So ive seen countless complaining about 3D World not being groundbreaking like Mario 64 or Galaxy but I think what its trying to do is capture thr feel of NES/SNES Mario games and apply it to 3D.
If u took a game like Super Mario Bros 3 or Super Mario World and tried imagining what it would look or play like in 3D, would u picture Mario 64, Sunshine or Galaxy? Probably not and most likely u would imagine something similar to 3D Land/World.
The 3D Mario games we have come to know and enjoy since the N64 are nothing like the NES/SNES Mario games and really the only thing that is related are the characters. If u took Mario 64, Sunshine or Galaxy and changed the characters u would likely never say "this reminds me of Mario" but if u changed the characters in 3D Land, u could easily compare it too the old school Mario games just in 3D.
I dont see the need to condemn 3D World for trying to go back to its roots.
