Agreed, but while not the best side-scrolling Mario games, they're still better than 99% of games in the same genre. So they're well worth playing because they're still very fun. Plus the kids love all the colors and sounds.

On a side note, I love the outlines in the subsections, makes them more stylish and highlights them well.

Don't like the way these games look at all, it's super outdated and feels really lazy. The game apparently has some weird quirks not present in the original wii-u release too. namely in 4 player someone has to use the cheat character Nabbit, which seems like a dumb design choice for any situation not including some kid or non-gamer who's struggling to keep up.

but mostly, this thing should not be £40+. it's a 6 year old port. what the fuck are nintendo smoking?

I haven't played this one yet, but I've heard time and time again that it's the best of the NSMB games. I can't really get behind the price though. I'll probably grab it on a sale. There are too many excellent 2D platformers to be had at a fraction of the price (on the Switch too). Not sure I'd agree that they're actually tops in the genre, but they're still capable of making very good games in the genre.

What I really want is Mario Maker 2.

Mario is more than a game after all these years ..Its more like part of us ,our childhood and one of the games that defined many of us as gamers .So even if nowadays it is not tops as it used to be back then ,it will still have a special place in our hearts .And yea , i think Nintendo knows that and asks whatever price knowing that we will not be able to resist

I don't think we disagree. It's just hard for me to justify the price when I can get several great platformers on the Switch for that price. And there's still several that I really want to play. Stuff like Celeste, Splasher, The End is Nigh, and the list goes on.
