It's a sequel. It was built on the engine of the first game and added new mechanics, new levels, and took a new direction in art/music. I don't know what else you would expect from a sequel. Unless you dislike the first game I fail to see what's so problematic about the direct sequel being...

Show me one DLC pack that has has as much content as Galaxy 2.

I still see parallel universes out in the wild occasionally. I don't think it died, it's just a very niche meme. The demographic of people who like Super Mario 64 enough to seek out/enjoy the absurd amount of knowledge on it people like PannenKoek have is relatively small. People still comment...

How far did you get in Majora's Mask? Once you get the Ocarina the fairies tell you the four areas and the order to do them in. You go to the swamp first. One of the main appeals of MM is the sidequests because the clock and timeloop allowed the NPC's to have very specific routines and...

Space Station Silicon Valley is a really great, lesser-known puzzle game made by the studio which would later become Rockstar North.

Ah, I forgot about those ones. I don't see it as that much of an issue, but I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on the quality of SMG2.

Been a while since I played 2, which levels did it share with the first game?

Nintendo backstabbed Wii U owners by making the Wii U :P But yeah it was definitely not the Mario game of the generation that anyone was hoping for. A very fun and polished game, but not enough of a "main event." Odyssey is fantastic and really the sequel people have wanted since Sunshine. The...

Sure, but I think 3D World had fewer new power ups which IMO were less interesting and the level design was a lot closer to 3D Land than Galaxy 2's was to the first. Cat Mario and the Double Cherry don't do it for me as much as Rock Mario or having Yoshi in a mainline 3D game for the first time...

Galaxy 2 had many new power ups and Yoshi. The level design, music, and art direction were also very different.

Strongly disagree with that. FLUDD's mechanics made Sunshine very distinct from Mario 64. 3D World was the same exact thing as 3D land but with co-op and cats. It's not like Sunshine to 64, it's like NSMBWii to the first NSMB.

I'd buy it just to see how these characters would interact.

3D world was pretty good. I wouldn't consider it part of the 64/Sunshine/Galaxy/Oddysey family, though. 3D Land/World are more of their own thing in my eyes. If anything I'd say they're closer to the 2D series.

The first Luigi's Mansion is great. The somewhat realistic art style really sets it apart from any other Mario game, even the other Luigi's Mansions. It's a short game, but that also makes it very replayable.

The Bombs should come out the front or back of the kart. TNT crates can be placed in bumpy areas or around ramps so that the victim or placed near a turn so that the victim must sacrifice their drift in order to remove it, or they can be held and upgraded. The items are more situational which is...
