The 4 playable characters (Mario, Luigi, Toad, Peach) from SMB2 are back as being playable once again. Did I see Yoshi is as well? Plus Daisy finally in a playable platformer, that's brilliant. I wasn't so sure I wanted this but Daisy (and Yoshi) being here kinda makes me want it, although that Elephant power-up...oof. Cat power-up was tolerable because it looked like a costume. Ahh whatever, I'll try and get around it.

Also the stretch mechanic was used in the Paper Mario franchuse, so I'm not surprised to see it again. ;3

Iirc Mario getting stretched happens in either Super Paper Mario for the Wii since you need to get some where high, or for the Paper Mario game where he meets his Dream Team Mario and Luigi counter parts, both games I enjoyed. I think it's the 3DS one though it's been a while since I played either. *shrug* So I'm sorry if I misremembered somethin.

Darn it knew there was something else I was meant to watch yesterday. Haven't seen the video yet but wondering what the "shadow" players look like, but shame if you're in a Friend Room they'll be shadows too.

The biggest takeaway from this HAS to be the badge system. That's a fundamental change that really makes the core experience vary per level as you play, I think.

In the treehouse, you can see what I think are this game's version of Secret Exits? At the very end they're at the top of the level when they activate the Wonder Flower in the level and hit an "extended" flag pole. Hard to confirm cuz they cut away the screen after the goal, but that would be neat if that's indeed a thing.
