Besides, it'll give me more time to finish Brutal Legend and get into Assassin's Creed 2.
You know, if you told anyone that outside of this forum or gaming community, they'd call you one creepy f*cker. Well, I still think you are.

I am pretty excited for this game. I agree with having Princess Toadstool (or Peach) as the fourth character though, then it would be like a happy mix of Super Mario World and Super Mario Bros. 2. It'll still be awesome though.

Ever since I saw Super Mario Bros. Z ep 8 on Newgrounds, I await the return of the Raccoon, Tanooki and Sledgehammer suits.

I mark out for anything Mario pretty much, I can't wait for this game.

And for whoever asked, hells yeah Mario Sunshine is worth it.

As for difficulty, I thought one or two of the mazes in Lost Levels were a bit tricky, but mostly b/c I'd always run outta time just as I figured them out, then not remember what I'd just done like two minutes earlier when I had to run the maze again. But I agree, most people probably don't play Mario games for a challenge.

I'm gonna start Galaxy soon. Any good? (like I gotta ask, just curious what you folks think)

Galaxy is the sh*t and I haven't even played it yet besides the demo. Nobody I know with a Wii has it.

Bunch of dumbasses.

Better than Mario 64? Great googly-moogly... I once spent my entire Christmas vacation playing that game back in high school... sounds like I might need to wear a helmet for this one.

Barky called it. Galaxy is way better than 64. It feels stiff and rigid in comparison to Galaxy's magic, music, and marvel. Its tied as my favorite Mario game with Super Mario World. Those are some pretty think nostalgia memories to rival, so you know its good.

I think opinions about that were pretty mixed around here when we alll first played it. I believe it's a much greater experience overall.

I enjoyed Galaxy more simply because it felt more epic and...grander.

Spoiler:
Also, has anyone seen the video of the final boss for this game? I saw it and it felt kinda lame.

I like Mario 64 better than Galaxy for two reasons.

1) While the music in Galaxy is "beautiful" and all that, the music in SM64 is, unquestionably, much more memorable.
2) The setting. I don't know why, but I did, and still do, dislike the fact that most of Galaxy takes place on a bunch of tiny floating platforms and spherical planes. I much prefer "worlds" or "levels" in the classic sense of the term, much like the level where you first get the bee suit in Galaxy.

Dire, Dire, Docks. 'Nuff said.
