I'll always love Mario games and I don't care who knows it - anyone who
dismisses a Mario game based on the fact that it's a Mario game either
hasn't played it or just doesn't think they're fun to play.

I've had a few Mario games and I've always enjoyed playing them, but I
enjoy Crash Bandicott games better. Crash is a cute little character.

Every CB game I've played has suffered horribly from a
completely-on-rails feel -- I always feel kind of trapped.

[I dunno, maybe later CB games got better, I'm talking about the
original playstation 1 games]

Younger generations complaining about the mario series??!? I love super
mario sunshine for the GCN. It's one of the hardest first person games
that I own, and I have a large library of Nintendo Games(gameboy,
gamecube, N64, DS...)
The new mario for the Wii coming out is going to rock!

I played Crash Bandicott games on the Playstation 1 and on the GBA and
to me they were all good. I like that little fox, he's a cute character.
All the CB games are hard. I haven't finished any of the games that I
had.

Super Mario Sunshine isn't a 1st person game.

This is the beauty of making a hit game that kids love to play. As that generation grows up another follows in its place and the profit cycle starts all over again.

I think mario will be around when you and I are dead and gone.
