Uhm no it doesn't since you cut off your other section of quotes you say "Aside from the gameplay both SMG2 and R C have which she had no issues with the R C series has a fair bit of story to it with a few sly adult jokes now and again that a child wouldn't pick up on, because it this it can appeal to older audiences while still being child friendly.  SMG2 has none of this, it has pretty much no story, no adult jokes (the characters don't even speak and just makes noises) and the little story it does have is presented in a very child like picture storybook manner." you're implying that she wants a R&C style story where she wants humor that adults will get while she says she wants all of the story gone.

From exactly what she said she would rather have something like the original Super Mario Bros where you start and finish with nothing inbetween, but the other point she was hitting on which is the game looks cartoony which so does her favorite platform series R&C.  But all of this is really stupid cause all she's doing is rehashing her old whine segments about Mario being kiddy.  And the problem being is she talks about maturity while a mature person would say "yeah I dislike this game cause of ______ " and just be done with it, she doesn't stop there, she never stops, and she represents her segment of the gaming media being paid to be professional and mature.

So the camera has improved since Mario 64? (14 years ago)?    And they added more options to the platforming? I mean the jumping is pretty much ripped off and identical.  The hub in Super Mario Galaxy is practically the Mario 64 in Space.

  And no where did I say Mario had to change genres and become and RPG or anything of the sort.  It can still be a platformer and stay true to it's roots while adding compelling features.  I feel like many Nintendo games (Since they have hit 3D) have completely stagnated.

What about a large twist to the primary story?   What about usage of a larger color palette?   How about different control mechanics?   How about a truly compelling multi-player? 

@KylieDog:  Nice way of demonstrating you understood nothing.

2 Thumbs up!

You are complaining about jumping.

Jumping.

Story? Mario? Ha!

LARGER color palette? Every fucking color is expressed in SMG2.

Different control mechanics? Like Wii-Mote Nunchuck? Or would you rather use the B button to jump instead of A?

Multi-player? Who plays Mario for 2P? But NSMBWii had pretty good MP.

So Morgan Webb should lie and say she loved MG2 even though she didn't just to make some people happy.

Yeah.

This is exactly why we hate Morgan.

CURSE HER FOR BEING AN INDIVIDUAL!

KylieDog, you could not have missed that point more spectacularly if you launched yourself out of a catapult over it. Over it and into the Sun.

The point is not "Don't care what others think." It's "don't be preoccupied with looking like a grownup". The entire summary of his quote come down to that 'adult' is a descriptor and not a qualitative modifier.

The world tends to agree with him - many adults read literature meant for children and teenagers. Do you have any idea how many women twice the high school age read Twilight? How many adults read Harry Potter? How many still read the Chronicles of Narnia?

Pretending that being "childish" in design is somehting to be ashamed of, or that one "grows beyond it" as one matures is asinine and ridiculous.

I'd argu with you more thoroughly but I want ot see what you have to say now that you've had the point laid out in front of you; I will say, though, tat you shouldn't go in looking for a point that isn ot there, otherwise you adress nothing.

Rpruett:  I find this quite hypocritical of you to complain about the "stagnation" of Mario games when you yourself own multiple editions of NHL and especially NFL games.  ¬_¬

She's just mad because she knows that she'll never get anywhere near 120 stars.

I'd say jumping is a pretty important part of the Platforming genre would you agree?

Story, I have no idea how it could work either but I'm sure Nintendo could conjure something up.  Even regardless of story they could certainly add a new true villain, or something.

You're right.  ROYGBIV is expressed. 

No different control mechanics like not the same ones as Mario 64 just placed onto a Wii controller.

Any other game would get ragged on for a lack of many of these features.  Plenty of complaints were made about Little Big Planets 'realistic' physics based jumping.  As well as it's paper thin story. 

If this were just isolated to Super Mario Galaxy / Super Mario Galaxy 2,  I would agree.  Sure, these are all nit picking things.  But when the same things show up during a 14 year time span.  It gets a tad repetitive.
