This game can try your patience. If you are good at playing older Mario games, then you will have more than half a chance to beat this game.  I found it very hard to say the least. In some levels especially toward the end, I would try a level for a couple of hours and when I would advance, I would quit, and try some weeks later when I mentally wasn't spent. I could not forget about it; every time I beat a level I would think "maybe I could do the next one." I could not beat the boss at the end and had to be satisfied with that. Almost at the end of the game, I found a cheat, it is the first time I have used cheating and it helped me mentally to keep trying, and to see the ending.  I wouldn't use this until you really, really need it, because it would ruin the satisfaction level for you. To see ALL Cinemas and Levels * with the game off hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 *on controller 2 * (you must be in the second controller slot) Keep holding those buttons and access the options screen, then the tree house, then load game. You can save and keep your progress after using this.
