[quote name='KingBroly']Beat it in 5 hours, 26 minutes. Triple Crown of Lives, All Medals, All Flag Poles.
Getting all of the flag poles is tougher than it looks, and is sort of OCD-ish. I'll wait and see where it fits in with my all-time favorite Mario games, but right now I'd say it's in the Top 3 with World and Galaxy. The level design is super simple to the point that it's openly challenging you to explore it.[/QUOTE]
I'd agree about the getting all the gold flag poles being tough, however it will be important later in unlocking something.
