I am definitely not a gamer, but I love this game!
I am not a gamer. In fact, I got bored playing games since I either always got stuck in one place and didn't know where to go or always got beaten by the enemies. I bought this for my brother and enjoying watching him playing. I started to play and got addicted. I could actually get quite a lot of power stars. The level got more and more difficult. I still don't know how to swim properly and often had to repeat one place over and over. Overall, I enjoy it so much, it is not an easy game but it is not super difficult almost impossible to finish kind of game. We actually got all 120 power stars and I can't wait for Nintendo to come up with the sequel or similar Mario games!
