I would love to be able to play this game again! This imho was the best super mario 3D game. The galaxy games don't hold a candle to this old classic! There's just so much life and adventure in this game. It truly feels like your on a vacation getaway. Vibrant and beautiful environments. The platforming feels challenging yet fair. It's especially nice how Mario has weight to him unlike the newer releases where he's floaty when he jumps.
the best thing about all this is how all the levels really connected with one another making it feel like it was one big map. I think anyone whose played this game growing up would die to have a decent well made port of this game, and for those who never got the chance to be able to play an amazing experience.
I really think a lot of people who never got the chance to play this game missed out on a legitmate unique experience that we don't normally see in many games today. Games like Super Mario Sunshine are truly the best example of last best original classic games we used to play. Let's be real, we don't get that many experiences like this anymore.
It's an important example to why game preservation is so important! Gog needs to bring this game to the store!
