There were times during my 3D All-Stars playthrough when I was tempted to bump this down to 4/5. Particularly whenever I tried to use a wing cap to land on a Shifting Sand Land pillar or when I was simply trying to stay on the elevators in Hazy Maze Cave. But the simple fact was that I woke up every day excited to get more stars and I felt a full sense of accomplishment when I surprised Bowser with the 120 star total. There will always be something special about the juxtaposition of the freedom the game grants you along with its restrictions. There's only so many shapes they could render and only so many sounds they could produce, but each playthrough can be your own and each ending feels earned. Thank you for more than 20 years of joy, SM64.
