While it is not my favorite of all time or anything, I did play the shit out of it. Overall I'd say that I liked SM64 better (better camera, more level variety), but SM Sunshine was great too.
I think that with a series like Mario (or Zelda, Metroid, GTA, etc) you have to be willing to roll with the changes; yeah, some may not be as good as others, but variety is the only way a series can ever grow.
Like Zelda TWW, for example. Yeah, a lot of people were turned off by the whole "toon" thing, but I thought it was a good thing in that the developers weren't afrais to try a new angle on an established character (even though I still prefer OOT :lol: )
