Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

Let me go back to the whole Brawl thing.

Brawl beats Melee in every category except one. The gameplay. This is why Melee is more fun than Brawl. Brawl is slow and tedious. Melee is fast paced and fun. Sure, Brawl has prettier graphics and more characters, but who cares. The reason people play Smash is because it's a fun competitive fighter. Quality over quantity as they say. Sakurai even stated that Melee was the sharpest game in the series.

melee is average fighting game speed but okay.

This will change your mind.
 
Here's one:

SM3DWorld>NSMBU>NSMBWii>SMB2>>>SMS>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SMG>>>>SMW>>>>>>>>>SM64>>>>>>>>>SM3DLand>>>>>>>>SMW>>>>>NSMBDS>>>>>>>SMB3>>>SMB>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>SMG2>>>>>>>>>>>SMB:TLL>>>>>>>>>>>NSMB2.

That's how I rank the main series Mario platformers.
 
Sonic Colors copying Mario Galaxy.

It's unpopular because it's ridiculous
 
Yeah. Aside from the fact that both games have an outer space setting (and the fact that both Bowser and Robotnik were trying to rule the universe in some way), they have virtually nothing in common.

Theh have the ending in common and the several random power ups in different zones. As wel as how Mario has one small Luma under his hat traveling with him. Sonic has a small Wisp named Yacker traveling with him.
 
Maybe, but those are pretty minor similarities, which were most likely coincidental. At least compared to Sonic: Lost World, which had several elements that were blatantly inspired by the Galaxy series.

By the same logic Super Mario Galaxy copied Sonic Adventure 2 first. There were at least a few Gravity based levels in Space in that game too :P

Turnabout is fair play.

Yes both Colors and Lost World have similar things to Galaxy (I admit Sonic Lost World kinda takes concepts from quite a few Mario games, and I don't mean just the Yoshi's Island DLC :P Like look at the world order in comparison to the New Super Mario Bros. games and the Deadly Six could technically be the Koopa Kids of the game). But there's still plenty of differences that makes Mario Galaxy a Mario game, and Colors & Lost World a Sonic game.

Even so though, paying subtle homage to a critically acclaimed Mario game in a former rival turned friend company certainly isn't a bad thing as long as they're not doing it too often. (Like I don't know if we'll ever see the Zetis again but if we do, hopefully they'll be a little more unique then just being Sonic's equivalent of the Koopa Kids)
 
More unpopular opinions:
1) I don't like Koopa Troopas.
2) I think Super Mario Bros. 3 is overrated.
3) I think Wario is a great character. :wario:
