Laos Mario Odyssey is better than all others 3D marios. I'm inclined to put it toward the bottom but I'm not entirely sure where; there's a part of me that wants to put it below 64 DS and Sunshine but I feel like both are more heavily flawed than it is. Either way, kind of my problem with Odyssey is that it's fun but you can majorly see the cracks in it on a repeat playthrough, feel like it comes off just really overly bloated and tedious to play after awhile, way too much of it is running around big empty fields with no danger posed to you (which you can level at most 3D Mario games to be fair, but it bothers me more in Odyssey), and so many aspects of its design seem to stem from, "This would look cool in the trailer."

One thing I agre eis that 64 DS is Ass. They butchered one of the GOAT. And for what?

This AEW message board has turned into “take shots at AEW at every corner”. I don’t have much interest in coming on here anymore. It’s going to be brutal when WWE fanbase finally gets what they want again….no other major wrestling promotions. My god it’s going to suck. Congrats everyone. I have been part of the IWC since 1999 and have been here since 2005. If you think criticism for AEW is harsh, man do I have loads of threads to show you of how brutal people here can be on the WWE, Vince, and Hulk Hogan. Hell, I remember a period of time when every Hulk Hogan thread gets banned because of how nasty the comments get at the end.

Some way better than others, but they all have had been fun one way or another I do think even the lesser ones are usually still pretty solid. I think the only ones I'd call outright bad are Lost Levels and maybe New Super Mario Bros. 2, and even the latter's more just wildly mediocre and uninteresting than anything.

My only complaint about SA2 music is that for some reason the cover of Believe In Myself decided to throw out a lot of the original song's melody and structure without anything to really replace it with, lines are just sung at random intervals and speeds. Great point. The remixes of the heroes’ main themes are all inferior IMO, except for *maybe* Sonic’s. But the bad guys’ themes are fantastic, especially the motherf***ing EGGMAN song. The regular stage themes, and Live and Learn, and even the menu derivatives of Live and Learn, are where it’s at. Also while I’m here, Sonic Rush’s soundtrack by based Hideki Naganuma is a goldmine. A drug-induced goldmine but a goldmine all the same. I AM THE EGGMAN,IT IS WHO I AM. Even f***ing 06 has certified bangers. f*** it,some certified 3D sonic bangers

I used to love hatewatching just to take the piss out of it in the live threads circa 2015.

One of my favorite things about this board is when heated discussions pivot into something completely off-topic (usually food)

Pretty much any time any game makes me do a snowboarding segment I turn on Escape From the City.

With all due respect, until 1995's head-to-head Donkey Kong Country 2: Diddy’s Kong Quest vs Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island on the SNES, neither Mario nor Yoshi had ever been together in a Nintendo game with under 8.8 million total copies sold.
Not that I should be surprised, but the same Mushroom Kingdom avatar accounts that spam me every day, no matter what I say or what it's about, now saying that Diddy Kong Racing isn’t the superior kart racer on the N64, is why I straight hate these people to the bottom of my heart with all my soul.

NSMB2 is absolutely my pick for the worst mainline Mario game, and I agree it's got more issues of just being rampantly mediocre and uninspired than anything, but to me that's sort of actually maybe worse. If it had some idea that just compeltly failed, that'd be one thing, but instead they dedicated this whole game to desperately selling people on the idea that picking up coins is the real core of Mario gameplay and so they did have one (1) idea, it just suck because the coin emphasis dumbed down every facet of it by making sure they couldn't really offer you compelling levels without having to slow you down on coin collection. I'll take a million badly executed real ideas over whatever the hell they were thinking there. But then, my favorite game out fo that time period was Luigi U so I'm definitely the opposite of the kind of Mario player that 2 was meant for.

Also soooooo much of the endgame of NSMB2 is autoscrolling levels. It feels like they ran out of ideas on how to actually structure a challenge beyond just, "The level moves on its own."

This is gold. 2. Nintendo was really cooking during the late Super NES era, particularly with the games you mentioned and Super Mario RPG. I was a Sega kid (hence my absolute reverence for Sonic) and didn’t end up playing a lot of those SNES games till later in life but they’re absolutely elite. Also, listening to DKC music with rain sound compilations on Youtube is the ultimate relax/sleep music.

The worst thing is if you fall off it often sends you right back to the start of that whole world rather than just the level and it's not fun enough to make that worthwhile.

When TK, the social media savvy 41 year old businessman, willingly brings up what his mom went through after all of what he's said these past few days fully knowing how people are...nah I'm not going to say we are being too hard on him. He's either doing too much and needs to put down his phone or too stupid to realize that this will feed the trolls and have them insult his mom. I'm saying he ain't dumb, he's just doing too much. f*** the trolls and the assholes first and foremost but I'm not gonna act like he's absolved of everything. You're not dumb and you know how this works. Don't. Feed. The. Trolls. For a dude that seems like he’d post on the Something Awful forums or /b/ or literally any message board in the 2000s he is f***ing awful about not feeding the trolls. That was literally rule 3 after NO CAP LOCKS or beware anyone with a Gir from Invader Zim avatar Oh damn, randomly jump into a thread and here I am called out. Though come to think of it, I probably haven't seen an Invder Zim episode in about 20 years and I just like the gif.

I like the Mario game where he goes "wahoo!" and jumps on a goomba. Not the Chris Pratt one though, the other one.

My understanding of Mario is that he is a bigger simp than Roddy Strong, who isn't smart enough to put two and two together and realise that Princess Peach and Bowser are banging and the kidnapping story is just a cover so those two can get their rocks off.
