Unpopular opinions about the Mario series

Baby Mario and Baby Luigi add much needed diversity to a roster by virtue of being time paradoxes. I can say they're better additions than Spike or Chargin' Chuck.
 
plus playable babies/children!!!!
 
speaking of playable babies maybe they should start putting kiddy kong into games again
this is possibly an unpopular opinion on its own that i do happen to like kiddy, a lot
 
yea sand bird wasnt that bad as soon as i was told to stay on the neck when it rotates. theres definitely much (much) worse shines in the game
i dont think secret of the village underside (its the chuckster one) was that bad either. the biggest problem is mostly just the whole lot of waiting you have to do
 
The Sand Bird's just annoying with the physics, but I don't remember it being hard or infuriating. I remember staying at around the tail, but Super Mario Sunshine's just super finicky with slopes. It's like 45 degrees you're fine, but 46 degrees, you go skydiving to your death (Mario diving for his final falling moments is the only way he goes down). You just can't trust how slopes work in the game, and the games LOVES throwing tilting platforms at you.

Disliked the level, but I feel it's more out of strong initial disappointment of what it looked like. They build up so much to this majestic creature whose endangered by these monsters and the spectacular reward for getting it to hatch is... this pile of coarse and grainy crap??

Said no one ever though. I like to see a substantiation for that claim, might be an interesting argument.
 
Given the choice between 3D Land and Super Mario Bros. 3/World, I'd go for 3D Land to be quite honest.
