In answer to the question and keeping with the article's demand of no off-shoot games, I personally have always considered SMBL 2 - 6 Golden Coins to be something of a bastard child/game. To me the way Mario Jumps is waaay to spacey and I beat the game in one sitting first time through, I was just waiting for it to get bettter and it never did.
so, that's my two cents.
