Had the same feeling with this final release.

I played the demo at PAX Aus.
It was terribly bland. It’s pretty, and immaculately coded from a character control point of view as always. Difficulty is much much lower than I expected, and failure did not feel possible at any point.
It’s fun and not a bad game, just gets boring fast, like a Kirby game where you can’t really run out of lives.
Platforming segments are solid as always in their design.
6.5/10

I’ve played it for a bit, and I enjoy it in short bursts, and then I get tired of it. Maybe 2-3 levels, max, at a time. But I do keep going back and enjoying it again, so…

This has been how the latest Mario games have felt to me, even that New Super Mario thing they were doing.
They’ve stripped everything out of Mario that made it fun, gameplay wise, for something that just looks ‘pretty’. These games feel more like tech demos than how I felt growing up with Mario games, and I truly and honestly feel that way. This trailer just looks like the same deal, and you’ve confirmed it for me thanks. Such a shame tbh.
