Why Super Mario 3D World is much, much, much better than Super Mario Galaxy

Hurray for the Sunshine love.. TwT

I don't understand why both of these games are disliked in general. Sunshine is basically Mario 64, but improved and you have an awesome water device that let's you hover, blast off, and go FAST! 3D World is like... Mario 2, but 3D and MP. That's awesome!!! I've wanted a 3D MP Mario for years, and when we get one, people hate on it. I'll never understand.

 

Anyways, funny way to explain why 3D World is better than Galaxy, but good points nonetheless. Galaxy does have that awe factor in it, so there is that. It's fun and challenging, but for some reason I just fell out of it...

I may be speaking for myself but I think a lot of people dislike Sunshine because it was exactly not like Mario 64 at all. A lot of cool things in 64 (long jumps, quicker backflips, wing cap, metal cap, invisible caps, punching, etc) were taken out and replaced by nozzles that didn't have a bigger WOW factor than the things they replaced.

Hmm, that is true. It is missing some things you mentioned, like some moves and powerups, but a lot of the good aspects of Mario are still there, and the goal is largely the same as well, but just done differently most of the time. I guess they felt moves like punching and long jump weren't necessary.
