Knock it off, it's obvious you're not interested in a serious discussion. Kid Icarus Uprising's way of handling difficulty is widely regarded as one of the best in the industry and both Fire Emblem and W101 actually do more than lazily buffing enemies to increase the difficulty. Besides, both of those games already are pretty difficult on Normal, especially Fire Emblem since it has perma-death.

Arguing in bad faith is bad, mmkay?

But, his farts are so delicious Mr. Mackey...

I 100%'d 3D Land in 20 hours. Unlike every other 3D Mario, which I didn't even care enough to 100%. Heck, I didn't even beat Sunshine, now that I think of it...

So, the same length as Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 if you rush, which this guy says he did.

Sunshine also is the only mainline Mario game released after Mario64 that I didn't beat. This will be a very unpopular opinion, but F.L.U.D.D. was a shitty gameplay mechanic that destroyed any enjoyment of SM Sunshine for me. The best parts of the game were the jumping sequences without F.L.U.D.D. I didn't ask for Super Mario: Community Service edition >:{

I only think I hated about F.L.U.D.D. was having to spray goop off of things. The nozzles were fun to mess with, even at the price of traditional platforming.

Now, I do think the level design was weak at points, and there's a ton of irritating shines. Those killed the game for me eventually, although I had fun using the Turbo Nozzle around the plaza.

That's what I'm trying to convince myself of. So far without success :(

Even as a kid I could beat Super Mario Bros. in under 20 mins using a few warp pipes. Still an amazing game.

Even if it was "only" 8 hours. Surely 8 amazing hours are better than 20 mediocre hours?
