A game of cheap collisions masked by brief sections of intense speed.

The amount of garbage this glorified tech demo unleashed on the gaming world is unparalleled. Can't deny the fun I had with Bowling and Golf tho.

A disappointing step back for a franchise I might have expected too much from.

A fitting, solid conclusion to a franchise starting to show its age.

Didn't have quite the religious experience that many people did with this one.

Best 3-D Mario from a gameplay perspective, but barely held my interest by the end. Marked the beginning of my drift away from Nintendo.

This and Rock Band are the two games that I quit after I watched an absolute master play for ten minutes.

I wish there were more games like it. So nice I Platinumed it twice.

Still bitter that an obstacle course kept me from the Platinum, but I can't deny how fun the game was.

A super-weird entry for the franchise, but one I came to enjoy once I mastered the new combat.

I know I played the crap out of this at the time, but I haven't ever revisited it.

There's a lot about this game that drives me bonkers now (post game is inexplicable trash), but it was perfect for the Vita when pickings were slim.

This franchise continues to get gameplay so right, and presenting a story so wrong. The number of stale exposition dumps in this game is excruciating and inexcusable. A pacing nightmare with a significant amount of bloat I don't recall from the first entry.

The gameplay is sooooo good though.
