@ralphdibny I haven't played the Ori games yet. They look like fine art but I don't know if gameplay will be as good, we'll see. I agree, Sonic 3 & Knuckles is one of the best games ever and, definitely, the best Sonic 2D game! The gameplay and soundtrack are amazing and it also looks so good. Super Mario 3D Land and 3D World are both a bit bland but the worst Nintendo game I've ever played is New Super Mario Bros. 2 New Super Mario Bros. U is quite good, actually. Different developers, according to Iwata Asks. The other "New" games are just okay. Super Mario 64 is another childhood favourite but now I like Super Mario Sunshine much more. The Galaxy games are fine, a bit too arcadey and action-oriented but fun. It's criminal that the second game is not included in Super Mario 3D All? Stars.
Super Mario Odyssey is kind of a boring sandbox with little platforming, in my opinion, the opposite of the Galaxy games. Super Mario Sunshine is the right balance. Just opinions of mine.

@Banjo- ori is worth a try at least, see if it gels. It reminds me a fair bit of DKCR just in terms of the the smoothness of its gameplay. Lots of nice and challenging, but not impossible sections

Not sure how I feel about the New Mario series. The original was great when it came out on DS but I never felt that inclined to play the others. I have played a fair amount of U because it was a Wii U launch game but I never did return to finish it off!

I think Odyssey was decent but it didn't blow me away unfortunately. I really need to get around to 100%ing it at some point. I do kind of find that with 3D Mario games sometimes, they don't really become amazing until you are trick jumping your way to those difficult last stars.

But yeah, too many games to play and not enough time!! 😭

See ya!
