Did we need 4 of these games? Hell no. Does that detract from the quality of the first 2? Nah fam. I may be a bit biased as this is the first video I game I ever played, but I still think this games holds up. Not as mechanically interesting as the 3D games and definitely not as engaging on a story level compared to the RPGs, but it’s still a fun romp through the Mushroom Kingdom, even if the saturation of this franchise has made it less of a stand out title then it might’ve been otherwise.
