I thought making a sequel to the first game was just going to be nothing but reapeat of what happened in the first game… I was wrong big time. In fact when I first heard about this from my cousin (Chris) while on vacation in Florida… Best trip EVER!!!… sorry I was told they were making a sequel to the first game and we thought it was a joke like the Sonic and Tails in Melee. Besides that, the game picks off what happened in the last game and Princess Peach is once againtaken prisoner by Bowser but then is taken by a new enemy the X-aunts to open the Thousand Year Door. You are Mario and you are teamed up with a whole new set of partners like a Goomba, Koopa, and a Bomb-Omb. You even face old and new enemies with interesting and unique boss battles. Another amazing thing is that Mario can transform into various paper creations like a plane or boat. Finally the best part is that you can play as Bowser in… I don’t want to spoil it for you. My only concern is that the game seems to be a bit more challenging than the first game, well for me at least, and if you beat it once the challenge factor is lessened since you know all of the things you need to do.

In the end, I give this game a 9
