This is the only mario game that can be called the sequel to super mario 64
it has an excellent score, koji kondo never fails nintendo, ive learned to play several of this games music on the piano
the game is very real also, i got so many neck aches while playing this because i found my self twisting my head as if i was trying to look over the planets
the controls feel so smooth and gravity is simulated excellently, you can walk "around" a planet literally.
the variety of levels, stars, planets, and galaxies are amazing
the boss fights in the games are spectacular also, and so its the endgame cutscene(although it is scientifically innacurate but who cares lol)
not much can be criticized, i guess if you did not like the fact that this game kicks major butt, or if you have a this weird thing against ground breaking games
i definately do not reccomend this game if you hate awesome video games
