such an amazing game - so excited for the remake

my fifth playthrough - amazing entry to the franchise

Really fun entry - forgettable levels but overall a fun game to go through every now and then.

A terrific sequel to the first Mario Galaxy game. Although the story still falls quite a bit, the qualities of the first game that made it stand out are just as apparent, if not even better in its sequel. Yoshi is also very awesome.

One of my favourite 3D mario games. The atmosphere, sound design and level design are all really great and makes for a memorable experience.

Although this game can be pretty hit or miss with most aspects, the game is overall a very memorable and enjoyable experience for me. The atmosphere and theming are really great for Super Mario Sunshine, and the tropical style that's featured throughout the game really makes it a stand-out title.

One of the best Mario Kart games with versus multiplayer in the series. The track selection is good, decision in bringing back double item boxes was nice (although it doesn't change too much in some ways) and overall its a great game that brings in some good elements without risking too much.

Some tracks are not the most memorable, but there are a few which truly stand out. Some being both tracks on Wuhu Island, retro variants of some Wii courses and 7's variant of Rainbow Road. The glider mechanic was a fairly good addition, as well as the underwater driving. The main drawback I have is the lack of inclusion of a versus mode, which I have always found to be an odd decision, but it doesn't break the game's flow by not being there.

Perhaps my favourite Mario Kart game in the franchise (albeit its quite difficult to decide). The default selection of tracks is by far my favourite in the series currently, and its probably one of the easiest Mario Karts to get adjusted to for new players. Great to play with friends and the online is still a lot of fun to check out if you have it set up. Can be unbalanced at time leading to many people choosing the same loadouts, but when playing casually its an enjoyable experience.

The mission mode is the real stand out factor for Mario Kart DS, as well as the fun local play and great nitro track selection. The infamous Waluigi Pinball is an iconic track and Luigi's Mansion and Yoshi Falls also do not dissapoint. Overall very solid game.

Although unbalanced at times with the special character-based items, the game is overall a great deal of fun to come back to every once in a while & the multiplayer is also a lot of fun.

One of the most underrated games in the franchise. A joy to come back to every now and then.
