"Creative genius in gameplay innovation" is nothing more than jumping up and down while moving from left to right to me. That's as subjective as it gets. The points you praise Mario for are so subjective that it's pointless to argue them. Some see the Mona Lisa as a great work of art, others just see an ugly female portrait. Who is right? It's nice that you called my criticism "cherrypicking" but realise that it's valid. It brings home my point. When it comes to Miyamoto, everyone is quick to say 'shhh, hide the flaws' and sing how about how great he supposedly is. |
Not at all subjective. It's more like appreciating a 3-pointer and 1 or a hockey goal from the icing line.
Super Mario today and yesterday made use of creative gameplay implementations that only a blind person could ignore. Examples are screeming out of the latest 3D World video, and nobody forgets still today the mushroom power-ups, the ability to go into green pipes to go to sub-level levels, jumping on koopa shells to hit other ennemies to rack points (from the very first SMB I'm referring to, you realize).
No again it's far from subjective but a question of what you're willing to admit to yourself...
