Do you think that 2D and 3D Mario platformers are different kinds of games?

[Cheebee]

Kind of different. I mean, the whole experience changes from 2D to 3D, but at the same time, both still feel like Mario games. The essence of what makes them great and appealing remains constant, whether it's the 2D or 3D games.

I think, when comparing, games like Super Mario World and Mario & Luigi are far more different from each other than games like SMW and SM64 are from each other, for example.
