| Dadrik said: I didn't expect such a pertinent read on an April 1st to be honest. Completely agree, even though I think SM3DW is pretty amazing and really original, with a few references to the originals SM. Super Mario Sunshine and Super Mario Galaxy were incredible, I hope we'll get to see other games like this in the series. |
Oh God, this makes my want to edit the OP with an "April Fools" at the end so badly, lol.
I think SM3DW is amazing too. I think it's better than Mario 64, and I think it's better than Sunshine. But I definitely don't think it's original, I don't think it has its own identity outside of being an IsoMario game, and that's the point of the post. I respect 64 and Sunshine more, because they aren't merely "3D Mario games." Mario 64 is the Mario with the castle and the magic paintings. Sunshine is the one with the water gun and the vacation island. The best SM3DW can muster is being the one that's isometric with the cat power up and the jazz sound track, which franckly doesn't count, because I could add music and power ups to describe each Mario game.
