Toad and Toadette two take it in turns rescuing each other in Book 3. I suppose that's a twist on the classic Peach-rescued-by-Mario set-up.
There are lovely little scenes where it's possible to take Toad or Toadette about a dozen steps through tall mushrooms, dense forest and barren crags. This makes a refreshing change from cut-scenes that don't involve the controller.
It's worth mentioning the mine-cart levels here, because they start to become a regular feature. The first two-part mine-cart level occurs in Book 3 and it's quite challenging. There are objects that whiz past and moving the controller accurately behind the cart is difficult to do quickly. The interlude between cart rides is fun as it involves avoiding Mud Troopers.
There look to be more levels in this book. It might be the final book, but I don't think the total is over the 70 levels indicated on the outer packaging; I'll have to wait and see.
Pickaxe Cave Plummet. There are so many different ways to play this level, and it's so big that it's not possible to see the whole level at once. To break blocks or not? To go in the water or stay on dry land? To smash a whole floor of blocks or drop through several floors? All these different approaches are possible on this open-ended level.
