Really? Look at what they gave all of the other Mario games: Super Mario 64: 39/40 Super Mario Sunshine: 38/40 Super Mario Galaxy: 38/40 Super Mario Galaxy 2: 37/40 Super Mario 3D Land: 38/40 Super Mario 3D World: 38/40 Super Mario Odyssey: 39/40

But they gave New Super Mario Bros. Wii of all things a 40/40? I'm not complaining about how Odyssey got a 39, but my problem with their score system is that it is so inconsistent.

Hardly would call scores ranging from 37-40/40 as inconsistent.

So how would Metacritic extrapolate a 39/40? Would they treat it as 3 100's and a 90 or use formulaic equations to come up with 1 score?

I woudl assume, what 39/40 is 97.5% but never cared to check. Which is the same in the end as what you said. Only diffference is the number of perfect scores. If your trying to beat say BOTW for most perfect 10's then you would want it to be split out like 3 10's an a 1 9. If you only care about overal score, it don't matter.

Yes, you would use the 3  10's as bragging rights if you wanted i would guess.
