The game's graphics are characterized by a charming pixel art style and vibrant colors, contributing to its cute and sugary aesthetic.

“The first three worlds did sometimes introduce interesting twists that kept things exciting, both in standard levels and in minigames, but the remaining seven worlds didn't have much variety to differentiate them from the previous worlds (outside of visuals, music, and types of shrooms you go up against).”
“It's a casual game, got a cute aesthetic with bouncy mushrooms, it's very light performance-wise, being able to run on some garbage computers.”
