Well, I suppose, first things first, Excellent Punches feel so damn good.

Otherwise, discuss.

So far I think it's fantastic, much better than Partners in Time and trying to put aside nostalgia I think it's tied with Superstar Saga. I wasn't looking forward to playing as Bowser and just wanted to play as the brothers, however Bowser is a blast to play as. Getting Excellent Punches feels REALLY satisfying and the special boss battles with Giant Bowser are fun.

I'm glad they changed how the Brother Items work so they use SP like in Superstar Saga, rather than an item count like in Partners in Time. I wish the Badges worked more like the Badges in the other two games but this new system is fine otherwise, I think I'll really enjoy it once I get the more expensive badges.

I'm trying to find the third Star Cure right now, I really haven't played the game lately because I end up getting distracted by other things. Otherwise I really enjoy it.

Beat this forever ago. Badass as all hell. In my opinion, it's the best of the series. Surpassing SS by just a bit.
