the contrarian mario fan's perennial favorite game that also gets more hate than it deserves
This game really sucks why do I find myself returning to it? It’s probably just a cope that a bad 3D Mario game exists.
so fun i miss this game will probably buy that stupid mario thing nintendo put out for switch that includes this
Its highs can be very high, but when this game sucks, it fucking sucks.
This game is my first game and still one of my favorites. It is just so original. There's not really another game quite like this. Making the platforming based on locations that could actually exist on a tropical island was genius. Over 20 years later and this game looks gorgeous. The Gamecube did an incredible job with graphics. The music is also excellent. The gameplay is so smooth too. Mario moves perfectly and using FLUDD feels intuitive. Nintendo knocked it out of the park here
Bowser speaking human tongue is so unnerving
