        Paper Mario really killed itself, M&L and Fire Emblem in less than a decade. I can't think of many series' that have had a bigger negative effect on videogames, outside maybe asscreed

          It's a shame cause the first three Paper Mario games were genuinely great
          The original version of Sticker Star was going to be like Thousand Year Door but Kensuke Tanabe fricked it up, resulting in the bland piece of shit we got instead

          What's more insane is how Tanabe was allowed to keep doubling down on blatantly making shit that they knew people didn't like, when so much shit on Switch up until then made a point of trying to address gripes with previous entries.

    Been playing this recently with friends. As a couch coop game it's really fun. Sure it has the depth of a puddle but not everything has to be hollow knight. For what it is its an enjoyable experience.
    Never really went in mario threads before but I'm kinda surprised to see how many people fricking despise the new super mario games. You should be able to know before going into a mario game if your gonna like it or not by now.

      There was a point from about 2010 to 2013 where people just got fatigued of the NSMB games because they were putting so many of them out in close succession on top of them not really changing much mechanically outside of the added co op. Anything else is just autism and nitpicking.

      Not liking the NSMB games is not the same as not liking Mario games as a whole. It's basically a subseries within the Mario series at this point where many of the games share similar characteristics and there are several common criticisms of these games
      >bland artstyle
      >reused assets
      >floaty physics
      >boring soundtrack (complete with the dreaded "BAH BAH"s)
      >formulaic level/world design (grass>desert>water etc.)
      They're just boring, safe games that don't take any risks or make any real attempts to shake up the typical 2D platformer formula. And the flat, reused artstyle makes the games feel like budget titles, which it's hard to believe that Nintendo would cut corners on fricking MARIO games, but here we are

      But that's not the standard Mario games should achieve. Each new game that came back in the day was a celebration in it itself.

      The problem isn't the game part of the game. They play fine but they all blend into mush. I can only recall that one painting level from U and that's it meanwhile I can recall almost everything from 3 and World.

      Mario Maker 2 is pretty dead but is great if you like creating levels in games. It's essentially an infinite amount of 2D mario levels if you like 2D mario gameplay.

      Mario Odyssey is fun but they pad the game out by copy+pasting the same challenges across every world. I believe there's close to 900 moons in the game for you to collect if you want to dedicate 60 - 70 hours collecting them all. Has the best 3D mario platforming mechanics since Super Mario Sunshine so there's that.

    I thought the general consensus is that NSMBU is one of the best 2D Mario games ever made. The problem is they released a 2D Mario as a home console launch title.

            To be fair, Wario Land 1 was also subtitled "Super Mario Land 3", even though Mario himself only makes a tiny cameo at the ending.

              That is fair.
              Accepted and approved. I, me (can't speak for anyone else) won't ever be a little shit about this in the future. SM2 is pretty obviously a Yoshi game.

    Played it with my brother, took us one stage to realise we couldn't try to kill each other and play it co-op because these stages were going to push our shit in.

        NSMBDS was novel because it was the first new Mario platformer since 1992, nearly 15 years. NSMBWii was exciting for introducing official co-op for the first time in platformer Mario, alongside giving the Koopalings a main villain role for the first time in a long while. NSMB2 just reused NSMBWii's assets wholesale but ruined all the music with a ton of constant unnecessary extra "BAH" sounds, opted to reuse the Koopalings yet again instead of another batch of new bosses or a new batch of throwback bosses, and shoehorned in a pointless emphasis on collecting fricktons of coins (an aspect that would be appropriate for Wario, and nowhere near Mario). Didn't help that NSMBU came out less than four months later, reusing NSMBWii assets wholesale AGAIN and reusing the Koopalings AGAIN. NSMB2 and NSMBU failed to be worthy sequels to the same degree NSMBWii was to NSMBDS.

        Myths and Monsters is the best game in the series. Uprising's ground sections are okay, but the flgiht sections are absolutely garbage. Replaying them has absolutely no value and amounts to a 4-5 minute cutscene because there's nothing you can do to speed them up by playing well, and the enemies just appear and leave, regardless of if you kill them or not, so the most you can do is... go for points. No one cares about points.

    New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe really that bad? I played it awhile ago and it didn't seem bad at all, very close to the classic 2D SMB titles with a few advances. Maybe it got worse in time but the few levels I played seemed pretty solid. I've heard conflicting things about Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury though, but most lean to the side of it being good, somewhere between the 2D level based and the 3D open world style.
