A theory about Mario games and where they've been and where they're headed.

I have to admit that I'm one of the people who didn't like Sunshine. It was the only Mario game that I stopped playing after fifteen minutes. Call me irrational, but I'm not going to slog through a game when the first fifteen minutes made me want to put my controller through the television. Now, don't get me wrong, I can appreciate that Sunshine was, objectively speaking, a good game. I watched my brother finish it and apart from the lack of generally crazy settings (the island resort theme was annoying), it was a well polished, high quality game. For me, however, it did not feel like a Mario game. It wasn't the once a generation platformer that I'd been waiting for.
