Gosh if it wasn't for the motion controls this game would be so peak. Some of the best boards in the series in my opinion, great mini games that I kinda wish didn't force motion at times, amazing roster to choose from. This game is close to perfection if not for the motion controls.
Talk about a crazy sequel to one of my favorite games of all time. Honestly I would consider this game to be the superior Mario Strikers game but I generally just enjoy the feeling of the original over this game. Maybe if it wasn't tied to motion controls I'd feel differently but who knows. Amazing sports game

I really enjoyed the sequel to the original Yoshi's Island. I never got to complete it but from what I did play I had a blast thanks to the different babies that Yoshi can equip now.
This is my only real exposure the Mini Mario series. I enjoyed it for what it was with moving the mini's in such a way as to solve a puzzle. I hear the original is much better but I don't have the experience to back that up.

I didn't have this game for very long but when I tried to play it the first time it kinda felt, weird. I would need to get ahold of it again because I just couldn't understand how you play to be honest.
This is easily one of the peaks of the New Super Mario Bros games. New power ups, hidden paths, multiplayer battles, multiplayer mini games, unique boss fights for castles. Sure the level motif of grass, desert, water is stale but it's still such a blast to go through.
I genuinely never got the hate for this game by the fanbase. The only problems really is I guess time travel as a story concept is kinda finicky. But the babies combat alongside the bros is so fun! And the final boss fights are legitimately some of the hardest in the Mario and Luigi games and it's awesome! Loved this game.

This is unironically such a fun Mario Kart game. It has the traditional aspects like grand prix and connectivity with multiple DS's for multiplayer. However this game has a banger single player mission mode that they never bring back and it's a shame because it rocks! Absolutely amazing game!

This is a very unique single player spin on Mario Party, traversing a huge board and solving quest everywhere to unlock more mini games for multiplayer and other single player minigames. All to the lead up to a mini game against Bowser which is pretty nice! Now I will say, the requirement of needing your own copy of the game does suck in order to play everything together but a lot of the duel and single system mini games are fun! That said this is definitely a game you might check out on your spare time when you're just interested enough to try it.
This is a game I need to play more of. I only have memories of it with my family when I was young but even then the Dual Driver mechanic didn't quite leave an impact as I thought. The courses are some of the most memorable in the series though!
2002
Besides Mario Party 8, this was the other Mario Party I loved so much. The boards are great, minigames are fun, the character roster is a bit short and some pathways are a bit too hard to enter but it's still raw Mario Party emotion and it rocks.
This was my exposure to Yoshi games. While I definitely enjoyed this game I wouldn't say it made me a Yoshi fan. The baby mechanic is fun for what it is but I much prefer the style of traditional mario games. Still, what I played was fun despite the slight screen crunch on GBA.

This games movement from Mario 64 is such a big improvement. Fludd and Mario's combination of movements make it so fun to platform. Unfortunately the collision detection took a hit and is somehow worse than in 64 and definitely makes some areas a pain to platform on. Also doesn't help that 100%ing this game is just a nightmare thanks to Blue Coins. I don't like this game much but I also don't hate it.
2001
The first time I ever laid eyes on this game I was so scared to play as a kid but also incredibly excited for something I never expected to see from Nintendo. Genuinely the best of the trilogy as I feel it's just short enough to speed through but also long enough to feel like a full game. Playing over and over again to try and beat your previous score is so satisfying.

It's very clear this game defined the 3D platforming gaming industry back when it released. For the time of it's release there are lots of amazing feats that were handled here when it debuted. That said I can't help but feel like the levels after you reach the clock tower upper area of the castle just aren't as good as the lower floor levels. And there are some parts of levels that just feel sluggish to go through. With that said this is a nice comfy game to go through.
