Anyone get it yet? Does it live up to the hype?

Hmmph... Well I bought it and it does live up to the hype. Very simialr to all the other Super Mario bros scrollers with an addition of a ton of minigames and head to head battles DS vs DS

How long is the game? I'm not talking to go through the levels as fast as possible, but with some exploration and such.

I'm debating picking up a DS mainly for this game. I just wondered how if I would be disappointed by beating it in 2 hours, or if it would last a good long while?

I've had it for a few days now and although my gaming skills have dwindled a bit (40) some of these levels are a pain in the ass. There are 8 worlds and each world has 8 levels (more or less). I have probably have 3-4 hours in it and just did finish world 2. I suppose if someone was really hardcore they could finish it in 2-3 hours but for a casual gamer I think a minimum of 20 hours to finish it is reasonable.

Oh yeah thats 3 or 4 hours in it and I still need to replay some of the levels because I could not find all 3 big stars. Good game. Annoying at times but well made nonetheless.

I'm really looking forward to buying it.

I have to wait until the start of June though, going to get it for my brother's Birthday.
