This image has been floating around for the past few days and it seems like Nintendo considers that there are two types of 3D Mario games.
With that in mind, do you prefer the sandbox levels of Super Mario 64 and Sunshine (Sandbox Style 3D) or the course based levels of 3D World and Galaxy (Course Clear 3D)? This is NOT the thread to debate this classification, if you would like to do so then there is already another thread for that.
Personally I am quite divided, but if I had to choose I would probably give it to Course Clear 3D. I grew up playing 2D Mario games and Super Mario Galaxy/Super Mario 3D World are the closest games in strucure to 2D Mario, ultimately nostalgia wins out for me. They're all excellent games though so you can't go wrong either way, what do you guys think?
