Super Mario 3D All-Stars is one of the toughest games I've ever rated, because on one hand, the collection of games is fantastic and it remasters them well. On the other hand, it's lacking as a collection and feels a bit lazily put together. This is my first time playing each of these games, so I haven't played the originals to know how they were. I think the controls were smooth in each game, but there was still some improvement that could've been made in each. They could've fixed the camera in 64, fixed the Chucksters in Sunshine, but really Galaxy was perfect. Visually the games look fantastic and seeing all of these in HD was great. Each game just looks smoother and more fresh than they did before of stills and gameplay I've seen. I feel like the games themselves are worthy enough to buy this package, but it is lacking in what it could've had. For 60 dollars you get these games and their soundtracks, but there should've been way more. They could've added Galaxy 2 and 3D World, and probably could've had some minigames in here as well. It manages to both feel like you're getting a worthy package and ripped off at the same time. I'm still giving this a good score because of how great these three games are, but overall as a package it was lacking.
