nah
Being linear is not an inherent criticism. At that point youre just complaining that that game isnt what you want it to be. The more limited controls are tailor made to a more linear platformer with more focused level design compared to the sandbox mario games. They aren't gonna give Galaxy a mario 64 movement when the levels aren't made for it.
i know, but giving you limited controls will make the game less fun to play, the platforming is too simple, its just jump at the thing at the right time. the reason people like 64 and sunshine so much is because it has a really high skill ceiling, even though the games are not that hard.
the proof that nintendo figured this out is that mario odyssey also has more advanced movement stuff
No "space theme" conceit like 64 had the typical mario level theme + peach's castle, Sunshine had the tropical vacation theme, Galaxy had floating beans in space. Gay as frick. Also UR MR GAY

lol they didn't play test the game

nah
This game definitely deserves the bing bing wahoo criticism. It's made for literal toddlers. You could've easily spent your entire childhood without being able to beat Super Mario 64
>to 64
as much as I love Galaxy 1 the game is way too linear while on 64 you pretty much can frick with the whole level from the go most of the time >to Sunshine
anon nothing will be as bad as Sunshine, Galaxy has earned a place on the shelf with the good Mario games which is all of them, except Sunshine, obviously
Sunshine is fricking garbage. Not even for Mario standards, it's just a horrible game.
Whether or not 64 is better than Galaxy comes down to personal preference, but if you think Sunshine is better than either, you might have brain damage.
Nobody but Cubegays (the ones who still argue that it was "the last great Nintendo console" instead of the first mediocre one likely because they grew up with it) say that Sunshine was anything but trash. 64, both Galaxy games, and Odyssey are all better than Sunshine.
for me it's the noticeably worse camera system. There's one level where you have to lead a bullet bill to break something and the camera reliability screws up every time.

It takes away the freedom of movement in exchange for a more complicated linear platforming experience except it's still piss easy until you get to late game
The gravity mechanics are rarely put to any use to the point where they may as well be non existent. .
Each level is split into little chunks with cutscenes in between each chunk that slows things down
because it's soulless
its better than both
Level design is too linear. It's more in line with 3D Land.
This, the game is just fundamentally different from both from a design perspective.

I'd argue the levels in 64 aren't very well made for the movement in that game either

That wasn't a criticism, it's just a preference.
very simple controls
No "space theme" conceit like 64 had the typical mario level theme + peach's castle, Sunshine had the tropical vacation theme, Galaxy had floating beans in space. Gay as frick. Also UR MR GAY
i still like galaxy but you're right the other 2 shit all over it, especially sunshine
Sunshine and 64 were harder. That's it. Galaxy is miles ahead in every other metric.
Stiff controls and linear level design.
It's not.
fricking wiimote + numbchuck, no analag camera in a platformer, and the gimmick of sphereical planetoids
>Why is this so bad compared to 64 and Sunshine?
Am i in the bizarro Ganker or something?
Sunshine is literally the worst 3D Mario game.
sunshine has the best controls but i still prefer galaxy over them both
DOGSHIT CONTROLS WITH NO MOMENTUM
IT'S A 3D MARIO GAME THAT'S NOT FUN TO CONTROL
take your meds op
Basic level design and gameplay excused by it's space setting.
>no muscle
it's shit
Mario Galaxy 2 is better than both those games.

nah
still better than the unfinished garbage that was Sunshine
just play sunburn for the full experience
No difficulty

The spring powerup sucks balls.
Orchestra music is highly overrated
>Orchestra music is highly overrated
holy based
>Orchestra music is highly overrated
nowadays. Yeah, definitely.
Yeah I remember back then every fricking last thing had to be orchestral because it was taken as le epic genre for le epic games.
The most fun I have with Mario nowadays is local multiplayer with 3D world since its fun to throw each other off ledges or frick around in general.
