It's great, because anyone who'd played 3D Land was thinking "I wonder if we're ever going to get a Cat Bowser, like how he had a Tanooki tail before." And we're just waiting so when it finally happens, it's awesome.

Now we need proper Tanooki Bowser.

Also, how adorable is Tanooki and Boomerang Peach?

Blof and lefty stop being so controversial and calm your tits pls and thanks xx

These adorable little birds are too cute to be calmed.

But those little birds are the kind that are always moving, and never calm.

That's so out of character for you. WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU?!

They'd have to remove coins, because there would be no point to them if there weren't for getting lives. Strangely enough, Sonic Lost World also had this problem. 100 rings didn't give an extra life, so collecting rings was absolutely useless, considering you didn't even get ranked at the end of the level.

That's why the 3DS version is better.

If they took lives out of Mario games, they'd probably end up something like Wario Land 2/3 but with better platforming, less treasure, and multiplayer.

Oh my god the overworld theme is so much better than 3D Land's.

Of course it's outdated! But that doesn't mean they need to get rid of it. Unnecessary innovation can ruin a game (see: Sonic Lost World). You just need to think of the ramifications of what they'd have to change if they just removed lives.

They'd have to remove coins, because there would be no point to them if there weren't for getting lives. Strangely enough, Sonic Lost World also had this problem. 100 rings didn't give an extra life, so collecting rings was absolutely useless, considering you didn't even get ranked at the end of the level.

It also means the level design would change a lot. There would be a lot more leaps of faith and trial-and-error gameplay, because there is no consequence to you dying. Also, time limits would become unnecessary (although I didn't like that this game still had a timer), so they'd remove that, too.

And then you wouldn't have a Mario game anymore. The gameplay just wouldn't be a Mario game. It'd be, I dunno, Rayman Origins v3.

They don't have to change anything to remove lives. They can easily make the the amount of coins collected go towards, say, a medal. For instance, if you collect 100 coins, there is a bonus green star or a medal. They have to rework the infinite spawn pipes, I suppose, but this is nowhere from reworking the foundations of the game as you make it out to be. 1-ups can easily translate to more coins or something.

Gotta say wasn't very impressed with what I played

The thing about the final boss is that I didnt even know I was fighting the final boss! I thought it was part of the level and when I got to the top I would finally fight him but then I hit the ! Block and it was all over. The Star World has been brutally difficult but since I always go for all the Green Stars and stamps I cannot say how hard it would have been had I not. However, I know some parte of the levels themselves are though as nails, like the ending of the Cannonball Cluster level.

Without a doubt the most challenging Mario game since New Super Mario Bros.
