This one is so hard to rate. Do I rate it as a collection and how the collection should be? Or do I rate this solely based on how much I love the included games? Both? Ugh… should I even consider that this was a lazy cashgrab? All of it?

Alright…
Super Mario 64 is great, Super Mario Sunshine is flawed, but I love it and Super Mario Galaxy is a straight masterpiece. Galaxy plays best on Switch, Sunshine has a few technical errors compared to Dolphin Emulation and 64 could’ve gotten updated graphics and wide screen and even the extra content of the DS version and this collection should’ve included Super Mario Galaxy 2, so this was a missed opportunity. For three emulated games, it was or is too expensive. The time-limited release is FOMO at its best, screw this.

Nonetheless, great games. What can I say? Could’ve been a 10/10 collection, is a 7/10 collection, but the games are still great and all, so 8/10.

You all know the pros and cons.

It's like rating a Greatest Hits album, or a movie soundtrack CD. The individual jams might be masterpieces, but the assembly of individual pieces makes forming an opinion less straightforward.
