This game is Super Mario 64 for the PS2/Xbox. It adds a completely unnecessary element of dark story but then doesn't follow up on it for any of the game except for one middle cutscene and the end. The movement and level design are very reminiscient of SM64 and are dull versions of that. I think worlds 1, 2, 3, 6, 7 were pretty good, 4 was okay, and 5, 8, 9 were pretty bad. The game was going to be a 5/10 for me but then I fought the final boss which was some of the most frustration I've ever felt when playing a game even after my friend, and bad game requester, VivianConquest, looked up the GameFAQs guide to tell me the best strats. If it wasn't a required bit of the game then I wouldn't care, but being the final boss and being that bad left a very sour taste in my mouth for this game.
