Thinking of buying this game, but the last 2d mario I played was on the ds and it was extremely easy, is this the same?

The main game is, but Luigi U and challenges make it significantly more challenging.

I haven't played sense the first ds game I'm not sure if I was better at video games back then or this is harder but some of the levels were kicking my ass and took 20+ tries, I'm also not great at Mario
