Gameplay

The Gameplay of SMB 3D is honestly fine (if you see people complayning about depth perception you can turn on settings that draw a line under Meat Boy making it clear what he is above of during platforming).

Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
levels are pretty good and feel great to blitz through thanks to the snappy controls and satisfying sound effects when you splat against a wall and launch off of it. bosses are unremarkable though, but still an improvement over super meat boy's bosses, which isn't saying anything given those were almost all absolutely atrocious.
