This is probably the most consistently fun mario game imo excluding its sequel. Unlike 64 and Sunshine, there’s nothing outright annoying or anything that I think the game would be better off without, yet I don’t think I would say I prefer this to Sunshine or Odyssey and only narrowly edging out 64 for me. It’s an amazing game, don’t get me wrong, it was the first video game I ever played even and I can’t even count how many times I’ve replayed it so it could just be that I’m so used to everything at this point that it doesn’t really feel as special to me anymore lol.
