Which type of mario do you prefer?

[Cloudman]

Personally, I prefer 3D Mario over 2D. The 2D ones are great with carefully made and varied levels and objectives, but I just prefer exploring a large open space. Finding stars, red coins and whatever other secrets, as well as doing some really tight platforming made Mario 64 and Sunshine very memorable for me, and I go back to them more often than the more modern 2D ones.
