Before I get to the review, I say this to you all.
I SUCK AT 3D MARIO. Wait. No. I SUCK AT ALMOST EVERY MARIO GAME EVER THAT ISN'T AN RPG. Thank you.
Platform: Gamecube. What else would it be?
Graphics: OK, these graphics are the greatest in any Mario game ever. Reflective surfaces are done in such a way that you see every movement flawlessly. These are about the best you can do for a 2002 or whenever the hell this was made. 10/10.
Plot: Mario was framed by a weirdo evil goop clone of himself and now his punishment is to... CLEAN THE ENTIRE ISLAND! DUNDUNDUN! At least it's not rescue the princess again... oops, spoke too soon, that just happened earlier in the game. GAH. WTF. 5/10
Play Control: OK, let me be frank and honest. I'm severely biased against 3D Mario games. I just can't figure them out easily. I've had the game a while and I'm still running off ledges, missing jumps, trying to hover with that @%@#$ water tank. I dislike 3D. Unless it's Sonic. 3D Sonic > 2D Sonic. Anyway... 6/10. Not too bad, but f***ing hard.
Challenge: Yes, I'm rating the challenge. This may be a Mario game, but this is no cakewalk. You gotta do everything you can, grab blue coins, red coins, Shine Sprite thingies, smash baddies, bosses, beat the living crap outta the muck all over with the WATER TANK OF DOOM and such. And do frustrating bonus level crap. 7/10 = Frustrating.
Sound: Mario's voice is the exact same one he's had since SM64. And it will never change. I can almost guarantee it. Not that it's bad. The sounds are fairly well done, not too badly, but they coulda used a bit more things to make the sounds NOT SO MONOTONOUS DAMMIT. Water flows flows flows shut up dammit. GAH. 8/10. REPETITIVE. But not too bad.
Overall: Unless you are good at 3D Mario (i.e, kicked the crap out of 64), or are one die hard Mario fan, it's not exactly a recommendation from me. I give the game overall a... 7/10. Meh.
Next review: Look for a possibility of either Megaman Anniversary Collection or WWE: Day of Reckoning.
