I just played/beat this for the first time (not 100%), and it really feels like a game that will shine on future playthroughs when I'm more able to really master the movement. I wasn't able to consistently achieve cape flight until the very end of the game, which I finally got the hang of while farming lives in Donut Plains 1. I can only imagine the game really opens up with a little bit more mastery of the mechanics and some knowledge of secrets from the get go. For now Mario 3 remains my favorite 2D Mario, but I expect with repeat playthroughs I'll better appreciate this game's looser, more open-ended style
