I already gave you argument for that one, do you see difference between Mario Galaxy and Mario Sunshine/Mario 64, Mario Galaxy is way too linear compared to them, and buy your point we can say Mario Galaxy is not proper 3D Mario game beacuse its too linear compared to them. |
Come on.... 64/Sunshine/Galaxy and 3d Land/World are clearly two very different distinct game series. No you can't say that Galaxy is not part of the 64/Sunshine series. Let's compare both series.
64/Sunshine/Galaxy
Open Hub area outside of the levels.
Bigger emphasis on Story.
Levels have multiple courses. (stars/shines)
At most points you have access to multiple courses, non-linear level/course progression.
The name of each course is a clue on what the course will be about and how to get the star/shine.
Levels are typically open with movement in all directions.
Levels end upon finding and obtaining the star/shine.
3D Land/World
Super Mario Brothers Esque Map outside of levels.
Lesser emphasis on story.
Levels do not have multiple courses.
Linear Level progression, completing a level directly unlocks the next level.
Levels are named like a typical Mario Brothers game and split into worlds. (2-1, 3-2) etc.
Castle at the end of each world to advance to next world. (again like mario brothers)
Generally the levels are still pretty open, but you are funnelled into essentially 2D sections fairly often.
Levels end upon reaching the Finish Flag.
The 3D Land/World is essentially just Mario Bros with a different perspective and a bit of depth in another dimension added to the levels, the level design is similair, the naming is similair, the objects are similair, the map, the toad houses... it is basically just 3d mario bros.
They are clearly two different series.
Also in discussions like this would people please note that when someone says 3d World isn't a 3d mario game, they mean it's not part of the 64/sunshine/galaxy series, not that it isnt a game that features 3 dimensions.... tired of seeing pointless arguments that are just "It is 3d mario cause it has 3 dimensions!" When that is clearly not what the other person is saying.
