Playing through the stages of Tipping Stars, you quickly get plunged into increasingly more devious scenarios, as you are tasked with using your stylus to draw and retract platforms and guide the splendidly cute clockwork toy approximations of your Mario favourites towards the level exit, picking up coins along the way. The clever but familiar puzzling of the Mario vs Donkey Kong universe is a great place to be at the best of times, yet what they have added to that warm hug of a brainteaser works on so many levels, if you will pardon the pun. This is Nintendo’s first proper stab at a cross-platform purchase, meaning that anyone who buys it (via eShop here in the UK) will receive two versions of the game, which can be enjoyed in tandem. The name may seem a bit obtuse, and in fairness it is a bit lost in translation, but it refers to the same sort of tipping that goes on when you eat a delicious meal, or have a well-mixed cocktail, not the kind of tipping that happens with cement, or when gypsies need to get shot of a knackered fridge. Let’s not beat around the Piranha Plants here by pointing out early doors just how much of a delightful and innovative treat Tipping Stars really is.
