Am I insane?!" There was something about the game's overall design that bored me to death. I was probably expecting way too much. One of the first reviews I read was the one of IGN's Craig Harris who said that his favourite platformer was Yoshi's Island and that NSMB was just as good. Naturally I went "OMG!!! THAT AWESOME???!!" and ... it's really not on the same level. Not even close.
