IMO the only game in the NSMB series that is even remotely close to "good" is NSMBW, and even that is sort of "meh".

nsmb is my favourite ((mainly due to bias)), although I can't find it which makes me sad

Haven't hated any of the NSMB games I've played (haven't played nsmb2)

I remember when I first played NSMB. It sucked really badly. The levels were boring, the game was too short, and it was overall waaaaayyyyyy too easy. I still think all those things. It was a very very very unsatisfying game.

It was my first Mario game and took me years to beat ((iirc I beat it after I played Wii's W8 final level at a friend's house)), but it kept me entertained until I beat it. I probably could beat again if I found it and tried but I can't remember how the castle levers worked and where they were in the castle itself, so I'd probably lose all my lives. Thrice.

Aside from being a soulless cashgrab, why is New Super Mario Bros.2 the worst game in the NSMB series?

Even the game itself is all about getting money it's like they didn't care anymore

And, I'll maintain for the last time that Super Mario Galaxy 2 was the last good 3D Mario platformer because had that magnum opus charm and it was the last to offer freedom and non linear exploration.

However New Super Mario Bros. 2 to me is the first bad Mario platformer because it's a real soulless cashgrab like what I said.

To be honest Galaxy 2 is a lot better than New Super Mario Bros. 2 for the 3DS and Mega Man X6 for Sony's PlayStation 1. Galaxy 2 at least had tons of new gimmicks in it, whereas NSMB.2 had no new interesting gimmick in it whatsover and it was lame as hell and it's much much worse than Mega Man X6. Galaxy 2 had more effort put into the plot and level design when compared to NSMB2. Galaxy 2 atleast had more variety in the level designs and had some nice abstract looking ones when compared to Galaxy 1 which had some plain, generic, boring, iffy, reused level design in some of the levels. The Chimp Stomp challenges are a brand new gimmick; the Drill,Cloud and Rock powerups are gimmicks and plus some of the stages are designed to take advantage of the new powerups; plus a new gimmick is that one level where you have to fly using a bird (which has to me awful controls which are lightyears worse than The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword);it also has better management of the Comet Missions. In Galaxy 1, whenever a comet appears on any one of the levels in a dome, you are forced to do it and that really pissed the shit out of me. Also the comet missions were randomized in Galaxy 1. In Galaxy 2, the Comet missions aren't randomized and they only appear on a level based on the number of Comet Medals that you've collected. Plus, in Galaxy 2 you're not forced to do the Comet missions immediately as they happen. You can delay them and come back to them and do the missions in sequence. That's a great improvement. To me that does improve the overall gameplay experience. Sure Galaxy 2 does reuse some gimmicks from Galaxy 1 but half of the gimmicks in Galaxy 2 are completely new to the game.

To top it all off Galaxy 2 is better than NSMB.2. Galaxy 2 had far more effort in it than say NSMB.2.
