I dunno. It wasn't bad at all, but it just felt like a sluggish Mario game. I think that the shoulder bash was handled better in II and later games. And the time limit and exploration aspects of the game didn't really blend well IMO.
Also, I'm talking about SML3, not VB. 'Cause I never played VB.
I really liked SML3. The other entries are more unique, though.
But I'd love a game on 3ds in the style of virtual boy Wario Land. And I don't mean a remake, I mean an entirely new game. But with the same mechanics as the first two games.
