2002
Fell in love the moment I saw it as a kid. Super fun solo, a blast with friends. Has a soundtrack that I will never get tired of (except for birthday cake) I wish Microsoft would make it BC on the series X/S. I've even won a tournament for the game https://twitter.com/KDThreeSixty/status/1168704403810873344?s=20

This game is so good that it made me want to play sports. I was your average gamer that had no interest in sports at all until I played this game. The flashy and fun gameplay, the way the soundtrack fit so well, MC Supernatural, Rags to riches and how they set up the best players to be like regular bosses. And when you got curious they had databases for the players and their claims to fame. Just perfect, easily the best basketball game of all time
This game took most of my high school life away
2007
This game literally saved my life. I wasn't hooked in the first 4 hours, but when it got going it really got going. I just love how realistic this game is due to your actions actually having consequences. If you dungeon crawl for too long, you get tired, if you say mean things to people, they won't like you. Not being able to control party members is a common complaint, I just saw it as reinforcing the fact that the group is a group of individuals that could make their own decisions. This game DOES have clear problems, but it's an experience that's hard to get somewhere else
A phenomenal experience that we will never get again. The personality bleeds in this game. The gameplay is fun and addicting. This game's release almost brought us world peace
1999
My favorite Donkey Kong game. Swapping between kongs was so fun, the backtracking was a bit much but I can easily look past it. The collectibles though? Ridiculous
Such a fun roller coaster ride
2019
Such a massive step up for the series. A thrill ride from beginning to end, dungeons are actually fun to be in for once. Additions to the combat are very fun even though they make the game a bit too easy. While Persona 3 FES is my favorite, I would be in denial if I said this game wasn't easily the best in the series.
1998
An easy game to just pick up and enjoy. Only reason I don't give it 5 stars is because banjo tooie is better than this game in every way
2000
Rare had the BEST platformers on the N64 and this game was the definitive proof. The worlds were massive, hilarious characters, huge combat upgrade, and a simple story to get behind. I can't believe people don't give this game it's flowers because it's "too much video game". What kind of silly excuse is that???
2001
Game is too hilarious
The real fun in this game is using the cheat that unlocks all of the weapons and then obliterating every monster with them
Game is too generous with coins and bonus stars are too reliant on RNG
The absolute peak of the series and one of the best Mario games ever made IMO.
Got all hyped up for nothing, fan favorites unavailable at launch and WAY too much RNG. A real shame because some of the new features they added were so cool. Cancelled my pre order after the beta
