The dose makes the poison. Limiting (yourself) screen time is a good idea.

Realistic portrait of violence and it's consequences are in a way less problematic than clean violence without blood. Should a game really heavy pretend violence wasn't dirty?

If you want to you can find something to criticize in any game – not commonly taken as bad example (in contrast to first person shooters)

=======================

* A strange guy jumps around on endangered giant tortoises for no reason
* The game glorifies drug use: dubious mushrooms serve as a power-up for the character
* It also conveys a dubious image of women: Most of the time Peach is just a helpless "damsel in distress"
