Sometimes I love me some simple linear easy gameplay. Other studios please take note of how significant great characters models backed be great voice acting can be.

Although the loose controls and extended animations have always kept this series from being one of my favorite platformers, I was astounded at how inventive the level designs in this game were. The various interactions with the background were unique and creative from level to level, and I cannot believe this mechanic is not absolutely common place. Nintendo please bring some of this to the next NSMBWii
