MY favorite 3D Mario.
Controls feel like slightly better Mario 64
Story is perfect for a Mario game, lighthearted.
They stuck with an aesthetic and absolutely nailed it. No other game makes me feel warm while playing it.
Memorable tracks.
Best HUB world.
Rideable Yoshi.
Fun missions and Memorable connected locations.
Graphics some how look better than future games on Wii.
Fludd makes platforming super fun and clean.
Its great!
