I've found criticism of the Moons and their objectives to be weird, play 64 (the darling game) and most of the courses are "Ground pound this spot 3 times" or "Get to the top of the level" Most of the gametime is repeating going through the same areas, to where the objective isn't interesting.

What is a red coin mission if *not* an excuse to get Mario to have to go around the entire level, if blindly, slowly? What is Koopa the Quick race if not a reason to repeat the "get to the top of the mountain" with a slight remix? 3D Marios have *never* been good about having unique objectives!
