Are there really any terrible Mario games?

I think he meant the actual controls of the game.

But yeah, your point still stands.
 
Yep, I mean everything's controlable regardless of whether the one who plays it has problems or not.


It's like if I had some jackpot machine next to me and it controlled well despite me being addicted to it. I'm not saying addiction is good though.
 
I think he meant the game is only barely functioning in how it controls

I argue that bringing up jackpot machine comparisons in the first place (in lieu that gambling's regulated and minors are barred from casinos) is not good look for the game.
 
For me, besides the educational games, there aren't really any bad Mario games out there. The worst ones are just OK.
 
Top 100? I love that game!
It's your opinion and all but it's honestly really hard for me to think of anything that justifies its $40 price. Great concept that severely lacks in content, with exactly one party board, plus poor minigame balancing results in MP8 and MP10 being very poorly represented.

The infamous Tug o' War minigame is there too. Now who on earth thought that was even a decent minigame?
 
Mario Mechs isn't even in that one and it's agreed to be one of the best minigames in the series and if you don't think so, you're just a hater.

Originally I was going to mention that they fixed the major issue with Tug O' War in the Top 100s thinking that they did, but apparently according to the Wiki you still have to rotate the circle pad.

Nintendo, what the heck gives? You do realize how easily those things snap off, right? I mean sure, you aren't drilling a hole through your palm like you were with the Nintendo 64 control stick but couldn't you alternate the control scheme to button mashing instead?

This is true. I was stunned they brought back the control scheme, intact from the original game.
 
Yeah, you skin the circle pad instead. In fact the rubber for my circle pad came off a long time ago.
 
or the touch screen for that matter
 
My circle pad snapped off during my Dark Moon playthrough last year, I tried gluing it back on but accidentally used too much and now my circle pad is slightly crusty.

It's functional, but it irritates me at the same time.
 
Hotel Mario, a terrible spinoff game so bad you'll wish you'd never been born while playing it. Seriously, the cutscenes while hilarious are not worth it.
 
As far as I can tell, the gameplay for Hotel Mario isn't really excruciatingly bad that I don't want to be born, just... woefully lacking. Really ugly game though.
 
It is merely lacking at first. It becomes painful later. Believe me, I tried to get through it.
 
Eh, I don't think the game's the worst I'd ever seen, I'd seen worse, worse, worse games that I'd describe as "wishing you were never born" before Hotel Mario.
 
I imagine it has a somewhat "arcade-y" feel with the closing of the doors and what-not, not the most thrilling concept but it doesn't really seem like a dumpster fire on the surface.
