This thread is about your opinions/feelings towards various Mario titles.

Let's start it off with my feelings/opinions.


#1
: Super Mario Galaxy 2

It's the last really amazing and the last great and real good 3D Mario title to me because of it's magnum opus charm and the last to keep the exploration factor, open ended, and non-linear gameplay.

#2: Super Mario 3D Land and 3D World

They are only okay but with 3D Land being the worst. They aren't all that good when compared to the Galaxy duology, Sunshine and 64/64DS. I felt that they are too linear and don't feature that exploration factor and open ended gameplay of 64, Sunshine and the Galaxy dualogy. It feels more akin to a retro 2D Mario game than a 3D Mario game.

#3: New Super Mario Bros. 2

It's a boring soulless cash grab that is a money printing abomination. It is a bland, uninspired rehash that claims to have new things but it doesn't. It's the same shameless piece of crap as the games before it. It doesn't stand out. It is worse than SMG2 to some.

#4: Super Mario Sunshine

It's a bit weird, it's odd, and it's a mediocre/meh/underated game. It's rage inducing for many people out there.
 
Mario platformers are overrated and outclassed by other platformers these days. Mario was king, but no more. Rayman, Donkey Kong, and Kirby are all superior platformers to Mario.

Mario Party would have been my favorite series had He been playable.

And of course, Mario Tennis Open has the most insulting roster of all time

And Partners in Tiem is teh best rpg evah
 
also don't see what makes yoshi's island so tick. it's basically yoshi's island ds (yes i know dumbass that snes came first, i've played ds first). i've heard the level design and bosses are better and, no, i disagree. every boss i played against up until the big boo whatever the hell he was called was an absolute joke.

the collect-a-thon still has one of the worst design choices for a collect-a-thon ever.

also, if you think baby mario is annoying when he cries.....I don't get you. they should have made him more endearing though, so you'd want to rescue him because he's adorable rather than some....thing who makes noises to enforce punishment. he's just....there most of the time, and i think the reason for baby mario being in the game is arbitrary. take him out and the game wouldn't change much at all.

not that i'm complaining here's there too.....just saying he's just......there. he's cuter in the ds version but only because of updated sprites

One more thing.....STOP KIDNAPPING BABY LUIGI or at least DON'T REMIND ME HE'S CAPTURED BY HAMMERING IT IN MY FACE EVERY TIME I ENTER THE WORLD MAP....*hyperventilates*

and before y'all say something about yoshi, no, i don't hate the fact that i'm controlling yoshi, i'm fine with him for the most part.

is it a fun little platformer? yes, most definitely. among the ranks of the best ever? no.
 
I honestly feel that Nintendo needs to move on from having Peach being kidnapped in the New Super Mario Bros. series. I mean it gets monotonous very quickly. Atleast make her be playable for once.

Seriously, Peach being kidnapped so many goddamn times is so monotony especially in NSMB.2 which was lame. I mean no one want's to see Peach being kidnapped in the same lame boringass way.

TL;DR.

I can sit with all-low caps in a few sentences, but not in paragraph format.
 
i don't really care, this wasn't aimed at you in the first place
 
Galaxy 2, New Super Mario Bros 2, U, Sticker Star 3D Land and 3D World all made me think of one thing: These games are constantly holding your hand! When are we gonna get more challenging Mario games like 64, Sunshine, Galaxy 1, and the RPG titles?!

I can only remember maybe 10-ish missions in Galaxy 1 that gave me trouble.
More so than Galaxy 2, which the only time I wanted to break my controller was the fight with that dragon.
 
mario games aren't meant to be super difficult, they're meant to be family-friendly games that everyone can have fun playing

I'm not saying it should be Castlevania hard or Kingdom Hearts 1 hard but challenge is what makes a game fun, I can't recall a single game over I got on any of the games I listed.

really? i thought intuitive level design, physics, controls, good graphics, great frame-rate, and superb music is what makes a game fun

really every aspecct of a games inclusion makes a game fun.

Although ill agree with smf on this one, challenge can be fun if rewarding.

Theres nothing worse than a game that takes no effort.
 
Some games are some that I never played but they are still opinions:

Super Mario Bros: I have respect for it.
Super Mario Bros 2(the one with Wart): Cool and I don't care if it's a remake.
Super Mario Bros 3: Seems good, plus it's great to have the Koopalings' debut.
Super Mario World: I am proud of it because of everything it has, it has the Yoshi I like.
Super Mario Land: Interesting ideas, it's sequel it's good too. Too bad it is not fully explored.
Super Mario 64: Could had been better but it is still decent and good compared to the next one.
Super Mario 64 Ds: It dissapoints me.
Yoshi Story: Never played it. The gameplay may be good but it is the game that brought the "cute failure" disease on Yoshi. However, I bet I would like it if I played it.
Wario Ware: Makes me wish Wario didn't change too much. But seems alright.
Super Mario 3d World: Such a Master Piece and the next games should be unique and filled with talent.
Mario vs Donkey Kong series: I wish it was more Donkey Kong vs Mario.
Mario Maker: Don't know what it really is, but I bet it will make me happy even if I will never get it.

I disagree, especially when one is friendly and adorable and has a mustache and the other is a dumb, hairy, flea-infested ape with anger issues.

That's too bad because one of them has Peach. ;P
