Do you like Super Mario Sunshine?

I liked it alright, but I'll probably never replay it.  It's decent but not great.  

The 3D Mario game I really hate is Super Mario 64.  I tried to like that game on two different platforms and I just couldn't do it.  Mario 64 really sucks.  Odyssey is really overrated too.  I probably like 3D World the best with Galaxy 1 being a close second.  3D platformers are not really my genre though.  Even the best ones are never going to make my "top games of all time list."

Blasphemy! Those are the two BEST 3D Marios! 

But I'm with you in that 3D World is solid - and I feel underrated, especially in its multiplayer. Actually had a good time playing it with a couple friends back in the day at my buddy's apartment while tossing back a few beers, one of the few memorable Wii U experiences for me.

And yeah 3D platformers don't do much for me these days like they used to. I've become more jaded and less patient as a gamer now in his 30s, plus the 3D thing has lost its novelty factor that it had in the 90s/early 2000s. 

It's funny, DK 64 was one of my favorite games of all time as a teenager. One of the few games I completed 100% (or 101% technically ha). Recently I went back to this and just felt meh. Was like "this is convoluted and disorienting.. I was actually crazy about this back in the day?"

One thing that 3D World does right is that it makes each character play differently like in Super Mario Bros 2.  That and they have Peach and Rosalina.  The main thing that irritates me about 3D World is that when I play it, I wish they did all of that stuff with their 2D Mario games too.  I guess they kind of did that with Toadette on the Switch port, but its not really the same. :/

But yeah, I am a full time hater of Super Mario 64.  When I think of all the things I don't like about modern gaming I can trace them back mostly to two games: Super Mario 64 and Doom.  Both had a huge impact on the direction of future action games, but I prefer the action games of 8 and 16 bit eras.
