To me its mario... after it went 3D, I felt this is the future of mario, there shouldnt be 2D platform marios anymore.

What happends? new super mario bros, and super mario world 3D.... /sigh.

Yep. The franchise that kickstarted the platforming genre should lose it's tight platforming focus.

Reading some of these makes me sad.
