After SMB3, even the staff didn't know what to do next. On close inspection, SMW looks pretty rough and I wouldn't be surprised if most of its ideas were purely experimental... and yet, it works. Heck, it works very well.

After seeing NSMB's clean sheen, it made me appreciate SMW so much more. Its full of personality; not to mention the responsive controls, terrific level design and abundance of secrets.

Only the most bitter person could hate this game. It's happiness in cartridge form.
