Yeah I remember the big carnival level had the camera issue with the grates and water section. But like you said it was pretty commonplace

I looked it up and it looks like it’s on the globe on the hat ship, looks like the island was drawn over with the ocean texture instead of the green islandy color*

Psychonauts for sure. Felt weird there too but I like the creativity. Galaxies music is soooo good so it brings me in on its own.

Which makes no sense cause those levels and that music.. my god the hotel level was amazing as a kid. I remember looking through the physical guide book for that hotel secret level.

I think Mario galaxy controls the weirdest for me and I grew up playing them all a lot. It feels loose and the planet shape doesn’t help. Still love the game though

It does! It’s so snappy and especially playing it with a GameCube controller, I specifically remember running in tight circles because the sharp angles on the analog stick border felt satisfying for some reason lol.

I agree, odyssey is cool as it’s own thing but I hope they do something fully thematic again like sunshine

Wait what?? How did I never notice that

Paper Mario 64 specificalyyyyyyy

*elevated smash 4’s. Oh god back to no edit button lol

I felt like it had its own identity until ultimate came out, and that one basically elevated ultimates imo.

You just gotta find the game that’s hard, but feels worth it enough for you to keep playing.
