What are you playing?

Super Mario 3D World [WII U]. Yeah, it's that new Mario game. I remember when the first trailers were made public, back in Byakuren knows when. Well, it's out now, and it's pretty dang fantastic. Here's some reasons why:

1. PEACH IS A PLAYABLE CHARACTER.
No kidding. If I had to say what's the one thing I've been looking forward to about this game since day one, that would probably be the multiple playable characters. Which yes, also includes that one princess some people call, and I quote, the eternal "dumbass in distress"*.

2. THE CAT SUIT.
Say what you want, but I find the Cat Suit a cute idea, if a little comical. At first my only thoughts about it were "Heh, new power-up.", but as I played the game I opened up to it quite a bit.
It also made for a downright hysterical endgame, which I won't spoil for those who haven't played it yet.

3. THE MUSIC SCORE.
While playing the game, try taking a moment to listen to the background music. Pretty smooth stuff, huh?
Makes me glad there's actually a soundtrack release** for this game.

As of this post, I've pretty much completed the entire game. Or close to, anyway.

* Don't ask me where I've heard that. Trust me on this.
** Yeah, I know it's only in Japan. I'm just glad there's a soundtrack release period.
