Have any of you guys played this one? I just borrowed it from the
libe. Unlike the Wii U version, it has a proper campaign, which some people really liked.
Personally, I found it kind of annoying. There are quite a few levels, though. And Nintendo tries to spice up the proceedings by having two Achievements for each level, with the second hidden until you complete the first (or accidentally satisfy it). In theory, it's great idea, and it might make for an interesting addition to the SMM toolset. But, in practice, most of them are just irritating. And If you mess up one time while, say, collecting every coin in a level, you have to start the whole damned thing over again.
The levels themselves are mostly decent and sometimes novel. I have the feeling that the first 8 worlds are mostly focused on teaching you design tricks. The 9th and 10th worlds were a lot more interesting. Alas, I returned it today! So that's probably the last I'll see of the SMM 3DS campaign. Unless it gets included in SMM DX on Switch.
Which, y'know... it might.
As an aside, Switch games are a lot more suitable for renting than 3DS games, since the data is saved to your system.
