2D Mario + 3D Mario > each individually

But I like Galaxy more than NSMBWii.

After NSMB Wii selling so much I wonder why they didn't make 2D mario for Gamecube. it would have helped HW sales a lot.

Is this a blanket statement or only in reference to Mario games?

Very differend types of games.

One is tight controls with perfect placement of enemies.

The other is running around a world, looking for stars with wonky controls and not perfect placement of enemies.

Honestly, for game design and level creation, 2D Mario is much better.
