Mario universe soon turns into a 3-D action-adventure that defies all video game logic. Fusing 2-D and 3-D perspectives, not
to mention RPG and platformer elements, the game slips back and forth between dimensions. The action sprawls across eight
worlds filled with traps, puzzles, bizarre mysteries and items that often draw themselves out of thin air. Oh, and just because
Mario's in the title doesn’t mean he's the only star -- players also get to play as Peach and Bowser.
