Played on release when I was 13 -- This was the first 3D Mario game that I beat, and I think it is probably the most fun and creative 3D Mario game I have played as of yet. Loses half a star for how the moons work, after a certain point they felt a little worthless but honestly because it is a Mario game that isn't a huge deal.

Played on released when I was 13 -- I don't know if a game will ever be able to replicate the feelings I had when I dove into this game. While I do not think it is a perfect game, I would be doing my experience with this game a disservice to award it anything lower than 5 stars. The memories of exploring the massive Hyrule, learning about the Champions, and immersing myself into this game will forever make this game a 5/5 for me.

Probably my favorite Fire Emblem game. It offers a very refined, strategic gameplay loop that hooks you. Have yet to play DLC, but I want to someday. Only docked a single star due to the somewhat poor graphics, and the separate storylines reusing a little bit too much from each other.

Fun game, but does not offer a ton of replay value unless you play online/with friends. OK party game I guess

Been a long time since I played, would have to replay again to review better
