Drinky, but I agree with him to an extent. It has definitely aged. Sunshine is like five times better.

ITS NOT EVE OUT YET!

Mario 64 still holds up just fine. Hell I loved the DS version even, having no problem with controls.

Sunshine has its problems but is still a damn fine game.

Yup! Good fun for a handheld game, and that's all it needs to be.

And obviously my Galaxy love is too early, but c'mon. Is anyone doubting that it'll be the best Wii game so far?

level design was to large which made platforming barren. collect the coins. lack of different locations.

The series topped at Yoshi's Island, the 3D games were bullshit excercises in imprecision, and New Super Mario Bros. was a good attempt to bring the series back to what it should be.

Totally agree with you. I could just never get into the 3D Mario games, although I thought the FLUDD-less platforming stages in Sunshine were fantastic. Galaxy looks like it furthers the "get from point A to point B" aspect of the classic Mario games while removing all the bullshit like fetching coins, rolling watermelons down hills, spraypainting electric blobs, etc.

most of the levels are badly designed. there are half as many as there were in mario 64. and yet, as you mention, there are just as many 'stars' or 'shines.' bad design and extreme repetition are a nasty combination -- ask people what they think of halo's library.

those platforming mini-stages were awesome though

i don't know, maybe i'm hard on it because

a. i quite literally bought a gamecube to play it

b. it was the first indication that ead was no longer in the first flight of game developers

CajoleJuice · « **Reply #23 on:** October 02, 2007, 09:44:52 PM »

NSMB and SMB2 are the only Mario games that I feel are subpar. I pretty much love every single other one (other than those Game Boy ones, but I don't really consider them part of the main Mario series). For whatever reason, I couldn't put down Sunshine when I got it, and the secret levels were fuck awesome.

generally the shift from linear obstacle courses to multipurpose stages with a variety of tasks to complete. mario 64 was strong enough to keep this flawed structure together, but its success doesn't seem to be repeatable. crash bandicoot obviously wasn't in mario 64's ballpark, but i prefer its descendents to mario 64's -- super magnetic neo, the first sly cooper game

Saves me writing two paragraphs to say the same thing.

Jet Grind Radio is the only other jungle-gym platformer I can think of that I really liked, but that was still built around the urgency rather than exploration or collection.
