>likes Mario for its platforming
>hates the game with the most advanced platforming in the fanchise
Someone explain this to me.
>>320808934
it's almost as if games are made up of more than just a singular mechanic
>Advanced platforming
>Literally hover to your spot: the game
>>320808934
3D platforming is a joke. These games rely on their atmosphere and settings and Sunshine's was shit.
>>320809268
Kill yourself. I mean I can understand if you wanted to say that Sunshine had too much coin collecting or that there could have been better boss fights, but atmosphere? Bad setting? That is objectively wrong. Sunshine had the best atmosphere of any Mario game, ever, with the only other game to rival it being Luigi's Mansion.
>>320808934
SM64 had much better platforming by a longshot, you have to either be retarded or have not played the game since you were a kid
>>320809806
It was too bright and hirt my eyes tbqh
It's very, VERY low on worthwhile content.
>5th of the game's shines are blue coins
>shitloads of red coin and 100 coin missions, way more than SM64 before it
>rehashed bosses and shit everywhere
>chase shadow mario in every location and spray him
Take all this away and you're left with very little.
Also
>less than half as many major levels as SM64
Almost none of that mechanical sophistication matters outside of secret courses, and it's barely even the littlest bit better than SM64 in this regard anyway.
Usually just a sideflip and hovering is enough to shit all over the platforming challenges thrown your way.
It's also missing almost all of the freedom and nonlinearity that SM64 offered the player, since you have to get shines one by one, in order, unlike SM64, and you have to get the seventh shine in every major level, unlike SM64.

This is the wrong-est thing i've heard in like a week
>>320809806
If you're counting spin-offs like Luigi's Mansion (and saying its atmosphere isn't as good, what the fuck), then what about Paper Mario and shit?
>>320811065
First of all, I was saying LM's atmosphere is great. Second, Paper Mario's atmosphere is also great, but it doesn't compare to Sunshine.
>>320811065
Not him, but sunshine is like in the top 5 games i've ever played in terms of atmosphere. Paper mario doesn't compare.
I don't even like normal mario games, the atmosphere alone makes me love sunshine
>>320808934
who does this?
>People playing Mario for the atmosphere
What the fuck
>>320809171
Except all of the levels are designed with you being able to hover in mind, so the challenge is still appropriate.
>>320811136
>>320811191
I dunno, Sunshine's alright for atmosphere, but I'm not seeing how it's so exceptional and definitively blows everything else out of the water.
>>320811372
I know it's like playing fucking VN's for the gameplay, or fighting games for the story.
