Is There a Bad Mario Game?

Super Mario Sunshine was full of great gameplay. I don't know what rating scale people use when they say "bad", but I consider it really good for what it was. I even prefer it to Galaxy in some regards.

I honestly don't know how you can call something bad when there's a million stinkers out there. On Gamecube alone, you have Shadow the Hedgehog, Viewtiful Joe: Red Hot Rumble, Geist, Turok: Evolution, Virtua Quest, Charlie's Angels, and Pokemon Channel. Those are bad. Mario Sunshine? Disappointing, at best. Bad? No.

Honestly, I think people were just craving more after Luigi's Mansion. And Luigi's Mansion was great on its own. People just wanted more.

I don't see the problem with Mario Sushine. Not enough platforming? Maybe, but the game was great (story aside, I played the Japanese version and didn't get any of it).

Did you make this thread to ask our opinions of what Mario games we didn't like solely so you could disagree with us any time we offered a negative opinion of a Mario game?

I don't know if this was technically a bad Mario game, but there really wasn't much to it. I did have fun playing it when I was a kid, but..I do like geography a lot, so that might be part of it. Anyway, the game I'm talking about is Mario is Missing. I'm not necessarily saying it was bad, but it definitely didn't have a lot of gameplay in it. How many of you have actually played it?

I played Mario is Missing on my old IBM Aptiva. I don't remember a lack of gameplay. However, I wasn't old enough to understand most of it. I'm sure if I revisited it, it would seem shallow.

I'm not really seeing the issue with this?

But no, it was not the intention of the thread... it kind of developed that way.
