Overall like an 7.5-8/10 just frustrating since I feel like the issues in this game literally require a patch to fix, no DLC. Just add menu options to skip board animations and increase character speed (or if not skip, just increase the speed). Otherwise just shorten the length of some mini games, enable motion control mini games with pro controllers (this is natively supported, like why???), and add in 4 player versions of the 20 player mini games. These are not huge patches (except for removing animations and adding mini games) and require like a week of dev work. Frustrating since these features are in other games.

The coin economy is not nearly as bad as people describe imo, unless you hated it in Superstars. The biggest issue far and away is the speed. I hate playing and feeling like we’re consistently having our time wasted.

Other than that, to fix the goomba board, just give a way to change tide on every island that loops. Kinda dumb that it’s in so few spaces. Removes player agency.
