Presentation should be higher just cuz Mario games never have a good story or anything? Sounds like, to me, that it shouldn't make SMS's presentation score higher, but it should make the other mario game's presentation scores low too

Just cuz we're used to it, doesn't mean it deserves a higher score... like I hear that the game has a pretty crappy camera system... and I heard people complaining about Mario 64 being crappy too... Does that mean a reviewer person should go "It has a bad camera system, but it was like that before so it gets a PERFECT 10!!!11"... no, it should be more like "It has a bad camera system like Mario 64. Couldn't they have taken the time to make it better?" Or something

Bah I don't care... Although I might just rent the game... not cuz of reviews, but because I have no money...
