On his last adventure, for the first time in 3D, Mario again has to defeat Bowser that has yet another time kidnaped Peach. This time Mario dfeates Bowser by collecting all the Power Stars that Bowser has stolen from the castle and bring them back and of course also face the big Koopa-king himself (3 times)! All the courses are accessed by jumping into the different paintings inside the castle. Allthough that this game has a standard story, it's _not_ a standard game! I must point out that this is not the best Mario game ever as some people and magazines claim. Okay it´s really good fun as long as it last but once you have found all the stars and secrets there really not so much more to do. Okay it´s a very fine game indeed and the long way until the final confrontation with Bowser is just pure amazing.
