlockable Rosalina, each with different traits. The Cat Suit lets you climb walls and scratch, Double Cherries make clones, and the Lucky Bell, Cannon Box and Goomba mask add more. Captain Toad puzzle stages use rotatable 3D worlds. Short, varied levels with a steady difficulty ramp, and characters whose abilities matter, still make it worth playing today.
