The first big 3D Mario for the Gamecube, and it was a blast. Fludd and its different modules allow you to complete the objectives in a way you see fit (or at least, make you feel that way). The setting of Isle Delfino is unique and the hub world is extremely alive and fun. I give it a 4/5 rating, due to its over-reliance on blue coins to give you shine sprites, the slippery controls, the underwhelming story and finale and the sometimes wonky camera when encountering any wall.
