Is There a Bad Mario Game? - Page 2

Hmm. I think the definitive answer is no, there is not a bad Mario game. Sunshine is easily my least favorite, but it would be an amazing stretch in my mind to call that a "bad" game.

I know SMB 2 is what was released in the US, but I judge SMB 2 by the Lost Levels which is an absolutely brilliant and difficult game. SMB 2 is what it was, which was Doki Doki Panic, I dunno, I just can't judge it by that.

Anyway, SMB 1, brilliant, SMB 3, fantastic, SM World (my favorite Mario game), SM 64, brilliant. Sunshine, just okay.

Still, just okay compared to the rest is still not "bad"...Yeah..

Also, I haven't played Galaxy more than 3 minutes in a demo at a gaming store, so I can't judge that one unfortunately.

Super Mario World had some awesome levels and puzzles. I also loved the names of some of the levels. The Star world area was cool too. Top Secret Area!!

Ok so...

Stop hating on SMB2. That game was so much fun when I was a kid. I still enjoy it.

Mario 64 was just freaking amazing.

After that I would say it's all gone downhill.

I really didn't enjoy galaxy or sunshine.

I mean galaxy just made me feel ill for a lot of the game, and the other part felt like I was playing a prettier M64.

What can I say?

The Spinto Band doesn't even have enough money to buy a Wii with SMG.

You can start by saying why SMG made you feel ill.

Super Mario 64 was the height of innovation for Mario post-2D.

Bad Mario game is bad phrasing. I mean, it is Nintendo's flagship character. They don't slack when they crap out a Mario title.

That said, I replayed Sunshine several months ago and it was pretty damn fun. The graphics are especially awesome. I think the game got bad reviews largely because people compared it to the P-E-R-F-E-C-T Mario 64. Oh...and it was not set in the Mushroom Kingdom.

The camera angles and changes during most of the gravity portions of the game actually gave me motion sickness. Which is a first for a game by the way. I don't even get car sick, even while reading/playing DS.

I just want to say that I loved Mario is Missing.

Hm that's weird.
I got really really sick when I played Turok for too long. I guess it had a very low framerate. Oh and Half Life 2 on my old PC. Somehow the game chose for a high-res + low-fps.
