Awesome. Always has been and always will be. My biggest complaint about that game was the ending, which, if I recall correctly, was the "It was all a dream" ending. Nothing like making my hours and hours of play seem completely worthless like the realization that if a loud noise had occurred outside of Mario's window 4 hours ago, the game would have ended the exact same way. That being said, I can think of very few games that had what I would call a "satisfying" ending.
