Oh yeah, I did forget to mention that! Yes, that really does change how you play as him. On the one hand, he can fire directly up to make certain enemies completely easy with him, but on the other hand, you can't shoot through any solid objects. Enemies still can though.
I wouldn't say MM10 is any easier than MM9. In fact, there's a few points where it's hard for what I'd call unfair reasons, which I didn't really get from MM9 (in that one I found it hard, but every time I died I knew what I did wrong). The big thing that will make both of them easier is simply practice, which Easy Mode and being able to fight the bosses from the menu makes very easy. That's about it.
Here's another review I found that hits some points I missed. Also I do disagree on a few things with this guy, for example I liked the music and found it at least stronger than the tunes in MM5 (NES).

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
