I got this for free from My Nintendo rewards and thought I'd give it a play while I listened to audiobooks. It's a fun diversion and a pretty good port of the Wii U version, but it has some noticeable flaws.
It's 140 levels of platforming speed-running with cameos of all sorts of indie game characters from Commander Video to Shovel Knight. It's fairly simple control-wise, but controls well. The presentation is still very nice though. It's easy to tell where your character is, and the music and graphics, while obviously a step down from their Wii U counterpart, are still very pretty UwU. My main complaint in the controls is that this has no reason to have both the charge and the punch bound to the same button (tap once for punch and twice for dash), as it makes the forward charge really finicky and delayed to do because it NEEDS to follow a punch. So many buttons aren't used for anything in this, and I didn't really see any real reason why it needed to be that way. The other kinda lousy thing in this port is the terrain, as occasionally you or enemies will get momentarily caught on it while you're walking and it'll throw off your momentum. The original game also had 9 player multiplayer, and this port has scaled it down to 4, although I never tried out that part of the game. Verdict: Recommended. Especially if you can get it through My Nintendo effectively for free with gold coins like I did, this is an easy game to recommend. If you carry your 3DS around with you like I do, it's a compelling speed run challenge at best and a fun time-waster at worst. Not a perfect port, but more than good enough.
