Definitely adds to the challenge, but forces us to talk through the levels so that we move together.

I’m having a great time with it. My wife and I are going through it together. Local multiplayer works great.

Having played various Mario games starting with NES I really enjoy the side-scrolling retro feel.

I’m running Windows ARM just fine with parallels on my M1 MBP. Haven’t had any issues, even weird legacy software that needs serial drivers works fine. MS did a great job with the ARM version of Windows.
