@ OP  It's funny that you say this.  I was playing SMG2 earlier today and was thinking about how I missed some of the exploration.  This is what made the forst two 3D Mario games different.  In SM64 it felt like you were exploring an entire world.  In the Galaxy games it's more like the classic 2D platformers with the go from point A to point B approach.  I'm not saying that I don't love this type of gaming as well, but choosing this approach with both styles makes them a little too similar IMO. 

You sound insecure which makes you a perfect victim for the Mario Gestapo. Get him!

Look at this face.  Does this face look insecure?
