This meme is getting ridiculous.
What is a "Mario-like"?
A platformer? 2D or 3D? Kart racer? A party board game?
I don't get why tech writers are afraid of genres.
I think it fits, because it looks like it would feel exactly like Super Mario World.
So it's a 2D platformer?
And it's very different from Mario 64, which would also be a "Mario-like"...
So this game is a "Mario-like", and also not at all a "Mario-like". And that's not even getting into the Karts and the Parties...
So the most accurate and helpful descriptor would be "mario-like 2d platformer," but then you might have no reason to click on the link if you're a weirdo who thinks "Oh, that might mean a game like Mario Party!" ;)
