holy fuck, glad i finally got around to this one
this is one of the best games ive ever played, i loved EVERYTHING about it
i never got tired of the combat its super tight and satisfying!
the music is gorgeous, the atmosphere is breathtaking, the story is equal parts entertaining, layered and existential.
there is some crazy shit this game does. some super bold ideas they came up and they are all fucking awesome lol
2b and 9s are also super iconic and it makes me happy knowing the game theyre part of is such an incredible video game!!

sm4sh i think is a better video game than brawl, they refined a lot of the physics so i have to give it 4 stars but otherwise yeah this one plays it very safe, not a super massive leap forward and doesnt include any real story mode. not like i was going to play it anyways but still!

i love this game and as broken as it can get, its such a leap forward coming from melee and has so many iconic songs and stages and characters
the subspace emissary is pretty okay but the cutscenes go pretty hard and its a way less monotonous way to unlock all the characters in the game!

idk melee is pretty great and it does a lot right, but i really dont think i come to smash for perfect physics. i come to smash for fun stages and fun characters, of which this game is (now) a bit lacking and its always just the one with less characters and stages in my mind so i dont pick it up much but still a great time if anyone's willing to play it over ultimate!

chance squares are a little lame and for a mario party that claims to be a best of collection and is also $60 it could stand to have more than 5 levels
that being said this is the first playable mario party game theyve made in over a decade

fun but the blandest out of all the 3d mario games and gets a bit repetitive
multiplayer is fun, if a little chaotic

its good, novel for a handheld at the time

the most replayable game ever made and super foundational
not all the stars are winners and dated in a lot of aspects but still lots of highlights and memorable moments
also you can backwards long jump

if there's one game i was held to gunpoint to say is the best ever made it would almost definitely be this one
