A bonafide classic - not only a quintessential encapsulation of Nintendo's GameCube-era magic, but just one hell of a charmer on its own. I feel this is underappreciated even by its supporters imo, the camera/level layout is incredibly unique and the combat is swift and satisfying - not to mention Charles Martinet's brilliant voice acting as Wario is always on full display here. If I have only one gripe it's that it could probably use a world or two more as it does run just a bit on the short side, but otherwise a tremendous 3D platform collect-a-thon.
