I didn't want to do this,I love pikmin,but this game. The amount of shit that happened to me, bothers me to no end. First lets talk pikmin,red pikmin are eh,yellow pikmin have only one use,and blues are the best ones. The ai.... IS SHIT. I can't tell you have many times they'll do their own thing and get killed in the process. They are terrible at getting across certain things/doing tasks. The music is very atmospheric. Although some of the puzzles I felt were pretty annoying(final trial cough cough) Speaking of areas it's kinda bland. Really only 2 are good. 2 of them aren't really ''areas''. The final boss is ass tho,not very fun to fun to fight and very tedious. Also lasts for longer than it should. I love pikmin,but this didn't do it for me

After the release of Super Mario World, the Mario franchise went dormant for a single console generation. There were nearly 6 years without a single new game. While I don't find an issue with this - I don't necessarily think franchises need to be alive - it definitely made returning to the property later down the line more difficult. Where do you go from Super Mario World, one of the most beloved games of all time?

Mario Bros bifurcated in 1996, two titles releasing on the same day. One propelled the franchise further into greater heights, and one allowed it to stagnate, intending on making ''Super Mario Bros'' again.

64 is ''Super Mario Bros again''. The overarching thematic narrative of the Mario franchise is ignored here, a game sandwiched between Super Mario Bros 1 and 2 to tell a story that is largely irrelevant. With regards to canon, I don't care whether or not this game is a part of the "main story". What I do care about is that it is the beginning of Super Mario as franchise, a narrative created outside of the risky thematic confines of the series thus far to make it easier to make more games. How do we make more Mario games? We make Super Mario Bros again, but this time in 3D.

Mario once again has to defeat the Koopas and grow more powerful and satisfying over the course of the journey. Mario once again slaughters all that get in his way.Mario once again commits atrocities in the name of the Federation.
